My experience is in Business Intelligence, Data, Database...all around there. This particular role pays that much because of the company, the range for similar roles have been between $85k-$105k.

I'm working on this myself. I'm going to have to save up some money so by the time I have the dough I should be prepared for it. What resources are you using to study? I have to All in One book, a udemy course, and cybrary course.This Cysa+ got way more depth than the Sec+ for damn sure. Had to push that hoe back two weeks.
Jumping straight to the CISSP after all this.
I ripped the CBT Nugget vids but those were trash.
Now I have a free Lynda account through work that im using which gets much more in depth.
I'm a business/it major and bi is possibly a route I have thinking of taking how is your day to day? And how advanced would my SQL skills need to be
If you are trying to be a dev then you need to understand Relational and Non Relational (NoSQL) DB's and ETL concepts.
Most definitely! DC pays way better though, so a lot of people I know commute. If I could do it over, I would have started my earlier career in DC.
It really depends on the role you're doing. When I say development, it's been more developing reporting applications and dashboards, so I used a lot of SQL to write the scripts that pulled data into the applications. When I did Analyst work, I would use SQL more for basic querying or troubleshooting. So like getting a quick count of members or sum of dollars.I also have a lot of experience so I look for senior or lead roles that way I can command a higher salary.
I DBA isn't a DB Developer in the literal sense. If you want to be a good BI Dev you'd want to understand DBs from a Dev perspective not just an admin perspective.
Some places won't consider a candidate without a degree. Having a master's can put you ahead of the curve because they assume the holder has more knowledge/experience than someone with a bachelor's, which isn't necessarily the case. That piece of paper is definitely important. The knowledge vs a boot camp or self-teaching is different.

Personally I'm only interested in getting a frontend/fullstack developer job at a startup (or medium size company). I don't think a degree matters too much in my line of work. Of course if you want to work with Disney or Google or whatever you obviously need a degree. Big companies like that are obsessed with certification.
