I'm currently working as Network Computer Administrator. I actually do some stuff related to Network Devices, Configuring, Monitoring, Microsoft Services, Linux Systems etc.

Out of curiosity, what is the range of salary for a DBA, Network Administrator specialist in Australia?
Nice!

For full-time permanent positions (in particular Melbourne & Sydney), I would say between $110k - $140k p.a. AUD (people in Australia quote their salary before tax and superannuation).

You would have to take into account number of years of experience, whether it's a state/federal government role vs Corporate, and permanent vs contracting rates.

Australia pays well for IT roles IMO (considering the work/life balance and the "she'll be right mate" easy-going attitude).

Some useful websites on this topic if you are interested:

The great thing about working outside the U.S. is that turning things off at the end of the day and to just do your life is normalized. Which isn't to say they don't work hard, but they turn it off.

In the U.S., there is mostly coworker gaslighting to join the competitive self-flagellation office pool.
It's really shocking to hear how bad it is in the US. This is why I'm glad Australia just passed the Right to disconnect.

I've heard that in the US, you can be terminated at any time, for almost any (or no) reason, without notice, without compensation, and full loss of healthcare. Sounds fucking insane.

Just finishing our 12 days Tour of Scotland...tommorow we go to Edinburg and fly back home.

In those days we had one! afternoon, like 5-6 hours of rain in Inverness and twice for a few minutes while driving.
But otherwise it was sunny for the whole trip. How lucky are we?
