Have you realistically considered your age? :-) I mean does it really make sence to switch from developer to DBA (still support),
when probably it is good idea to think about Team Leader position etc?

I mean if you are 40 and still DBA (Senior, with 15 years experience) - are you still on the market
or is it a sunset? Received on Mon Dec 06 2004 - 00:14:02 CST
