RE: Becoming a DBA questions

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!)

Note that the article doesn't say that he is making $150K. 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.

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.
