[NCLUG] How much should we be making?

[DJ Eshelman]

Hey all- sorry about my extended absence lately- I've been out on a roaming 
deployment project (NT based- yack), and recently had an offer from a local 
company that would potentially keep me here in Northern Colorado full time, 
not just on the weekends as I am now.

So here's the question/situation:
The position I'm concidering is for a mid-level to start, then possibly 
senior Linux admin for a company that has about 100 or so local employees, 
but a good sized datacenter deployed with a mix between Red Hat x.x, RedHat 
Advanced Server, Windows NT and 2000 servers.  I would apparently be 
responsible for administering and deploying these servers in the datacenter 
with cluster management, etc.  It sounds like a somewhat challenging 
position and of course I can't devulge much else, but I'm wondering what 
kind of numbers this sort of thing would normally go for up here.  Most of 
the numbers I've gotten are skewed 'coastal' data, where the cost of living 
is higher and therefore so is the payscales.

So without endangering any of our jobs/contracts/lives, can someone give me 
a rough estimate of what a Mid Level Linux Administrator would normally be 
making?

hey, if nothing else if I can get good numbers I can start coming to 
meetings again :)

thanks all!
