Great survey results!
An eye-opener for all Oracle certification candidates!
It certainly does pay to get certified!

The links on the referring page dont work. You will get a javascript error:
Line:43
Char: 2
Error: 'i' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=305&p_nl=namer
I tested in IE and FF and tried in all country options and get the same thing for all of them.

Paul -
I tried the links you posted - both the BITLY and full link in multiple browsers and cannot access the report. The links bring me to the country select page and none of the region links open the report.
Thanks.

Ah, am learning something new every day (thanks Shartel) - word has it that this might just simply be a cookie issue: when you get to the country select page, select your country and I believe that you will be taken to the Certification home page -- from there you should be able to access the survey results by clicking on center button at the very bottom of the page - "View the Results Oracle Certification Salary Survey 2009."

surely that is BS? I got certified and didn't get anything more... and I took part in that survey... but then I am going to change jobs, ditch oracle and get paid more just for what I did before that anyway... so maybe it was just my employer...

Every link on that page refers to the current page - i.e. you can't see any results

Sorry to hear that Hari - I agree that there are other factors too that can affect salary. So I'll encourage you to continue using your certification as a bragging point - many are benefitting from the certification and I hope to see you gain the benefits as well!
