Hi Will et al., I hope you're all doing well! I had a quick question that I’m hoping you might be able to help with. I’m relatively new to the world of Fabric and haven’t yet taken either the DP-600 or DP-700 certification exams. I was wondering—would you recommend starting with the DP-600, or is it reasonable to go straight for the DP-700? Also, does one of these certifications carry more weight or recognition in the data engineering space? Thanks in advance for your insights! Best regards, James C
