[geeks] the everpresent salary question

[geeks at sunhelp.org]

These people are smoking cheap crack.

What is a NT WAN ENGINEER? I've never seen NT on WANs before? And they have
no listing for a network engineer or admin. They seem to think that all
networks are NT based.

Total crap.

~ 
~ so i find myself in the job market again.
~ 
~ i am poking around and looking at salary surveys. the first one that 
~ popped up on google was:
~ 
~ http://www.itclubusa.com/survey.htm
~ 
~ this may shock some of you, but the publicized salaries are 
~ all around 
~ 45% higher here in the DC/MD/VA Metro area than they are on 
~ that survey. 
~ (all positions below are senior)
~ 
~ I'm seeing help desk making between $52k and $83k, project managers 
~ making between $108k and $166k, unix SA's making between $82k 
~ and $133k, 
~ dbas between $109k and $166k as well.
~ 
~ cost of living here is quite a bit more than you might expect, I pay 
~ $2k/month for a 2br apartment in the city. but still, this seems a 
~ little high. can people in the DC area (or outside) corroborate these 
~ rates for me? i'm trying to figure out what i should be 
~ asking for as I 
~ begin to interview again.
