I am in the Fort Wayne area, but more than willing to relocate pretty much anywhere for a good fitting role. Unfortunately, many jobs simply will not provide relocation these days, even if you are willing.<p>I would be happy to work more as a DBA, and already have done some work in that capacity on a consulting project that focused heavily on SQLAlchemy and some database metaprogramming.<p>Unfortunately, my flexibility on the topical nature of my next job has not helped me much. Everywhere I interview still wants to hire people who fundamentally cut corners and de-prioritize quality, all while working for reduced wage and unacceptable benefits.<p>In all of my job searching, the only consistent thing I&#x27;ve seen is that companies want to enforce downward pressure on wages and benefits. It does not seem to matter how much quality degrades or how much market share they need to give up, so long as wages do not grow in any manner proportional to the value that a person&#x27;s skills or experience can add.
