Which ETL tool is better to go for. I have experience of 2.5 years in asp.net but I don't have interest in front end coding. Tools are R and SAS are also there for analytics. Which field pays well and have good career growth
If you are already have experience in asp .net, try picking up SSIS, SSRS etc. That makes for a very good combination.
