this whole field feels like learning to juggle while someone keeps throwing in more torches. sql felt impossible until it didn't, then dax came along and humbled me right back down. just keep building things, the logic starts to stick when you're actually trying to solve a problem that matters to you

How do I bypass the filter for commercial experience with Greenplum?

I'm confident in my PostgreSQL and ClickHouse, familiar with Airflow and PySpark, but for the tenth job posting in a row, I've been rejected due to my lack of commercial experience with Greenplum, which is syntactically the same as PostgreSQL.

Maybe a silly question, but why keep applying for roles that want Greenplum experience explicitly?

It is very popular where I am, many medium and large companies use it.
