@mismas, The client will definitely expect a lot with 7 years of experience in the resume. People have done it and survied, it totally depends how you approach at client side. I do not have 7 years experience not in resume and not in real world. My suggesstion, try to find a job like an intern if possible. That is how I started and now I am a full time employee with the same company for over 2 years. I do not know your education background, for me it was little easy because I did my master's in Database Systems focusing on SQl Server. Good Luck!!  Let me know if you need any help regarding SQL Server.

As my user name suggest, I'm a DW/BI developer with around 8 yrs of experience and I'm still learning. So, take a wild guess!! You can enter BI  field with 2-3 yrs of experience. Good luck. Last edited: 25-Sep-13 10:54 AM

Thanks ktmko laure and bi-polar bro. I did get my masters in MIS and know database fairly well(Way ahead of ppl who take training with history or business majors) . I didnt do any internships. I am in OPT now(2 mahina gaisakyo). I wouldnt mind starting an entry level position. I know SSIS, SSRS. I know ppl are surviving with those jhoot experience. Mero co le marketing gari rakheko chha, tara maile side ma afai pani khojera garau vanne socheko. Yaha internships garina.

Here's my take on this bro: If you can find a company where they're just implementing BI projects. I think you'll do well since you already have some exposure to it. But, if you join a company where they already have BI team(s),it will be little hard for you because in BI field, after 5-7 yrs of experience, you'll be considered as senior or project lead. After 10 yrs of experience you can apply for a Director level. If you have a good programming background on .net, it's a plus.

Pick up something else also that complements the field besides (SSIS/SSAS/SSRS). SharePoint (PerformancePoint) R (Freee open source tool for DM/Statistical plotting and Advanced analytics) SAS Java Hadoop Map-Reduce C# etc..etc..... That way, you'll always stand tall among other candidates. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. They expect a lot in candidates with experienc in pretty much every thing:). The job requirements are just ridiculous at times.
