NDT

It was a bit of both.

I informed them of the certification completion and that I wanted to take on more changeling roles. The discussion went on for a while; I started getting a feeling money was not going to be part of our chat, so I raised the issue. They did not have a problem matching my requested increase in salary as they new I could be charged out at a higher rate. Keep in mind NT Server was just starting to make head way then and a MCSE was a rare commodity.

From what I understand, their still is a big demand for Oracle people within consulting companies.

If you visit some of the Government Bid sites for consultants/contractors many are asking for Oracle as a skill.

Here are a couple of URLs from BC:

By the way, which company are you with and are you doing Oracle DBA work now?
