Something is horribly wrong with that calculator! From San Francisco or
Manhattan to some small town in western Nebraska, salaries for DBAs only
vary about 15-30%. These posts from OraStaff always seem to be for
low-paying jobs, wanting significant experience in a number of technologies,
demanding long tenure, no H1B, no relocation, ad nauseum...
Of course, Monster, Dice, et cetera aren't much better. They are dominated
by headhunters mindessly spewing out tens of thousands of "opportunities"
each. In my opinion, the only "opportunity" in the vast majority of them is
for the recruiter to make a commission. I saw several recently that
"absolutely required" two years production experience with Oracle9i and
Oracle9i certification. Four different recruiters here in town called me
about one of these positions - with exactly the same requirements as the web
site(s). If that isn't *totally* clueless, then what might be? I tried to
explain to them that anyone who said they were "qualified" should be
disqualified - as blatantly dishonest.

As evidence of this, HomeFair.com's salary calculator says a salary of
$100,000 in Manhattan is equivalent to $32,000 in Spartanburg. Doubt this
is accurate to the penny, but if even close it sounds like $75K has you
living like a king (or queen) in Spartanburg.

Geographic region affects pay scale just as much as years of experience,
I think. Especially on the extreme ends of the scale such as a small
town in a rural region or say Manhattan or San Fransisco.
I think it's very difficult to judge pay scales in areas where you
haven't been monitoring the job market for a while. It's like comparing
apples and oranges because there are too many variables.
My two cents.

I'm wondering what "frequent" means...? Am I the only one that thinks
the pay scale is a bit low, with this caveat? To me, the paradigm seems
to be the new guys out there change jobs frequently, for better money
and experience and then, a bit later on, they find a place that appreciates
them for who they are, pays them what they are worth and doesn't want to
let them go. Granted, the current economic downturn may have changed
that picture a bit...
With what they are offering in pay, I'm not sure they will find anyone
with any long term experience.
What does anyone else think?
