Tell me about it! I've had exaclty the same experience about several years
ago. Even though I was leading tech part of every critical project and was
the contact whenever a serious problem occurred, the employer paid higher
salary to all other team members because they were over 10 years older than
me, they had 15 years of experience instead of my 3, but they couldn't do
much more than standard database administration like adding datafiles and
such with their "experience".
That was quite frustrating... but no problem anymore, now I'm on my own and
pay my own salary ;)
