• Hello there,

    I would recommend another lecture: http://www.red-gate.com/community/books/exceptional-dba-book

    You can download the free PDF of the "How to become an Exceptional DBA". Consider the characteristics that Brad highlights for the DBAs to have, they are essential to our profession. Such as (some examples from the book): Do you like working off-hours? Or being called out at the middle of the night to work on a critical issue? . You already have the initial skills required (or even more) , so maybe these questions can help you narrow the decision.
