If you get really good at SQL Leetcode, does that translate to anything role wise? Analyst or Data scientist skills?

We have SQL readability for internal transfers too. Look it up on Moma.

Re: your question, I see some T2 tech companies giving business intelligence/ data analysts SQL tests as part of the interview process. To be on the DS ladder at Google, you need stats too.

Thanks. I'm in a biz / pgm role and am solid at SQL. I really like it and was considering getting better but no interest in the super technical roles. Was wondering if there's any upside esp on the L5+ biz roles.

If you're looking for something more technical, I think data analyst would probably be your best bet in terms of your SQL knowledge. Data scientist might require some more technical skills with regards to machine learning, statistics, Python, etc.

For most data roles, SQL is a skillset that's firmly in the "necessary but not sufficient" category. With SQL, fancier Excel, and some case interview sense, you can pass for BI roles. Stuff like data analyst and data scientist will also require stats and some always unknown amount of ML and "regular language" leetcode, which aren't nearly as quick to learn. For DBA, you really need to learn the database tech and not just how to query. Closest to pure SQL will be some weirdly worded jobs with "analyst" in the name that say something like "data librarian" or focus on "reporting" in the description. Those are getting more and more outsourced though, since you can learn enough to do them in just a few days.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)

Hi Fishes I am in a complex situation, please help me out..

I got an offer with TCS and initially selected joining date as Jan 2.. but current org released me in 1 month instead of 3 months.. I asked TCS HR and others for early Onboarding but they didn't respond well..

After that I got one offer and joined immediately. But now I don't like to work here as I have to go to office all 5 days mandatorily, also role is slightly new to me.

How can join in TCS on the selected date ?
Any possibility?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
