Hi all,
I need your help/advice in shaping up my career. I have 3+ yrs of experience in Backend Pl/Sql Development+Query Tuning Experience and I am a 9i Developer OCP + 9i DBA OCP. Now I want to become a full time Oracle DBA.
My plan, as of now, is :
- To do additional certifications (like 10g OCP Upgrade Exam)
- Join some company as a Junior Oracle DBA and gain valuable Real time DBA work experience.
1) Kindly please advice me regarding whether this plan is right/valid.
2) Also I am worried regarding whether there will be growth in DBA field. In other words, 10 years from now, Will I still be a DBA or Is it possible to move into management line like DBA Manager etc...Kindly please help me.
Regards,
Dinesh |

Hi,
DBA future is very good in Market. Your Decision is good. Rather than joining in some other new compnay as Junior, why don't you ask in your present company for change.

Hi ,
Thanks for your kind reply. Actually I am now in Singapore and I am working in Citigroup as a Vendor. If I had been a permanent employee in Citigroup, then I can request them for a job change to DBA. Since I am a vendor here, they do not entertain such requests within Citigroup. So this is my exact problem. If you have any references in Singapore, kindly please provide me so that it will be useful for me.
