Case in point: my employer has a vacancy that has been unfilled for the better part of a year now because they want to hire a full-time Database Administrator and not pay more than $65k.
My theory is that they're intentionally low-balling it so that no one will apply and they can hire an H1B.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoJob vacancies below market rate should not be counted as openings. Pretty easy to determine market rate from data provided by payroll providers (ie ADP).
- tricolon 10y agoThat $65k may very well be the "prevailing wage" determined by the Department of Labor.
- toyg 10y ago> a full-time Database Administrator Do those even exist anymore, in the US? In the UK I very rarely encounter UK-based DBAs, 99.99% are offshore.
- Taylor_OD 10y agoI was a technical recruiter for a couple year and only met two USA based DBAs. They both do fully remote work and bill 100 an hour as a contractor.
- pragmatic 10y agoI've mostly encountered them in banks where there is regulation or a strong desire not to let developers access production data/systems (Sarbox or something, I forget). However their use seems to be declining in most other industries.
