Before I started Enki I had a basic understanding of SQL but I never really had a chance to practice it. I knew that SQL would be useful for my work but I do not have a technical background so I always felt slightly intimidated by SQL.
How did your expectations of Enki match up with reality?
Coming into the course I knew I wanted to build upon and cement my understanding of SQL but I completely underestimated the impact Enki would have on my work. I think the fact that Enki teaches you the why and not just the how when writing queries really allowed me to understand and practice the concepts I was familiar with.
How has what you have learned at Enki translated into your work place?
I now understand the processes behind queries rather than just passively writing them. This allowed me to better understand our back end processes. Before completing the course I had to wait for other members of the team to perform SQL related tasks. Now I am able to navigate databases and pull relevant data without help! I am also now able to communicate much more efficiently with engineers on the team.
What was your favourite thing about Enki?
I really enjoyed how customizable the experience was. For areas that I found particularly useful I was able to dig deeper into slightly more advanced concepts. This really allowed me to maximize my time!
Having that friendly technical colleague by your side at all times isn’t cheap! But our software allocates their time in a way that makes it 10X more cost-effective than if it was all offline.
