Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Financials Sys Admin. Needed in South Carolina
i rather suspect you are right Don .... considering that
Oracle 9i was released when ? summer of 2001 ? how can
one have 2 years of experience on 9i ? they probably meant
to say 2 years of Oracle DBA experience or something to
that effect , but have no idea what the hell that means
anyway. also , the 9i certification program just started
a last fall so unless you are upgrading from a previous
certification i doubt anyone has completly finished this
process.
oh well , were just dba's , what the hell do we know anyway ?
Peace !
Mike

Something is horribly wrong with that calculator! From San Francisco or Manhattan to some small town in western Nebraska, salaries for DBAs only vary about 15-30%. These posts from OraStaff always seem to be for low-paying jobs, wanting significant experience in a number of technologies, demanding long tenure, no H1B, no relocation, ad nauseum...
Of course, Monster, Dice, et cetera aren't much better. They are dominated by headhunters mindessly spewing out tens of thousands of "opportunities" each. In my opinion, the only "opportunity" in the vast majority of them is for the recruiter to make a commission. I saw several recently that "absolutely required" two years production experience with Oracle9i and Oracle9i certification. Four different recruiters here in town called me about one of these positions - with exactly the same requirements as the web site(s). If that isn't *totally* clueless, then what might be? I tried to explain to them that anyone who said they were "qualified" should be disqualified - as blatantly dishonest.

As evidence of this, HomeFair.com's salary calculator says a salary of $100,000 in Manhattan is equivalent to $32,000 in Spartanburg. Doubt this is accurate to the penny, but if even close it sounds like $75K has you living like a king (or queen) in Spartanburg.

Geographic region affects pay scale just as much as years of experience, I think. Especially on the extreme ends of the scale such as a small town in a rural region or say Manhattan or San Fransisco.
I think it's very difficult to judge pay scales in areas where you haven't been monitoring the job market for a while. It's like comparing apples and oranges because there are too many variables.
My two cents.

I'm wondering what "frequent" means...? Am I the only one that thinks the pay scale is a bit low, with this caveat? To me, the paradigm seems to be the new guys out there change jobs frequently, for better money and experience and then, a bit later on, they find a place that appreciates them for who they are, pays them what they are worth and doesn't want to let them go. Granted, the current economic downturn may have changed that picture a bit...
With what they are offering in pay, I'm not sure they will find anyone with any long term experience.
What does anyone else think?
