And what is DBA? DB analyst/admin/assistant? or a PhD equivalent of MBA? Or dibutylamine? $1800 per 60kg (assuming the girl is not too heavy) is more less the right price for the last one

Oops .. DBA -> Data Base Administrator ..

v4jr4: FT

revhappy: On a DP - but .. still at that rate, that was a shocker ... and nationality -> no comments

I am sufficiently IT I think but I guess admin and analysts are rather different roles professionally or not? (the rest was more of a teasing)

I've seen so much mix and match and overlap with IT titles that I ignore the last word, be it Admin, Analyst, Engineer, Specialist. They all do the same crap mostly

And "Sr." is almost exclusively resume embellishment

Hell, way back when I even used that argument during a review to get a promotion. (Make me Sr. xxxx analyst. 'Why?' Resume embellishment. 'Ok.')

It isnt as bad as the titles for real estate agents though. I saw an agent's pamphlet with a title "Team Director", lol
