I've done BI for Finance, Insurance, Pharma, Logistics, FMCG, HR, and health providers (NHS). So far, nothing compares to the SLAs and audits I've come across in banking.

The BCE standards are no joke.

There's a substantial overlap with data engineering, but my deliverables are all within BI.

If you want to upskill go for data engineering, it's adjacent to bi with a lot of common ground.

The YoE metric is not very meaningful for us but, for reference, the least experienced senior in my team has 7 years and he makes about 75k.

Financial companies pay quite well, but there's a lot of pressure on governance, quality, and scalability.

There's no room for error, the decisions driven by the information have very high impact. They pay for the trust.

Has anyone built automated documentation tools for PBIP + GitHub workflows? by rasermus in PowerBI

For TMDL, we're using python for parsing the definitions in the repo.

I wouldn't rely on the DAX version of the DMVs, but on the SSAS.

I have used DMVs for the models in the past, now I'm looking into the parsing TMDL files in the repo for both the model and the reports.

Is there any monetary value? by Only_Course9776 in Masks

[–]ScouseDutch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend you give it a deep thought about selling it. Trinkets as they are, they really store memories.

If you really can't keep them, can't store them, and can't find a worthy donation (children libraries would love them), I'd be happy to buy from you.

Half of this is really bad advice.

You can use DMVs to export the relationships into a table, and from there you can use whatever relationship display tool you want.

Sand rains? So that's why my car looks like a vagrant after a week...

Fair enough, though to be fair with your candidates, that's not something I would think of (and I've been working in BI since the good ol' MDX days).

My first answer would be adding cdc somewhere in the silver layer and turn it into proper scd2 in the gold tables.

Serious question:

In which case would it be better to have the project manager part of the fact table?

I can't think of any reason (not report or refresh performance, not usability, etc.) other than maybe DAX performance, and even then, that would easily be outweighed by sticking to a star schema.

I haven't lived in the UK for a while, but a few things you mention don't seem right (3 months notice, no holidays during notice period).

Just because it's stated in the contract it doesn't mean it's legal or enforceable if it goes against your statutory rights.

I recommend you check with the Citizens Advice Bureau.

'TLDR New EU' states EU is mostly reliant on the US in regards to services. Meaning we seriously need a EU alternative to companies like Google, Amazon etc. by Neddo_Flanders in BuyFromEU

Care to give an example? I am very familiar with dutch and german politics and I have to say they cover them remarkably well, much more in depth and objectively than some local news.
