Not sure about either of those.

I think Denver has lagged at times behind other areas in the country, especially considering the cost of living here. The last 3 DBA jobs I've had have been in the 80's - 90's. I see consulting shops charging $120-250 easily, though not sure what the grunts are getting paid. I've rarely had issues with $100/hr for me, though I've declined a number of opportunities in the last 3 years.

I'd like to think other DBAs are trying to keep up with the Jones's DBA

I'm just curious if anyone had updates on their rates? I basically got told that $50 per hour was way too high for someone with 4 years DBA, 6 years total IT. This was in the Kansas City area.

Sort of along the original lines of the thread topic, but whats the contract job market in Toronto like for SQL DBAs?

I have worked in South Africa, England and Switzerland (current). Around 10 years of experience... We work on day rates out here and I have worked my way up from £350 to £600 per day over the last few years.

What's the position? What are the other benefits? Are you going for a job or consulting?

Thinking about moving there???

Last time I checked it was the biggest market in Canada, or easily in top 3.

It was a DBA contractor position for the government, it had a W2 thats about it. There were 2 contractors on top of me though.

Can you send us the link to the job posting? Without that it's a bit hard to provide more info.

I don't know your market, but 80K to 100K doesn't seem overpaid at all.

Considering it... wont be for a couple of years as I have landed a rather decent position now and we (my fiancee and I) are trying to move to buy in France, but will eventually get bored of that......... :hehe:
