Career Growth for a DBA

  • Hi,

    What is the career ladder that a DBA can take - like one starts as jr. dba, mid dba, sr dba, then what can they opt for?

    Also can a DBA get into BPM (business process modeling/management) careers. What are the various BPM career options.

    Thanks,

    Natalie.

  • Answering for your first question, the next step can be a company CTO. I know some CTO's who have grown from senior DBA.

  • Here is another thread on this subject. Check it out.

    Career Advice...what is next after SR SQL DBA ?

  • The same as any IT position - either go to the business side and become a project leader, DBA manager, operation director, VP of IT, CIO .....

    or remain technical but learn other skills too, for example business intelligence, data architect...

    sky is the limit!!!!!!:P

  • Oh! I forget one more choice - marry a rich guy and stay home!!!!!!

    That is my dream goal!!!!!!;)

  • Thank you all for the responses.
