Subject: RE: DBA's salary range for Down Under
I *hope* that the UK salary is a typo -- 720,000 pounds is the equivalent of 150,000 dollars?????? <G>
Don't know if I would die of boredeom in Montana, I like cold weather and snow, although I don't and won't ski (vertigo combined with a fear of heights, and no, the two are NOT the same!). And my hobbies tend to be "quiet" -- needlework, reading, time with friends, email (okay, so I'm an addict.. hello my name is Rachel and I am an emailoholic)
Dunno why you'd go nuts in NYC, it's possible to live and work here and still be "small town". While I technically grew up in NYC (Queens County), that is worlds different than Manhattan (which everyone, including the mayor, seems to think *is* NYC). I live in a fairly small town just outside of NYC now, 50,000 people, and commute to the city. So I have the best of both worlds... a real community lifestyle with access to "bright lights".
And for those on this list who get upset with people talking about something
that is not Oracle...... you need a life. Getting to know one another here by sharing opinions and information is the best way to network and have someone you can ask your Oracle question of later on :)
