Have been an Oracle DBA for the last 14 years. Same job for the last 9 years. Experience has become stale, where any new jobs I’m applying for are asking for way advanced experience than I have. What kind of role can I pivot to. What kind of certifications would help me move to that role? Any insight would be helpful.
Or if you like working with data, switch to Date Engineering role. It is very similar, but a little more challenging and not so repetitive. Try to look for ML Data Engineering teams. You know sql already, just learn Python. Knowing cloud, esp AWS services would be a huge plus.
I’m pretty much stuck in the same boat as you. 11 years here as core oracle dba with a bit of postgres. With the variety of Cloud exposure in the market, its kinda exhausting to have a coherent understanding on other rdbms , nosql databases other than oracle.
The problem is. My company doesn’t use sql server or anything other than oracle. On top of that, we don’t use rac, dataguard, asm, golden gate, or exadata. Forget cloud experience either. I’m thinking of getting the basic aws certification and then looking into solutions architect associate certification. See where that leads me.
SRE. I was an Oracle dba for 14 yrs before I pivoted

Become an AWS solution architect, learn some python/sysadmin/ci/cd/jenkins/sre stuff.
Thank you. This is the path that has been suggested by friends. One leading me towards a cyber security path. And one leading towards solutions architect
