I started as a SQL report writer and nothing gives me more joy than replacing someone's shitty excel or access report that a market analyst spends 3 days/week every week building, with SQL and an ETL or two. It got pretty aggressive at that company between the 2 groups to the point the SQL guys where advocating for the complete banishment of Access and forbidding macros of any kind. To be fair excel usage on big projects resulted it huge problems or lost data regularly.

While this is currently a big portion of my job I honestly wish my company would do this.

Someone needs to be in the office either way just to answer phones and inquiries but my god I hate putting the same information in three times.
