Do I need to know databases to succeed in tech?

I studied ece in undergrad and never learnt about databases beyond a few basic sql queries.
Joined MS directly in azure infra so never really needed it.
Will lack of DB knowledge work against me in the future. Seems like pretty important topic given all applications and business logic requires you to understand DB.

Youโre not getting 470k for your memorized knowledge on underlying implementations of various technologies. Youโre getting paid that much because they know you could figure that shit out when you need to.
