I keep lingering with this TCC stuff and right now it makes great sense because there&#8217;s no one left doing it, but there&#8217;s also no one left on Taleo for all intents and purposes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So where to go from here? I&#8217;ve got my degree, bachelor of science in data analytics and management (BS DAM). But that doesn&#8217;t really get me where I need to be. So some certifications are in order. I think the low hanging fruit of that is SQL. I&#8217;ve been working with it for years so I know it well. But what flavor of SQL? I think that it&#8217;s Microsoft SQL DBA with Azure certs. Seems to be lots of jobs and many are remote. I&#8217;ve been working with MSSQL since the version 6.5 days back in the early 00&#8217;s. Just need to get up to speed and nail the certs and I&#8217;ve got the next 10 &#8211; 15 years taken care of, living in the middle of nowhere hording money for retirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now to make it happen. I think the first step is AZ-900 which is the general Azure non-technical test. I&#8217;ve seen people crush it in a weekend. I&#8217;ll be a little more easy going but shouldn&#8217;t take more than a couple of weeks. Maybe by May??? More soon&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you know I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out where the next chapter of my career is going to take me.
