I am a senior Oracle DBA, who has hit the glass ceiling. I can't progress any further, as I am already paid at or near top dollar for my job.
I have the right experience and ability to do design and technical architect work, but am in the old problem, no job no experience, no experience no job.
In these difficult times, what strategies would you adopt to be able to move onwards and upwards. I know that certs always look good, but after 15 years in the game, they seem a bit superfluous. If I can't do the job now then I never will.
What other career paths should I pursue?
So, any bright ideas?
Regards
