I have, a few years ago.
It's not unheard of, just uncommon.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
My impression is in the bull direction.
Up until this year it was possible to get up to the 100,000+ range pretty quickly if you were experienced and willing to job hop (I stayed put and haven't made it there yet). But with the dot com collapse there are a lot of good people out there looking for work.
And I had heard of consultants and really senior people (i.e., also
managing
a bunch of other DBAs) in certain markets making $150K.
I'd never heard of a 200K salary before this and inclined to doubt it.

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.
