    Sorry mate. . I hope you are well? Spurs are doing well.....
    The CBI now has a suity levy, which funds a shell company to contract with suity to develop a BPM tool, to keep him out of mischief.

    The Department for Exiting the European Union has recently tasked MI6 with developing an options paper examining opportunities to contract this shell company with EU governance bodies.

      I agree, Hardly a job ad that wants a SQL Server DBA unless they can also do Oracle/MongoDB/MySQL or are also developers. Experts will admit they don't even know all aspects of SQL Server.

          A lot of the top boys have retired. It takes a lot less skill and commitment to get involved now (and has for the last ten years). Therefore the average skill level is lower than it was 20 years ago. Add into that the throwaway culture of "get it done and rebuild it in a few years", and universities are seeing less and less IT bright undergrad intakes due to FUD about offshoring. "Agile" practices have led us into amateur hour.

          Squeeze the last bit of milk out of this old cow while you can get your grubby hands on her withered teet. Because for sure, the axe man is sharpening his tool.

            Just cut off the bits you don't know. Simples.

            Most SQL Server job ads want full stack - SSMS, SSIS, SSRS and SSAS these days.

              yep.

              Just make sure something uses each part, even if its internal. SSRS reports on data loading etc.
