Sharing Experiences: From PHP Developer to Oracle DBA

Hi Friends,

Today I would like to share my 1^st Company real experiences as I promised with you all in my previous post.

I am sharing these experiences because I have learnt many things and I want you people to learn from these experiences. At that time, no one was to tell or guide me. So, I don’t want you people to suffer.

When I came to Bangalore here nobody was to guide me. And there was only one thing in my mind that: I have to get job any how: Here any how means without giving money to anyone either to broker or any consultancy. Because we all know, our parents already have expenses money a lot on study and again we can’t ask money for job also.

In my earlier post: How to get job and what we should do: I have shared my experiences about getting a job.

Today also I remembered, 19^th September 2012 at evening time, I was just sitting with my friends and chatting then I got a call that I am selected. After that call, I was very Happy, hope you can feel that moment and feeling.

This same thing happened with me, and then I decided to join company.

Now what happened in company:  In starting they told as there are many projects and they will allow me on project after 2-3 months. But later on I came to know there is nothing much work. For some times, I worked for php and sql/plsql but later on no work. They start to assign work like data entry and advertisements work. It was very irritating. Usually I used to be there from 9:00 am to 9, 10 or 11:00 pm just because for good impression, but it was foolish, please and please never do like this. It is very bad things in life.

Later on I met a new my PG mate, he did not know any languages like C, C++, java, .Net etc... He only knew Oracle technology. And he was working in MNC. He explained me about Oracle; he gave me many documents for oracle. 

And then I started to learn. He guided me and helped me out that time.

Now my mind opened and I decided to learn Oracle technology, which I was inspired by my ex- company MD already because he was an oracle architect. But he told me he don’t have time to teach me. So I decided to resign from company.

Later on I joined a consultancy for Oracle learning after quitting 1st job. I learned oracle database and application in 6 month. Then I worked next 6 month on project in very little salary. But I did that project because there was learning for me. It’s true that company earned lots from me :D.

After that I joined another company with a good salary and started my carrier as Oracle Apps DBA. After 1 year again I got new opportunity in Oracle Company, which was my dream.

One thing remembers, We all everyone require good adviser from experienced person. I’m telling this because when I was in college and joined a Training institutes, they told there is no carrier in DBAs in the market because almost companies have 1 or 2 DBAs. But it was not true.

Remember: If you don’t have any Dream other people will use you to complete their dream.
