Out of curiosity, who else is proficient in SQL and/or other languages?
I have seen this come up in quite a few topics recently (e.g. to stay on top of AI we accountants need to really be sharp on the IT side of things).
My story: I had elementary SQL experience for around the last 7-8 years. There was never a need to do much besides modify existing queries. We had an IT dept that did any heavy lifting for new requests.
Fast forward – I now have a highly analytical role that basically consists with writing SQL queries from scratch in order to answer various business questions. I would currently consider myself at an intermediate. Nearly all of my learning is self taught (trial and error and research via Stackoverflow and other sites).
Most of my queries are at least a few hundred lines of code when you factor in subqueries and other complexity.
