Hi All,It has been 2.4 years I have joined in my company right after my graduation, I stay in India’s beautiful city called HYDERABAD, I am in same company since I have joined. And friends I am now asking myself wither am I going right in my carrier. ..as I am not sure where I stand in knowledge on comparison with other fellows of my experience as SQL production DBA. So I request you all great brains in here to show me where I stand as a DBA, and where I should improvise myself. And what would a company expect from me by looking my experience.Waiting for your reply--shash stikk im a student |

| How would we know where you stand as a DBA when we have no idea what your experience level is?Where do you rate yourself: junior, intermediate, senior, or master DBA?With 2.4 years of experience, I'd say in the junior or intermediate range. What is your current job title?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |

| It depends on how much you are exposed to it? Also SSIS, Reporting Services and SSAS. |

Most DBAs will not need to have much experience on those. A working knowledge of them is good, but you don't need high experience level on those to be a very good DBA.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |

| I expect an intermediate DBA to do the things that I don't want to do, such as SQL Server installations and other mundane tasks. I expect them to have enough knowledge to not bother me all of the time with questions.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |

I have heard of forum troll...And by the way, my 4.5 year old daughter can install SQL Server from a CD.That doesn't mean she know how to install a SQL Server.
