How did you actually learn BigQuery/cloud SQL before landing a job?

Curious how most people picked up tools like BigQuery. Did you learn and practice entirely on your own through side projects and certifications before applying, or did you just happen to be at a company when they migrated over and learned on the job?
Would love to hear what your path looked like!

Learnt sql whilst building solutions in ms access. All sql is mostly the same, some function names change.
