RE: Becoming a DBA questions

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.
