Where are the jobs in San Diego?

[Coronita]

I posted this awhile ago… If you’re willing to venture outside of san diego, there’s a few opportunities that came up in Washington state one with a big firm, and something else with a bigger firm (recent). Good firms that I would bite if there was higher level of responsibility.

Let me know if you want the recruiter’s contact.

I work remotely most of the time from SD, so I’m not quite in tune with all the immediate dynamics of the local SD markets…Unfortunately, the opportunity hirings from outside SD all have *not* been telecomuting friendly. (I was grandfathered in, and sort of to pull this off, you have to build a trustworthy rep over a longer period of time).

Some buddies of mine tell me two bigger firms just did some “right-sizing” over the past two weeks, so over the next two weeks, they’ll probably be a flood of resumes circulating the markets.

My advice…If you are unemployed and if you don’t have a family or mortgage to worry about, take any leads you get in the west coast. You can always turn remote offers down when something better comes up. Technically, I’ve been “on the market” for the past 5 years. But i haven’t found anything better here that pays comparable to what I have now and gives me the level of responsibility/flexibility.

There are two contract positions for EAI work locally at two telco companies I know. I think the duration is 3 months. But the prequisite is you must be familiar with the packaged app they are using (I think it was either tibco or software ag, i forget).

It would help to know what type of DB work (Oracle? MS? MySQL..). Is it only db admin or have you done software dev.? I know one shop that uses DB people, but only a specific DB.. and you would need to get a clearance.

There is one other company that contacted me in the past called activenetwork (activenetwork.com) located in SD. I believe they might have a few openings specifically for DB folks. Let me know if you need a recruiter’s contact. I believe they are private and are in their 5th-6th round of funding and close to profitable (could be wrong though).

The private insurance company ICW was hiring for awhile if that’s your cup of tea. Not sure though. You could check them out. I have the contact of a recruiter from there and know a few people that might still work there.

Last comment. Have you considered expanding your skillset?

The thing is, with all due respect, in this economy, the limited hirings are being done in smaller/private companies…Usually, they are demonstrating POC’s…These days don’t start off the bat needing a DB guru. Most of the V0.X/V1.X offerings just need to get a proof of concept off the ground, they usually start out using ORM toolsets which does the data model to relational DB mappings for you trading off efficiency for implementation speed. JPA and RubyOnRails are just a few of some the directions some of these small players are doing to save on implementation time.
