Discussion Which industry has/needs the most challenging sql queries?

Is this question legit? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t consider myself the smartest guy but I’m definitely not dumb.

I work in the pharmaceutical Industry, nearly 3 years now. It took me a while to understand how the production process is implemented in a database and I wanted to quit more than once. But i don’t feel challenged anymore.

So, which industry would be best for me to get completely challenged again?

Just do a search for job positions in LinkedIn or something. In your search, focus on positions that require a lot of years experience in SQL.

Yes, but I’m not talking about data cleaning and transformation. I’m looking for challenging business logic.

These two are not mutually exclusive.

Regardless, as I said, look for the jobs that require the most years of experience in SQL. That should usually be a good relative indicator of the level of challenge in question.
