Hello Gurus,
I've been wondering about something, at best this can be dangerous :-) Is
anyone else been doing some serious career path evaluation?
I have been wondering seriously about the future of Oracle, I don't know if
it is just my imagination but Oracle's market share seems to be dwindling
rapidly, both on the small to medium enterprise but also in the high end
enterprise scope. I think someone on this group mentioned the other day that
Oracle's revenues and market share base was begin held up by existing
customers, and was not experiencing any noteworthy growth in new customers.
Lets face it Oracle is pricing itself out of the market, DBs like MSSQL,
MySQL and Postgresql are beginning to out price it BIG time. Many of these
DBs are beginning to add features to their feature lists that equal Oracles.
Am I the only one who is wondering if re-skilling now while I can and still
have a job, should be a serious consideration for this years career
planning?
Please share your views. I would love to hear how some of you feel on this
subject.
Regards
Denham Eva
