SQL Server Database Administrator Review

SQL Server DBA - Managing and maintaining SQL servers throughout our estate. Daily I complete requests from staff as well as run the bank activities.

The best skill that I'm still learning is the query language. I've built up other skills such as communication, team work and time management.

It took a while to get going but after that and when the work load started to come through I began to enjoy it a lot more.

I feel quite valued at HSBC it feels like I belong to a team.

In the beginning it wasn't very organised at all, we had a change of tutors a few month into the program which delayed our course by a month or so. After this the program began to take shape and the new tutor has really helped up to get back to the normal rate.

I personally have had ample support, especally with my maths. They did not give up on me or anyone come to think of it.

My employer has been a good support in terms of my progression.

Without overtime I can just about make it through the month, I know other apprenticeships throughout the country are only on a few pound an hour so I am more than happy with what I'm paid compared to these. If the pay packet was lower I think I'd still be in my old dead-end job.

There are some

Yes

This is a brilliant organisation to work for; they train you up in house or send to the external companies for training such as QA and Microsoft. There are also opportunities to learn other technologies too so if after a few years on one certain technology you can request to learn something new.
