Thank god we also have some very experienced unix admins & dba's because otherwise i'd go crazy
Funny part is , everytime we try to hire people they either leave after a year or nobody wants to start ... and that during economic crisis .. Very odd  |
Yeah I wear many Data Warehousing hats too! Data warehousing is still a 'hot' field, and here in the US, anyway, so is anyone with Teradata skills. Guys like us have options, even in a recession. Look at 'em cross-eyed, and they will move on.
Me? I'm close enough to retirement that job stability is far more important than, well, anything else. So I stick around, and everytime some kid gets his knickers all bunched up and leaves, management gives me a raise (well, almost every time!). Though I am pretty sick of training someone just to have them move on.
