I know this is a wish list, but the reality is even someone with 20 years development experience will not cover anywhere near the requirements, out of all of the list what is the essential requirements and whats nice to have. Just as an example this:

SQL experience with exposure to Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL / MariaDB etc including their programmatic extensions as well as NoSQL databases such as MongoDB, Cassandra.

I'm a senior DBA to trade and worked in database technology since 1997. You will either get someone that can work very well in 1 or 2 of these products orcan do the bare minimum in all of them. Add in all the other technology and to fulfill the wish list you'd be looking at a fairly hefty salary requirement.

[slow_poke]

Yeah, fairly hefty salary requirements for more than 2 resources, that's for sure.

edc, did someone give you a list of desirables, or do you really not understand what you're looking for? Or you do, and expect to actually find it?

Good luck with your search, but those aren't grad/junior roles you're describing.

These are wish lists / job descriptions written by one of my IT Development managers

You see, it's not agency recruiters or HR folks that write things like this

The reality is this is the environment and technologies currently in use within the team. From a technical perspective somebody who can do it all would be great but the reality is for a junior role you probably won't have worked with half of them. The most important thing is attitude and willingness to learn. If you don't know it research it, show an understanding and be prepared to have a go and work with the existing team. The existing team didn't use or know all of the above when joining but over time between them they cover all the bases.

From a technical perspective somebody who can do it all would be great but the reality is for a junior role you probably won't have worked with half a fraction of them. The most important thing is attitude and willingness to learn. If you don't know it research it, show an understanding and be prepared to have a go and work with the existing team.

Show me a department that uses all of the DB technologies you have listed and I will show you the person (cant even call them a DB Admin) you should fire for being a moron and playing with tech.

What actual tech and languages do you use?

Its ads like this that would get my hopes up and then when I get on site I find that someone was doing BS bingo with key words and the site is:

MVC/ASP.Net
SQL Server
JS/CSS/JQuery

All would be 3-4 years out of date with the current tech and they just wanted someone but didnt know who.

[mikyccity]

Separate essential and desirable skills.

What is the salary benchmark?

I can think of somewhere with all of them and more in use, with the exception (to my non-exhaustive knowledge) of the Microsoft option. Reasonably so too. But yes, these places are relatively few and far between and you don't expect the same person to work on all of them.

I can tick most of the points off. £600/day, minimum 90% working from home please.

To be perfectly frank I don't know whether they are all being used or not and I don't need to know! If I had to know all of the technologies being used not just in various IT development teams, let's not forget they are just one technical function of the business, I would never get any real work done

In any case the wish list doesn't ask for lengthy experience in all of the DB stuff but gives examples of the DB you might have exposure too.
