Must say that salary levels in the UK r much lower so.....average DBA
salaries 
here range between £35K to £40K which is peanuts compared to the salaries u
r
talking about. A contractor gets better rates but not more than £35-40 per
hour 
in today's market.

Hats off to the US on salaries !!

We actually heard in the office today that one of our contacts is currently
forking ?120 PER HOUR for an Oracle contractor that has experience on UNIX /
AIX based systems. This guy is working on a 40 hour per week basis - and the
cash is paid directly to him! He is supposedly a very competent DBA.

With this in mind:

Per week = ?4,800
Per Month = ?19,200
Per Year = ?249,600 (!!!!)

I know these numbers may not be "true" as this guys is a contractor, and may
not have 52 weeks of the year booked up - but..

For you guys an' gals in the US that equates to:

Per Hour = $172
Per Week = $6,900
Per Month = $27,600
Per Year = $358,775

Now THAT'S what I call making REAL money!

Yeh, I thought wow as well
My question is this is it really possible to earn that sort of money as a
DBA in the US?, and no I aint looking for a job over there. Just curious if
this is total bull

We hear rumours routinely about salary levels in the US and they tend to
contradict themselves sometimes figures such as this and then sometimes a
lot, lot less. But then the same applies to the market here. There is
probably a couple of key DBA's in Sydney and Melbourne that are 6 figures
and then there is a lot of DBA's over here that earn more like midddle to
high 5 figure incomes. Sydney figures always are or should be higher


Cheers

Lemme get this right.

This guy is a *new* DBA.  He's making 150k and he's not
even a senior DBA, where he can make 200k?

That's all from me.  I'm gonna go sulk now.
