Hi,I work in a system administrator type role, managing and supporting things like server 2008, local network, AD, exchange, patching, workstation etc.
I also have been doing ssrs reports over last year or so and have been working with SQL server.
I am interested in doing sql server exam, but will this do me any good?, and what career path could I take?.
Doing exams will force you to learn about things that you haven't used in your daily job, so it will expand your knowledge on SQL Server. You might not be a professional in it, but at least you know it's existence. (for example, I know all the types of replication, but I'm not an expert in setting it up)
There are about 3 career paths in SQL Server:
* DBA (on-premises and/or in the cloud)
* database developer
* business intelligence developer
You don't need to do just one, you can mix them up a bit, but it is pretty hard to be proficient in all 3 at the same time.
Need an answer? No, you need a question
