you work for a large government contractor. They pretty much base salary on years of experience and degrees. Performance is almost irrelevant. You may get an extra 1% raise if you perform well, that is about it. Its not uncommon in government contractor for someone with less experience and a lack of a technical degree to significantly outperform people with pretty resumes and make $30,000/year less or more. Fairly standard. It doesn't happen all of the time, but it is very common. > > From: "Grabowy, Chris" <chris.grabowy@xxxxxxxx> > Date: 2004/06/09 Wed PM 01:07:01 EDT > To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Future DBA job outlook > > "According to Robert Half International, starting salaries in 2003 > ranged from $69,750 to $101,750 for database administrators." > > Starting salaries???
