I'm sorry ... but "a little over $100K" + $7K is way over what any reasonable person would pay for a newbie DBA! I stand by my previous message ... this is full of crap unless he's doing more than DBA work! (Or the company is EXTREMELY generous and I want on board!)

It says that at his old position he was making a little over $100K, and getting Oracle certified got him a $7K increase. Well, changing jobs and getting a 7% increase isn't a big deal. It says that this position has a potential maximum of $150K. I would rate the article as misleading but not an outright lie. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 2:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I agree also, I've been working with Oracle since version 4 and the rates here in austin,tx are anywhere from $35/hr to $75/hr, and chances are pretty slim finding an company willing to pay $75/hr for an senior person, and usually its an 1099 job when it comes to $75/hr job. dan whatley Randy Kirkpatrick wrote: > > Either he's full of crap, or they're paying him way too much unless he has > some other managerial responsibilities.
