Have done the Microsoft SQL Server stack fairly successfully for the last few years. Would like to move on to something else technical/architectural, but there is a world out there and given the abundance of SQL Server roles, I have never ventured too far outside my core space so far.
Where would you recommend I turn next?
- Distributed database (aka "Medium data"?) technologies like Netezza/Teradata etc
- Nosql-based technologies that use big data/hadoop like systems.
- Somewhere else/some other way of thinking about this...
Obviously I am asking with a view to continuing a contracting (not permanent) career. In the UK and not outside. A quick search on jobserve for e.g. returns 100s of results for "SQL Server", but only 10-20 for Netezza or Teradata.
A more architectural role but I am basically a database person.
