I
think if you are in the Bay area your salary tends to be a little higher and I don't think
that
$150k is out of the question but that would be for a very seasoned DBA. I don't
know
what the top range for a senior DBA is at my company but I am pretty sure its
in the
6 figure mark. But it costs a lot more to live in the Bay area as well. I think its
20%
more then the national average there and the salaries reflect that.

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
