Technical Analyst 4-Support is an IC1 job. It's pretty much equivalent to Associate TSE, but the latter title is typically assigned to HUB.

Considering that Oracle laid off or is about to lay off all support staff in Europe (except Romania), they will be left with 0 (zero) experienced support engineers except a handful in Romania. They will need to be brought up to third level support (L2), which nearly nobody there can do, and they will need to not be burdened by simple cases.

That all means Oracle need as many people as possible just to push paper around. That's why there's hiring in East Coast (cover as much of EMEA as possible within local business hours, perhaps with some overlap with India).

In short, yes, it's going to be a disaster. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

This is a support job. The products have to continue to be supported until they reach end of service life.
