Hallo Uwe,

IC5 means Individual Contributor 5 at Oracle, not International Career level. IC = Individual contributor, M = Manager.
#7 by Uwe Hesse on June 15, 2011 - 17:46
Let me guess: You are from Oracle HR, right? 🙂

I thought IC6 the highest level in Oracle for Individual Contributor?
#9 by Uwe Hesse on July 27, 2011 - 03:07
Maybe, but not in my Line of Business – at Oracle University, it stops at IC5. And even those are hard to find; not sure I ever met an IC6 in other LOBs 🙂

Hi, I have about four years of working experience with oracle databases 8i,9i and 10g with a bank – I would like to become an oracle faculty member like you – what should i do for that
#11 by Uwe Hesse on June 3, 2012 - 08:40
Hi, you may try jobs.oracle.com and/or apply at the Oracle HQ in your country to become an Oracle University Instructor. Apart from the required qualifications that you may or may not fulfill, chances are very limited to get hired. I see no vacancies for OU Instructors worldwide, unfortunately…

So, IC5 is like a black-belt in Oracle Corp, right 😉
#13 by Uwe Hesse on September 18, 2012 - 15:38
More or less that is true, regarding this quote: “By reaching Black Belt level, one had, in fact, completed only the necessary requirements to embark upon a relentless journey without distance that would ultimately result in self-mastery.” from http://www.gojuryu.net/articles.php?article_id=43
Thanks for stopping by, Tanel 🙂
