How good is a career as a Database Administrator?

I am going to start my career with TCS and am very adamant in doing some sort of certification before joining, I am confused between CCNA and Oracle certified Database administrator, though I know both are totally different. What will be the best as per salary hikes?

  • Answer:

    Mostly, these certifications don't matter. They MAY matter at the time of Initial Learning Program (where based on certifications they'll slot you into a fancy 'Advanced ILP'). After that, it really depends on what project you get. You may specialize in tech/domain A but you get allocated to a project which uses B. If you're lucky, you may get to use your knowledge (of networking/databases, etc) in your project. But having a certificate itself does not really guarantee a salary hike. Salary hike, etc depend on your performance in a project, your duration with the company, your designation change (promotions, etc). So all the best with TCS! (:
