You make me feel so underpaid, is 300k the going rate for being a DevOps Engineer that knows the old ways of CGI/LAMP and can leverage running Exchange/IIS nowadays?
I don't even know if these salaries are truthful now.
I don't actually know if that's the going rate TBH. That was the range our ops (not devops, he managed our datacenter ops) guy was hired away for almost a decade ago
Those are certainly in range for DevOps people at the higher end of the scale.
