- then target DP-203 — that’s the main one for Azure Data Engineers.

DP-203 is going to be retired
Dont go for DP-203. I got to know it is retiring on 31, March,2025.
Parent context: I wrote my 3 exams in a test center and honestly that was way better. My belongings were kept in a locker, they took a photo of me and bang..I was given a private room with a computer, paper and pen with no kind of surveillance. Great experience it was Reply: Yeah, I did DP-203 remotely. Never again. Test centres, if available, are so, so much better
Isn't that the DP-203? That cert retires in March 2025 so you should swap to DP-700.
When I did DP-203, the MS Learn material was largely copied from random Synapse workshops with directions that were impossible to follow if you didn't have the lab material, which wasn't publicly available.
