Hey Kendra,
I'm GUESSING that one reason these Redgate surveys fall-flat with FoRG would be that a decent number of us work with multiple different groups/clients.
In other words, these surveys are easy-ish to answer if I'm a DBA at, say, Acme Corp... but if I'm the de-facto DBA for piddlyCorp, weeble-wobbles Inc, a contractor for the Xyz Division of such and such corp, and a consultant for 3x 'Biggee' corps or whatever... then, I'm not sure exactly how to answer some of the very specific questions. Further, I'm typically going to have various/different responsibilities and/or ability to 'impact' overall direction from one company to the next...
No idea HOW we go about fixing/addressing that (other than ... MAYBE it'd make sense for folks in this situation to, uhhhh, maybe take the survey a few times - once per each applicable client/role?) ... but assuming that this is PART of why response might be lower than expected...
That said, I'll zip out and take it for 'one of' my clients right now... -
I completely agree with @OverAchiever. I'm in the exact same situation as I work for a consulting firm and not a single company. I did, however, take the survey and use a different client experience to answer each question as to apply the particular experience to the question. Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that but that's the only way I found to do it.

The Redgate 2020 State of Database DevOps Survey is now live and collecting responses. We need YOU to help the survey be successful by taking the survey and sharing it with your colleagues.
Why you?
For the last few years, we have seen a low response from the Friends of Redgate for this survey, which is a real shame as you all have valuable thoughts and expertise to share with the community-- and you're incredibly influential in sharing this with others. If you could please spare 15-20 minutes to complete this year's survey before the end of November we'd be incredibly grateful. Bonus points if you help us spread the word on social media, too!While the survey will remain open past November, getting responses early helps us a ton as we can get a jump on analyzing trends early as the data takes shape.
Please note that we want to hear from people working with databases whether or not they are doing DevOps!
Sharing the survey is good for the world
This year we are still giving away a fabulous prize to one lucky winner (an iPad Air 64GB ), but we are also donating $1 USD for every completed survey to UNICEF.This means that completing the survey not only helps us learn are share insights to the database community about trends in database development, but you are helping raise money for a good cause.
Steal these tweets
I've already asked you to take the survey, so I can at least save you time and give you sample text to use or customize if you are willing and able to share the survey on social mediaThese tweets have a slightly different "friendly link" that is not specific to Friends of Redgate...
"Be part of the leading research on Database Development -- all who work with databases are encouraged to respond: https://Redgate.com/DevOpsSurvey"
"Help redgate reach their donation goal by taking part in their research on database development: https://Redgate.com/DevOpsSurvey"
"If you're a DBA or database developer, please take this survey today: https://Redgate.com/DevOpsSurvey"
Thanks for your help!
