Is the job scope creep for data analytics getting out of hand?

I recently finished an interview for a senior business developer role, and the requirements they were looking for seemed completely unreasonable. Not necessarily the knowledge required, but in my previous experience this role would have required at least 3 separate individuals if not 3 distinct teams.

  • 1st they wanted the developer to manager the entire ETL/datawarehouse process.
  • 2nd they wanted the developer to manage the data in SQL and run reports/queries from SQL.
  • 3rd the role would be required to build dashboards in a BI tool.
  • 4th they wanted that same person to take all that data and present it to senior leadership, give actionable insights, and get their feedback into how to modify those dashboards/build new dashboards.

To me, each one of these is its own role. I've previous combined 3-4 in a few jobs and 2-3 in another, but the first requirement on its own always had an entire dedicated team.

Is this the new expectation in the job market? For an analyst to be an engineer, data analyst, business analyst and product owner?

Best sound effect tools for indie game development?

I've been working on an indie game for a few months now, and I've started to clean up the early levels to a point where I finally want to add in sound effects and possibly some generic voiceovers. Some of the sound effects I've been trying to find have been difficult finding high-quality effects on the free sites like Freesound and Pixabay.

I almost subbed to an Epidemic Sound subscription, but I read as soon as you cancel the sub, they'll strike all the content you made. So I looked at Artlist as a recommended alternative, and heard they don't even provide licensing for game content unless you want a custom plan that's tons of $.

I was fine with the idea of paying $10-20 for some decent quality sound effects and maybe AI voiceovers, but I have no idea what is even viable at this point.
