Oracle charges for such guys 250-350 an hour and pay them 50-90K/year
(15-20% bonus and 4 weeks of training per year). I would say that Oracle DBA
knowing what he or she is doing can make more money in consulting.

PS. It would be very useful if US participants of this list post their
rates or salaries on www.realrates.com - it is fully anonimous. Also there
is very interesting contractors BBS

Yosi,
I interviewed for one of those jobs here in Boston, MA. Although there
was
one VERY good individual in the bunch I was a little perplexed by the
others.
Most were very junior and had not been in an outside shop before, one was
straight out of school and bootcamp and only one had done a real recovery.
It
also hit me as strange that other than the smart guy, none of them had ever
created a database from scratch. Thankfully I did not take the job.

>From experience, I have used consultants from Oracle. The 1st one sent was
right out of DBA school. We sent him back after 1 week. At that time,
Oracle
didn't allow you to interview their DBA's. According to Oracle, they were
all
good. The 2nd DBA Oracle sent had only NT experience, never been on a Unix
machine. Ok, sent him back too. By this time, we were about to give up,
then
Oracle sent DBA #3 and she was sharp. The moral of the story, Oracle will
send
the juniors 1st b/c they save the good ones for the 3rd strike :)

I was once one of those superior i-dba consultants. I was pretty good,
and as with this list, some of my colleagues were amazingly talented,
knowledgable and great to work with. Others were, well, others.
It's lots of fun to ridicule, disparage, deride, belittle, and mock
Oracle Consulting, and don't even get me started about Oracle Support,
and I do this all the time too, I just want to put in a good word
for SOME of my old friends.
Have a great weekend.
