Of course, if it was a government job, which would seem very possible in DC, it wouldn't seem quite that unusual. Government jobs for experienced DBA's were advertised at 60k during the height of the tech boom.

I saw one DBA job that wanted 5 years experience advertised at $45k/year. I dont know if they filled it, but I have talked to quite a few people that turned them down. id be curious about salaries in california. Seems to me most advertised salaries are very low. Seems like most oracle jobs around here are short term contracts. It also seems like contracting companies are keeping alot more of the rate for themselves. This is evident sicne you often see 3-5 contracters advertising for the same exact job at different rates. The good thing about that is that contracts are no longer sole source bids, so you an negotiate your way up. but id bet if you did that... you would be blacklisted and they wouldnt call you again. > > From: Gabriel Aragon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/06/24 Tue PM 12:29:50 EDT > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: DBA Salary in California > > Hi guys, just curiosity, any idea about the salary > range for an Oracle DBA in California area?
