European Oracle jobs

| I'm living in France at the moment. I'm OCP DBA 8 + MCSE2000.
Junior DBA jobs and Junior Oracle Developer programming jobs here are rare and salaries are ridiculous.
Standard salary for entry Oracle jobs in France (according to my research, interviews, etc.): US$10500..US$16000 per year max, with monthly salary around US$850 ... RIDICULOUS
I feel bad when I read posts from US guys saying ... "Hey, I am 24 and I'm making $35000/year, I'm an underpaid A+ CCNA MCP professional that's all, no degree"
Here in my country, A+ N+ etc. are nothing... CCNA is nothing (most networking jobs: CCNP or higher required with 4 years experience or more) MCP is nothing (and MCSE2000 is HIGHLY undervalued)... Oracle cert is OK, recognized, but salary is very poor
Lots of temp jobs but I hate temp jobs... and imagine the salaries on those temp jobs... RIDICULOUS, laughable
I think I wasted a lot of money on the MCSE because employers here (some interviews) don't care about my MCSE... really, it's a shame, they only care about:
#1 your degrees
#2 experience
#3 major certs (OCP, CCNP, SCJP, SCSA, etc.)... MCSE highly undervalued and MCSA is "unknown" here
Lots of job offers for SAP people... with salaries around $18000/year but SAP is too big, and obscure. I purchased one of those "Teach yourself SAP Administration"... horrible, complex, too many different modules and stuff. I have 0 experience with SAP, so SAP jobs are not for me
I would like to know if this IT job salary scenario is similar in other European countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, etc.) | |

| Salaries are good in London. The market is a bit dead right now but the salaries are ok. My wife started her first MCSE job last year with a starting salary of 24,000GBP p/a and most Junior DBA jobs (up to one year experience) pay around the same. | |

| Hi all,
interesting thread 
Which salary do you all provide? Is it before or after taxes/social security? In Austria these deductions are about 30 - 40 % of a monthly salary (depending on the salary). If you negotiate a monthly salary of 3.200 EUR you get transfered only 2.150 EUR - 14 times a year.
Job situation here gets better and better every week. I get 5-8 job ads per week from www.jobpilot.com - mostly developers or junior DBA positions. But you need also Java, C++, Perl .... skills  - my weakest point. At least Unix AND WinNT/2000/NET.
Very few senior positions (I assume they are provided by personell consultants). But its a "buyers" market actually - not as good salaries as 1-2 years ago. | |

Fcking hell, what company are you working for?..mine is shite for what I do.
I did a salary comparison the other week with some job site and apparently I am earning £15-20k less than what I should be |
