Post-crash Salary Survey

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the checking-out-the-world dept.

MrRules writes "It's that time again; the 2002 salary survey's are out. This year there's an interesting twist: SAGE, SANS and Sun's BigAdmin site have combined to run the largest global participation sysadmin salary survey ever done. What I like is that this is different to those surveys done by HR departments -- this is real data on how you spend your time, by sysadmins for sysadmins. It'll be interesting to see how things have changed over the past 18 months."

    Of course, being in a hostile fire zone (read: no taxes) helps some. :)
    Until some of that hostile fire comes your way. No thanks, my life is worth more than ~$1K/month to me.
    Hm... $50,000 / 12 months = $4166.67 per month. Is your life worth more than that? Surely not.
