DP-700
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Lots of free certs on offer for DP-xxx certs like 900, 700, etc. This is a growing area & certainly has a skill gap
- If you’re looking for purely technical certs I’d suggest broader, not deeper. Think security and or fabric (AZ-500; DP-700).
- if you're eyeing a data analyst role now and want room to grow into data engineering later, DP-700 might be the smoother next step after DP-900—it’s more focused on analytics and reporting with Power BI, which aligns with most analyst ro...
- The brandnew Fabric certs DP-600 and DP-700 are hot topic recently
- That cert retires in March 2025 so you should swap to DP-700.
Cons
- No matter what you choose after that Data (DP-100), Security (SC-100), DevOps (AZ-400), Fabric (DP-700), or Networking (AZ-700)
- be careful the Fabric focus on DP-700 is deep
- Difficult to study DP-700 in a month, I assume OP hasn't cleared DP-600 which is already quite a lot to chew on.
- I think DP-700 cause I have some expierence in on-premise integrations and datawarehouses.

They’re currently running an introductory 50% discount on DP-700 so might be worth a go if you only studied for DP-203 so recently
