If it is at the same level, the Java engineer's salary will be higher, the development prospects will be greater, mainly because the scalable surface of the DBA is not as wide as the java development, the DBA is still mainly centered around the database, and java as a development tool can realize the DBA can do, but also can realize the DBA can not do, development is directly facing the needs and customers, while the DBA is more inclined to the data management, so in the current situation, the java development is a good idea. Development is directly in the face of demand and customer, and DBA is more inclined to the management of data, so the current situation, java development is more advantageous, and java oriented Android development, page visual interaction, etc. are constantly updated technology.

The current employment environment and recruitment information, but also java engineers are more popular some of the enterprises want to choose is comprehensive, understand the development at the same time know some database, and rarely to simply recruit a pure DBA.

I hope this can help you!
