I've noticed two trends recently, which I believe impact what a PL/SQL Developer should learn:
1. With databases being moved to the cloud, there is less need for DBAs and the remaining DBA work is often being pushed onto developers so having some familiarity with DBA work is beneficial.
2. Most companies are now running two or more database platforms (e.g. where I work is predominately Oracle but there are a few SQL Server databases) so having knowledge of another database system is beneficial.

Long Live the PL/SQL developers
PL/SQL is still very much active in legacy institutions like Government. They do not change easily. They work very slow.
Disruptive technologies have literally disrupted the traditional ecosystem and only thing constant is change.
Oracle great product was a giant sleeping when AWS took over the cloud scenario as a novice beginner now a major player - rabbit and turtle story.
Oracle charging twice the license fees for aws cloud deployment another reason why clients moving away from Oracle. They just lacked the vision and could not see it coming. Sad thing I loved Oracle products but Oracle management is just not up to the mark. Have worked with Oracle since Oracle 6.
I wish Oracle was the cloud leader instead of aws. Then its technologies traditional /new would carry more weight. Though Oracle has some cloud offerings but they are just dead ears. Tried to bring in Oracle cloud in my company, their price was too high. AWS did that for much less. What do we call business arrogance - blind sighted -shortsighted vision.
Mr Larry please hurry -
Mr Ellison save the setting Sun -
learn from other companies mistakes before committing the same to learn the lessons. Learn from IBM , how windows took over from it.
Long live Oracle technologies. Long live PL/SQL.
