I'm applying for jobs currently and I really cannot bring myself to join some company if their stated goal for the next couple person-decades of engineering is to work really hard to get data out of an RDBMS into a bunch of different key-value stores so they can rent overpriced commodity hardware to talk to the key-value stores instead of buying slightly more expensive hardware (I mean more expensive per machine, but less expensive per web site) to host the RDMBS and skipping all the work. For their low-traffic web site. And these jobs are a surprisingly high portion of backend positions out there.
