MSFT absolutely has better wlb

Just in case this hasn't been emphasized enough... Microsoft has infinitely better WLB. But it's not because MS is so awesome, but because Amazon is a live-and-die-for-the-project reputation bearing place.

Microsoft is the choice here.

Amazon probably pays better but it's not worth the massive hit to WLB.

I have been working in healthcare clinics and health techs for a few years now. I’m an independent consultant. Bust, a friend of mine referred me to a big bank job. The role is of data governance manager. What should I know for the interview, or how can I prepare for it? Any thoughts? They told me I don’t need financial background. Data is data, but they wanted to know metadata management and how do I build frameworks/implement enterprise systems.
