My primary searches would be for something like Reporting Developer, Reporting Analyst, Report Writer, Business Analyst (for a very established business where most of the responsibilities are actually getting stuff out of a database).

I would be looking at small to medium businesses that have been around for awhile, many of them have "legacy" databases that nobody knows how to query, and someone conversant in SQL would have no big problem breaking down.

The breathless ones going on about their cloud migrations are ones to avoid.



Thanks for the specific recommendations for searches, as we don't know the analyst space too well, but it sounds like reporting or analytics at a small/medium established business may be exactly what she's looking for.
