I’ll keep my expertise in devOps and big data as a backup plan and if the question comes up I’ll advise them to only dig one lake to throw all the data in that.Comment

So my questions:
1. Is this big data?
2. Can I raise my rate to a grand a day?
Failing that.
1. Is this DevOps
2. Can I raise my rate to a grand a day?

People here are mean. I thought this was a highly entertaining start to a thread then the usual trolls poisoned it.
HB - if you have a data lake, make sure it is a lake and not a pond. The difference is its depth. If you have a shallow body of data, it's a pond. If it's deep enough to have a zone where daylight can't reach, it's a lake. If you truly have the latter then that's where data mining (another handy term to know) comes in. I've not yet figured out how one mines a lake, although GoT could give you tips on how to go fishing with dynamite.
If going for the suggested plan B you could also incorporate some of pooper's charts into your powerpoint slides as that will help illustrate your expertise.Comment

1) If it's too much to fit into a .Xls then it's "Big Data" as defined by the HMG.
2) If a grand a day seems like a lot of money, then you have no hope of ever securing a government contract.England's greatest sailor since Nelson lost the armada.Comment
