I’ve spent my entire professional career in the Microsoft ecosystem…from humble beginning with Excel/Access to SQL Server, SSIS, and Azure. My current DE job is also exclusively using MS tooling (Azure Data Factory, SQL Server, Cosmos, etc.)

Over time, I’ve been improving my Python skills and working more towards the more “modern” data engineering stack tools. This brings me to a crossroads.

As I seek to modernize my skill set and think about the broader Data Engineer market, does it make sense to stay so MS-focused, or is it a smarter/more marketable move to branch out?

Appreciate any insights/thoughts on the matter!
