Java developer VS Oracle developer/DBA - which is more promising?

Question

Career in IT

Good afternoon!
I ask you for advice on choosing a life path.
At the university, he studied as a security officer (more organizational than IT), worked in a relatively large company that collapsed. There is experience in functional programming + optimization of queries to the Oracle database + BI (more) and experience in C ++ Qt (less). Attracts Java, but there is no practical knowledge on it.
Technology selection criteria in descending order:
1) RFP - more - better;
2) Widespread and low project specificity of the technology, so that it would be possible to move to another company for the same position without spending much effort;
3) Prospects for the transition to related emerging technologies, the need for which is growing rapidly.
At the moment, they are ready to take me:
Employer 1 - Full stack junior Java developer (this office does not use frameworks for writing web applications, so I'm in doubt)
Employer 2 - Oracle/Postgres DBA. They also offered the position of an information security specialist and a DevOps engineer (there is a whole DevOps department here - it seems like a plus for organizing development).
They offer the same money.
What do you think about this, where to go?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

DBA is more boring than programming so the choice is obvious

Answer 2

What you will be a cooler specialist in, and where you will be able to find the best vacancy.
DBA - need much less. Time in 1000 than developers.
And the work is not so diverse.

Answer 3

Do not go to the second office, with your experience, the position of "Director Jenkins" will shine for you at most. A department can be considered 2-3 employees.

Answer 4

1) ZP - more - better;
Not particularly defined by technology. In this case, it's about the same.
Java wins. DBA still has limited applicability.
And here and there, no one will stop you from jumping to fashionable Scala or NewSQL solutions.
It's alarming, in fact, the name "Full stack junior Java developer" - a full stack in this context - what is it - Java, Javascript and coffee to cook for the director?
The second office is ready to offer a bunch of options to yesterday's student - also not a very good sign.
In total, look at the conditions in both companies (do they throw money, which office and tede) and go where it is more interesting. It won't be too late for you to switch to something else.
