salaries surveys like that are not location specific. so the $86,000/year
will include lower wage locations and higher wage locations (usually but not
totally associated with cost of living). Also, it includes all DBAs and I
think Oracle DBAs tend to make more than most other DBAs (I am not sure
about specialist databases like teradata, etc... ). Compensation also varies
widely, particularly in a slow economy.
I would be very hesitant to ask for a raise in the current economy.
Especially if the US government cuts as much as they are planning. An NIH
project that I had recently left, had 25% contractor cuts with more coming.
The government cuts contractors long before they cut federal employees. That
project had 3 federal managers for each project. I couldn't figure out what
most of them did. Some clearly didn't do anything. Virtually all technical
jobs are contractors. If more budget cuts come, there will be alot of IT
people out of work. They are also more likely to cut software projects in
general before cutting benefits to taxpayers or anything else that the
taxpayers may notice or that some political opponent can claim matters.
In this economy, it is very common for employees to give staff more hours
and more responsibility without any compensation increase since there are
not as many options. I have never asked for a raise anyway. I find it safer
to get another job. I would be doubly hesitant to ask for a raise in the
current economy. Also note, if you work in a corporate environment, wage
scales are structured by HR. Your manager has very little say over what you
earn.
