    Hi everyone,

    I am new here but not new to SQL Server, worked in a mix of DBA/Developer/Architect role until I recently got laid off.

    I am planning to relocate to the NYC area for personal reasons. Wondering what the job market there is like? They say good DBAs are needed everywhere but I am wondering if NYC is a tough market because there are so many people living there (competition)? Thanks in advance to anyone out there who knows!

    Does it really matter? It sounds like you're going to make the move no matter what the job market is.

    If I were in such a position, Step 1 for me would be to sharpen up my resume. Step 2 would be to get on the internet and contact every recruiting agency I could find especially those that advertise being "IT-centric".

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
