Understand, that you are worth whatever they pay you and you stay for. There is no reason for them to pay you more, if you are willing to work at what you are getting now. I hate the "I am worth x amount" comments, if so, go get it. At the current time, you are worth whatever they are paying you. Go out and find a salary calculator and put some numbers together for your management team. Run the number by them and see what they have to say. That being said, 50 workstations and 7 servers is not a very big enterprise. True, it is Linux, but even so. Just my $.02. -----Original Message----- From: MadProfessor [mailto:madprofessor@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 7:56 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Average Salary? Just thought I'd add something I JUST found.... According to www.computerjobs.com and their Salary ticker the average salary nationwide is 60+K a year for Linux administrators....the highest being $140K per annum..... That doesn't even include the workload or the number of servers/users..... Woohoo! You can bet that's going into my report....

Here's a stupid question for all you folks out there... What would you think a single employee managing around 50 workstations (Various flavors of Windows) and 7 Linux Servers across a WAN of 7 offices in the St Louis area, should make? I won't make my life more depressing by actually writing down in black and white what I get paid, but I'm getting ready to write a report prior to my raise review and I'd like to have some ammunition. Links to articles and just general web information on average Linux/Windows system administrator salary would be appreciated as well as your anecdotal information.
