Genuine Topic
A couple of years ago I started contracting as a SQL developer and I came onto this forum before I started:
My first thread:
http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ntracting.html
(please note SAS's response!)
Ah the nostalgia.....
Anyway, back to topic. I started as pure SQL and then worked my way into the BI/Data warehousing world. I am pretty darn good at what I do (so everybody keeps telling me anyway). I have now reached the point where there isn't a great deal to learn. Done everything including ETL, DW, SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, DBA, T-SQL and the list goes on.....
It makes sense for me to stay within the MS space rather than go somewhere else, at the same time I want to learn something different and give myself some motivation/challenge (nothing to do with rates obviously...)
Should I do a course or just stick to the way I have done things before, namely just learn them in my own time? Is it worth going into or is there something else I can do to advance my contracting "career"?
Cheers guys!
