Unix Salaries?

Hi guys,

I'm curious about how much does a sysadmin usually earn doing his job.

How much does a junior sysadmin make per year? what about a senior? (what would you consider a senior?) or a unix-related manager?

Can a sysadmin position be compared to a DBA position or a programmer position (talking about annual salaries).

I know it may also depend on the country. For example I was born in Mexico but work for a large company in the US, nonetheless for what I've seen I'm pretty sure mexican salaries are not even close to -say- european salaries or australian salaries (though the cost of leaving is also cheaper).

I'm not asking for your personal salary information, but more like your personal opinion on the issue.

Thanks. :smiley:

Not sure if you're going to get many takers to discuss their individual salaries.. but thought I'd give this reply with some results from google search using terms 'IT salary survey' ...
