PANIK: The very first record my client reviewed threw up a discrepancy in my magical SQL aggregate code output compared to a manual aggregate, where I thought did everything right. Cue significant embarrassment at meeting.
KALM: I quickly realised the pattern of errors and learned something new about UNION (it removes duplicate rows - I'd included the primary ID for two tabled but not two others so if all the other attributes were the same they were excluded, d'oh).
Phew. Relieved that it was an understandable error at my level. Still rockin' it. 😎
Fellow IT person! Yay! lol Good work :)
sweats nervously i-i'm not an IT person, I just randomly shoehorn in solutions and half learn SQL instead of python because I can't be bothered doing manual analyses yet also am too lazy to actually program but thanks
If I repeated that sentence to any of my clients they would think I was speaking another language lol I hope you're being renumerated well for your role :)
Hah, definitely not. I don't think management really understands or appreciates what I've brought to the business at all - they can only see my failures and downplay my strengths (and in doing so create a vicious cycle where I underperform due to anxiety and poor self esteem). Definitely not a good fit any more, hence why I'm bowing out very soon once I finish my current project.
Sounds like a smart move. I'll probably be doing the same at my current role in a month or so. It's so hard to find a good company to work for these days.
