{{{oh, this will be good. a guy without a job or ocp telling you how much you should make. what a joker.}}}
I merely asked this poster about his experience, I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
You are trying to make comments about my background? Don't even go there bud. I have a job in finance and a MS degree in the field, but I don't have an OCP yet. But, at least I do not lie about my experience or salary.
On the west coast of Canada independent Senior DBAs are down to $50 an hour.
If you work for a media sized consulting company the following rates would apply:
Senior DBA could expect $40 - $50 an hour (they will bill you out at $65 - $75 an hour).
Intermediate DBAs $25 - $30 an hour.
Junior DBAs with 3-5 years general IT background $15 - $20 an hour.
Junior DBA no experience 6$ an hour (they call it six bucks sucks).
The larger consulting companies will bill you out at a higher rate and will pay a higher salary, but they usually skim the best from the smaller consulting companies.
If you work an internal IT department, then a senior DBA will earn $70,000.
I'm not a dba yet. But I want to be in a near future. Currently I'm a DB programmer. Have not much idea about this type of job. It seems to me that most DBAs works on a contract base instead of internally. Is that right?
