[ale] Linux admin position salary survey

[Jerald Sheets]

I think you’d be better served overall by educating with the following information:


https://www.usenix.org/system/files/lisa/surveys/lisa_2011_salary_survey.pdf <https://www.usenix.org/system/files/lisa/surveys/lisa_2011_salary_survey.pdf>


Whomever you would look to convince should know what we’re paid all over the world and then also locally at home to understand how good they have it in an Atlanta context compared to other places, and also that experience and certs carried plays a part in overall compensation as well.

But I cannot continue there with the data you'll find in that search, and I can't wait for FY2016 to start for it to be marginally better (maybe). So I want to give them an immediate chance to get _much_ closer to a correct pay scale, but I need data to show what that is.
