Because of the Microsoftization of run-of-the-mill Linux usage and
the wide human resource pipeline feeding into it, jobs like those
are being taken over by $40-50K/year guys coming out of the cert
mills and the cloud racket means that fewer and fewer people will
ever rack-n'-stack again. It's very difficult to command six
figures when you can't differentiate yourself from folks making
half that or even less when the work can be readily offshored.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I need to get an idea of what my position
pays out in the real world, or even at most metro Atlanta
universities. I'm hoping you guys can help me out with
that. Here's a short list of my duties:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Spec new systems that will run RHEL</div>
<div>* Install and maintain RHEL on all Linux based
systems</div>
<div>* Setup and administer RH Satellite Server</div>
<div>* Manage SSL termination and general load balancing
via HAProxy (with a failover system)</div>
<div>* Setup and manage the DNS servers (authoritative and
recursive)</div>
<div>* Setup and maintain DHCPD servers</div>
<div>* Keep abreast of security concerns and patches on
all RHEL systems</div>
<div>* Maintain backups of all critical RHEL systems</div>
<div>* Resolve off-hour business impacting issues (e.g.
DHCPD went bye-bye have to restart it)</div>
<div>* Advise purchases for new infrastructure
devices/products</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Plus all of the little details you guys know come
with all of that. There's more, but that is the heart of
the position. The number of systems involved is
currently around 50 (mix of production and test); it's
only going to grow as time goes on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, if you were hiring for such a position, in the
metro Atlanta area, what would you expect to pay
someone? Or if you're in such a position, and don't mind
sharing a ballpark figure (off list if you like), what
is your salary?<span class="HOEnZb"><font
