Hello, we are working with an employer that is looking to hire someone
capable of managing Mongo and Sybase databases at their office in
Canada.  Consequently, I had hoped that some members of this list may
like to discuss further.  Kind regards, James

If you are posting here, is it because they want to move all these to PostgreSQL?

If they wanted people from this list the they should upgrade to 
PostgreSQL, they'll find PostgreSQL faster and more reliable than 
Mongo.  I suspect  the same might true for Sybase, but I've never done a 
detailed comparison.

Indeed.  MongoDB has some interesting features like capped collections which make it useful as a cache, but my experience always leaves me feeling like performance and scalability are lacking.
