So last night, on my home box, I replace my old pair of displays (not even matched, only the vertical resolution was the same) with a shiny new 4K 28" display.
Now I think I'm going to need to play with increasing the font size and playing with the scaling...
My eyes are getting old.
The rest of me isn't!
No, can't be...
I'm still a youngster...
Right?

I realize this post should probably be under "Jobs" but I thought I'd give the dedicated denizens of the thread first crack at it.
Any "hybrid" DBAs that have a good handle on being a combination of a "Sr. System DBA" (including security, of course), "Sr. Database Developer", and having some really good knowledge of how to find and fix performance challenged code that want to work as a direct hire FTE near the MS offices in Southfield, MI? The pay and the environment are good and I know the boss lady. She's awesome to work for (I was a consultant), knows more about SQL Server and T_SQL than anyone we've interviewed (she's a smart beginner so you've gotta know that the people we've interviewed are mostly ignorant) and she's looking for a direct hire FTE that loves both sides of SQL Server.
This is mostly NOT a telecommute job. Here's the job description which, of course, is an overview/wishlist. I'm not at liberty to describe the pay range in public but if you're good, it's good. Really not looking for wanna-bees or skaters here. Looking for true Sr. folks that have excellent knowledge of both sides of the house.
[font="Arial Black"]Position Title: Senior Database Administrator[/font]
Position Summary:
This is a combination MS SQL Server DBA and Application DBA role largely responsible for providing operational database services to the organization. We are looking to fill a need to have a highly competent and highly motivated individual in this role. This is a production and development DBA role, as such it will require a commitment on your part as well as ours. Some of the primary responsibilities of this role would include owning, tracking and resolving database related incidents and requests, fulfilling requests and resolving incidents within SLAs, reviewing service related reports (e.g.: database backups, maintenance, monitoring) on a daily basis to ensure service related issues are identified and resolved within established SLAs, responding to database related alerts and escalations and working with the Infrastructure Group to come up with strategic solutions to recurring problems.
The Systems DBA part of the role requires a service oriented mentality, high sense of ownership of the problems and requests assigned, focus on managing and resolving issues in alignment with the SLAs, establishing and maintaining communication with technology customers to keep them updated with status of their requests, initiating and performing changes on production systems, and proactively escalating any issues that cannot be resolved within the established timeframes.
The position also requires that attention of an Application DBA that will participate in design decisions, enforce company standards and best practices, and mentor Developers through 100% code reviews, individual training, group training, and ad hoc discussion as the need arises. This position also requires the occasional development of project code and documentation to support the databases and our customers.
This role requires excellent communication and documentation skills. If you have a blog then please pass along the URL so we can review your work. If you do not actively blog that is fine, but you should be prepared to show us an example of something you have written previously if we should happen to ask.
Position Requirements:
We are looking for a person that has:
•Strong experience with Database Administration for MSSQL Server.
•Extremely strong knowledge of T-SQL, database design, and the related best practices.
•Strong experience with backups, restores and recovery models including automated and manual restores from production to test and development environments.
•Strong knowledge of indexes, index management, and statistics.
•Strong knowledge of security best practices including but not limited to the prevention of SQL Injection, Command Line Injection, and the secure deployment and use of xp_CmdShell.
•Experience in troubleshooting and resolving database problems.
•Experience in Performance Tuning and Optimization (PTO) using native monitoring and troubleshooting tools including but not limited to analysis of execution plans.
•Knowledge of High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) options for MSSQL Server.
•Experience in developing and implementing operational automation using scripts, stored procedures, and Maintenance Plans.
•Ability to teach best practices and optimal methods to Developers and Data Architects during code reviews and other teaching opportunities.
•Excellent communication and documentation skills.
Preferred candidates would also meet the following criteria:
•Involvement with the MSSQL Server Community; membership in PASS, active in forums or newsgroups.
•Certification is a plus but is absolutely not required if you can do the work.
•Previous experience in either a teaching or volunteer role (SQLSaturdays count!).
•Experience with SOX, ISO, and SEC compliance.

I know what you mean, Brandie. It is cool that they're looking for PASS membership and activity in the community. I don't think I have to wonder too much where that came from. 😉
It does sound like a great job. I think you're in Florida, aren't you? Michigan would be quite an adjustment for you as far as whether is concerned.
As for me, it does sound great and I do live in the area. In fact, I've been to that building many times. I'd be all over it if I wasn't so happy in my current job.

Yes, I live in Florida, but I grew up in the Midwest. It might take me a few years to reacclimatize to the cold itself, but the weather I remember well and would have no issues with.

A couple of updates on the Brandie front.I've been accepted for a MBA program and start my first class in a week+. Wish me luck.
I'm getting paperwork drawn up to start my own LLC and do some independent publishing. It'll start off with a few of my own works, reprinted, to verify what the heck I'm doing.
And I posted about my computer issue on TechNet if anyone would like to pile on. I see I have one response, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Any additional comments would be appreciated.
Fun stuff in my future and my now. Crossing fingers that it all goes well.
EDIT: Changed link.
Brandie,
Congrats on the MBA, and good luck!
Cool on the independent publishing as well.
Cheers,

I realize this post should probably be under "Jobs" but I thought I'd give the dedicated denizens of the thread first crack at it.Any "hybrid" DBAs that have a good handle on being a combination of a "Sr. System DBA" (including security, of course), "Sr. Database Developer", and having some really good knowledge of how to find and fix performance challenged code that want to work as a direct hire FTE near the MS offices in Southfield, MI? The pay and the environment are good and I know the boss lady. She's awesome to work for (I was a consultant), knows more about SQL Server and T_SQL than anyone we've interviewed (she's a smart beginner so you've gotta know that the people we've interviewed are mostly ignorant) and she's looking for a direct hire FTE that loves both sides of SQL Server.
This is mostly NOT a telecommute job. Here's the job description which, of course, is an overview/wishlist. I'm not at liberty to describe the pay range in public but if you're good, it's good. Really not looking for wanna-bees or skaters here. Looking for true Sr. folks that have excellent knowledge of both sides of the house.

Do you think it is worth writing an article / blog on how you have used a particular feature (in SQL Server) to help you in your day to day operations even though it is not a new concept?Would that be interesting to read?
Late, but always. For anything you think is simple or well known, it isn't. We have new people picking up SQL Server for the first time every day.

Stuck next to Steve on a train across the uk. He's a seat hog.
