I’m about to get staffed on an assessment analytics role using Microsoft Access and SQL, neither which I have any familiarity with. Role starts in 2 weeks. Any suggestions on resources and quick maths

Khan Academy- Intro to SQL, Microsoft Virtual Academy- Querying with Transact SQL, W3, Coursera, EdX

Both are fairly easy. Lynda and Code Academy will do the trick

like

Go to YouTube and watch SQL videos on the channel - kudvenkat. They are the best.

I agree 2 weeks is a lot of time to demystify a lot of the unknowns, I would say code academy and within 2 weeks you will have a base to help you figure the rest out. These systems were not designed to be complicated

If none of the ones listed above are to your liking, pluralsight is AWESOME. I’ve tried other courses and it’s by far the best. I don’t suggest W3 schools if ur starting from scratch. It leaves a lot of unknowns imo

Seconded on code academy.

I started from nothing too. So I did a Udemy course, which provided me with a good basic SQL background, enough to do queries and run reports

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I’m assuming for Microsoft Access specific resources, YouTube is probably be best?

Coursera

Hey A OP I have a pretty nice SQL deck I was a trainer at my last company - I send it to you!

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
