I will reply because I am not really part of the community. It depends massively on the company, where you live and your skill level. For a normal area (not San Francisco, etc) I think the following is sane: Jr DBA: 50-75k (probably 3+ years of relevant experience, but not DBA experience) DBA: 60-90k (several years DBA experience) Sr DBA:80-120k (several years DBA experience plus extensive knowledge) Anyone feel like correcting me? -- Rob Wultsch wultsch@gmail.com

I suspect H1B ssalaries tend to be somewhat below these levels. also, it really depends if DBA means purely administration and operations, if so, I'd expect salaries to be somewhat lower than those ranges, or whether it includes application design and development management, whereupon they could be higher. There really aren't that many shops that need a full time pure database administrator, its far more likely in the postgres world for the DBA hat to be worn by someone who's primary job is general systems administrator. -- john r pierce N 37, W 123 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
Thanks buddy. You are quite right. I may work in the system administrator team as a Database Specialist where primary responsibility may be database tuning, replication and backup policy defining etc.

Generally speaking, salaries are whatever is negotiated between the employee in the company, so there's nothing illegal or immoral about that. That's why salaries for a given position are defined as a range. The reason why h1b employees tend to earn somewhat less is complicated. It's a much bigger deal for them to switch jobs than u.s. citizens, and that affects their negotiating position. Also it takes time to learn English well and to understand the domestic business culture, and to build relationships that can land you a better job. merlin
WashingtonDC-NY corridor is 100k+
greater Boston is averaging 50k.
