"Hey Chris congratulations - braggard ;o) (4 dollar signs!)



A few years ago I was looking for a contract (programmer, DB Design, analysis) and people were only offering about $35 per hour! (all expenses included and requiring temporary?relocation).
? I ended up going?over to the dark side of client-server (eventually web) and Relational - starting as an analyst and now doing database development/design.??

A couple years ago I was able to get my rate up and work with IDMS?but it was in shop that had IDMS and Oracle - and - I love this -?I was migrating data from Oracle to IDMS ;o)

As far as companies keeping the salaries secret - imo - that is usually the case when the salary structures have some major inequities.? (This theory was supposed in my Grad school business classes.)???

I wonder - if people are uncomfortable disclosing their salaries/rates - whether we could get an anonymous survey going??

"WOW - are there shops were folks ONLY do IDMS DBA work? 5 years ago, I saw
the ""writing on the wall"" and attempted to learn DB2 - it has paid off well
for me ($$$$) - we just completed an upgrade to V8 (20+ subsystems) and NO
outages due to the upgrade; 2 jobs experienced longer run times due to
changed access path - in fact, just today i got a bonus ($$$$) for the
error-free implementation

"Unless you are the only person in your state that knows something like
SAP, salaries have little to do with platform or database or often much
of anything else. Those may impact your ability to find work, but there
is a lot that goes into a person's salary.
