View Sql Salary Guide →SQL (Structured Query Language) is the foundation of data management, enabling querying, manipulation, and analysis of relational databases. Proficiency in SQL is essential for virtually every data-related role and many software engineering positions. Companies expect SQL skills for backend development, data engineering, data analysis, business intelligence, and any role working with databases. SQL practitioners write queries, design schemas, optimize performance, and understand database concepts across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and other systems. Understanding query optimization and data modeling distinguishes strong candidates. SQL proficiency is fundamental for roles paying $80k to $170k+ depending on specialization. The ecosystem includes various database systems, ORMs, and analysis tools. LeetHire connects SQL-proficient candidates with companies through practical technical assessments.
Absolutely essential. SQL is required for most technical and analytical roles. Despite NoSQL alternatives, relational databases and SQL remain dominant for transactional data and analytics.
Beyond basic queries: joins, window functions, CTEs, query optimization, indexing understanding, and ability to write complex analytical queries. Performance tuning is highly valued.
SQL itself is a foundational skill rather than a premium specialization. Strong SQL skills are expected in data engineering ($100k-$170k+), analytics ($80k-$140k+), and backend roles ($90k-$160k+).
Start with PostgreSQL—it's feature-rich and popular. MySQL and SQL Server are also widely used. Core SQL concepts transfer between databases; specific syntax differences are minor.
