Has Oracle just become a stepping stone for a better job somewhere else?
It certainly feels like it lately, considering how many people are starting here and then leaving very soon after.
Not that I'm blaming anybody for leaving this place, I'm just curious if this is the case.
A lot of us in Austin think it is a great start!
It's bad to have oracle on your resume. I had a recruiter laugh at me because I was at Oracle. It's known as the "country club". Honestly, anything you say you accomplished at Oracle is considered a joke at other places. There is no reason to ever see Oracle as a stepping stone to anywhere. Oracle is mostly a repository of older people who don't want to do anything with their careers other than have a secure paycheck and nothing much to do.
That is how you should treat every job.
Aside from you ascending the ladder progressively, 2-4 years exit strategy should be in place for any job.
orcl is a curse. get something above it on your linked in or resume asap. you've been warned.
