Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> So off topic..... RE: Production Oracle DBA Needed in Rochester,
I've met some VERY AWSOME DBA's from over the entire planet, and I've
met some of the stupidest, most idiotic, incompetent, impossible, DBA's
from all over the planet. Maybe this would be a fun thread, "your top 10
list
of the top Oracle DBA's in the world."

Ahhh...be careful what you ask for. If that were truly the case, then you might not be able to find a job, since you would be outbid from someone working else where. Obviously, skills are a critical factor, but explain that to the bean counters...
Some of the developers here are becoming very angry because some of the work has been "farmed-out" overseas because of their lower rates. It is a very interesting situation that I am quietly observing. The world is indeed becoming smaller.
I have carefully worded this email in the hopes that I do not offend some of the VERY talented/god-like DBAs we have on this list that come a variety of locations around this great planet. I hope that I have succeeded.

Yeah, does anybody know what happened to the new Internet concept of "location doesn't matter"? I thought by now I could be sitting at home taking DBA assignments all over the country, if not over the world?

> If you need a change of location, you can get one easier... OK, now I understand what you meant.
I can testify to the relocation potential because I recently escaped the Silicon Valley rat race to come up here to God's country. Nevertheless, I still fantasize about rendering remote DBA support via a laptop with multi-band satellite connectivity from a log cabin while snowed in at 10,000 feet. (Or while lounging in a hammock on some Carribean Ilse.) While I support servers 1000's of miles away, employers like to see you and hear you tapping on the keyboard. Working and living ANYWHERE is not so much a technical problem as it is an organizational, human relations challenge. Sigh...

Well, up until about a couple of years ago, that was very true from what I experienced... Now, perhaps it takes a bit more work, but there seems to be enough demand around for the time being..... Perhaps number 10 should be rather:
