As to be prepared for a HUGE interview on Friday because I’m too excited to sleep. This opportunity can be life changing as it could bump my annual by 30k a year! Also money aside the job is exactly what I want to be doing in my career at this moment, how can one sleep when there are skills to brush up on and cars to dream about buying!
I’m dreaming of a cts-v wagon. mmmm wont happen even with that pay increase. But i’m gonna dream all the same!

Good luck! I often find that a new ride is the best form of motivation.

Good luck! Been in the SQL (DBA) game for over 20 years. CTS-V wagon is also on my list!

It may just be me, but your aspiring job title doesn;t sound like something that would require SQL knowledge

Good luck! In a field like that, you’ll likely need to change companies a few times to advance at the right pace.
V-wagons are starting to hit the used market in tiny quantities...I’m going to test the waters with mine later this month...I hope it all works out for you!

The product is really just a front end to a massive SQL database. My last Job was the same thing more or less. Front end software with SQL back end. You’d be surprised how often the software you interface is really nothing more than a GUI front to a database back end.

That’s what I’m finding. I switched from General IT (networking, help desk, ect..) to product support 3.5 years ago and finding advancement has been a PITA! This position is 117.6% what I have been looking for over the past year. I really hope I get it!
What year is you v-wagon? MAybe I’ll buy it! haha Oh and welcome out of the grey! You can now post all you’d like :)

During my last interview I prepared to field some SQL questions but got caught off guard by this one:
Explain the difference between a clustered and non-clustered index. Why can a table have only one clustered index?

Mine is a 2013, manual trans black wagon. One of the very last ones made. Just a great car. I was so excited about it that I pulled some strings at GM and walked the assembly line with it while they were building it. They used to batch up the wagon orders and do a bunch at once, so it was extra-fun to see so many getting built. Maybe I ought to post about that...??? Anyhow, I hope your interview goes/went great and thanks for the follow!

I actually can answer this but I don’t think the SQL requirements are that deep. haha I hope!

Based on limited experience, I think the auto in the Cts-V is quite good. It would certainly be nicer to live with in traffic, if you have a busy commute...

I like it. My title is Senior Operations Specialist; a sexy title for a not that sexy job. Plus I’m 25, I ain’t no senior.
