Big Data

[vetran]

Not the end of the world if the data is stored in SQL which is what it sounds like and they are just doing some analysis in excel. Sure there might be better solutions but excel is fine (maybe even the tool of choice in some cases) for a bit of ad hoc analysis... it just fails as data storage.

That is exactly what is happening after I forced them into it. Previously it was all done in Excel and stored on a network share. Then they wanted to control it and report on it. Excel is acting as a screen and a button to confirm. Stored procedures run by VBA, I still feel dirty!

My technical vocabulary is getting a bit out of date.

Where I work there are a bunch of clouds, data lakes, non-relational databases, microservices and such like. Lots of information zipping about.

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?


I don’t want to repeat my mistake of rejecting all the jobs that wanted “Redbrick Universities” because I thought I’d have to work with plebs.

Call yourself a Data Scientist and double your rate.
