$60 is not all that unreasonable for a competant Software Engineer with a 4 year degree and 2 years experience. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of doug Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 2:03 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Re: [OT] Compensation.. salaries and Vacation. Good point, I was under the assumption there that if you've been a sysadmin for 5 years you've done something besides linux (especially considering it was almost unheard of to have on a server in a business environment 5 years ago compared to today). But yeah, 2 years exp, $60 is rather high, but then 5 years that might actually be low (I know a couple that make over 60 and they are both 4-6 years exp as sysadmins).
