I am asking this question here since there isn't a lounge type forum to ask.
I am planning to move to Sydney (or Melbourne) in Australia end of this year.
I am an Oracle Forms and PL/SQL Developer.
My friends who were also Oracle Forms and PL/SQL developers (who migrated to Australian few year back) are all doing different things like BA, QA testing, App support, DW etc. Only 1 of my friends is doing PL/SQL work in Melbourne.
I am being told that Oracle Forms is virtually non-existent in Australia and is basically obsolete, but still there are very few opportunities for PL/SQL developers.
What is the best strategy for me? I want to do a couple of certifications which will make me more valuable.
What do you think I should take?
(1.) Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite 11g Certified Implementation Specialist
(2.) Oracle Data Warehousing 11g Certified Implementation Specialist
I have OCP (Forms and PL/SQL) which I did in 2000. I don't think I should get re-certified in PL/SQL (by doing Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Certified Professional OR Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate exams). Instead maybe I can do something else which can complement what I already have???
Any advice from Australian forum members would be highly appreciated.
