It's amazing that most of us core users have been here for over 10 years. I think I'm in my 12th year now as a Tekforums user
I'm currently a "Technical Business Consultant" for Santander UK. In theory I've been with them for 7 years now as I was originally working for Alliance & Leicester. I'm sure a few of you know that Santander took over A&L during the banking crisis.
Simply put I do data mining, report creation and some analytical work. In a normal week I will probably use at some point, MS Access, MS Excel, VBA, MS SQL Server, Oracle SQL, SAS, Visual Studio(C# and VB Web development) and if I'm really unlucky Business Objects.
Unfortunately, having to use so many different programs means I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none. Until the take over I was very much on a path of C#/VB web development with SQL Server back ends. But as Santander were about 5 years behind A&L in terms of MI and report delivery, web pages were almost frowned upon and that meant that for all of last year I didn't finish a single web project. One that I was working on got turned into a crappy Excel report
But as of Friday, my team has been told that we can use web pages as a delivery method again, so here's hoping I can do more of what I enjoyed most.
That said, it's a great place to work and my closest of work colleagues are all top guys. Not just work colleagues, but some of the best friends I have..... I even live with one! As others have said, I actually look forward to going into work most days
