Now THAT you can outsource Wicked cheap.

I have a PhD CS, Oracle DB admin I pay 11 bucks an hour in the Philippines.

If we were doing any more Oracle stuff I'd hit you up. But as it is most of the folks I do work with canned Oracle in favor of MS's DB and or postgresql.

I'm not usually a fan of outsourcing. But in this case, we have an office in the philippines already, and we do our data processing there. Just felt natural to have the DB co-located there and get an DB admin on site there.

I can absolutely grok that! I've done outsource programming at a couple of previous companies. And have also watched "comptetive" products appear out of nowhere that were surprisingly similar... Any mathematicians here?

I used to do a LOT of mathematics in my old job. But that was like 5 years ago.

Um, errrr, "Swing and a miss!"

Take off the serious glasses and put on the jaded glasses.

Hey Code, would you hire me? I have 3 1/2 years switch/router software developement on leading edge devices. Worked on many areas including layer 2, driver level software, microcode, MPLS type services. I'm not a BGP OSPF guru, but i can become one quickly

There will always be some IT jobs.

I work in IT. I have a Masters in Telecommunications.. I took classes on web design, Data Base Admin, etc.. I now specialize in business intelligence..a fancy way of saying reporting. I could get a job almost anywhere with my formal education and experience. (5+ yrs at a fortune 500 company).

One of the interview tests involves hacking layer 2 to get access to servers behind a switch.
Think you can do it?

But honestly, I'm not looking for a guru of BGP/OSPF, just someone who knows the ins and outs of it. Knows the peering layers really well.

I've hired 3 IT managers/directors in the last few years. I tell them each the same thing. You and your organization are OVERHEAD. At any point you forget that, you're fired. If anyone under you forgets that, they're fired, followed by you for not enforcing that.

IT departments that suddenly crop up as the know it all policy creation unit drives me insane. Taking the lowest common denominator knowledge and having them make coporate wide policy based on their unwillingness to do the work they're paid to do is counterproductive to a corporation.

I'm in IT and I am trying to jump to a line division ASAP for that exact reason.

We are in the same category as support services (ie maintenance and custodial workers).

thats a pretty general description of a challenge. Is there authentication? tagged VLANs? learn security?
