Hi List,

    I've been reading a lot about remote DBA services, these appear to be
companies based on different locations that provide customers with DBA
services while having all the DBAs physically in one location (or a limited
number of locations). These services are usually hired by companies whose
primary focus isn't IT.

    My question now is...would this work in reverse? Having several DBAs
working out of their own homes in whatever city or country they want for a
single company (or for one of the remote DBA services)? I understand the
complexities of having people without Green Cards or working VISAS working
for US based companies, even if they are now physically in the US.

    This one may be for recruiters or decision makers: Would you hire
somebody you've never met (or met only by phone) who lives in another
country (worst case) and whose experience you can't verify if they asked for
half of what an on-site DBA would?

Thanks in advance
Alan.-
