contractor (like this position). It is possible to get more than $80K,
but not very and most of the non-government positions I have seen were
$40-60k. For anyone who plans to stay on the island and work as a unix
person, I highly recommend getting a clearance.

more than $80K. In my experience $80k is about the average for the
high end. One of my friends made just over $100k salary, but that was
rare.

took home) as much as $125/hr. They had no benefits and didn't know if
they were going to work 90 hours this week or zero hours for the next
six weeks (if they didn't work, they didn't get paid). Mostly they
worked a lot of hours, but they have all been laid off since the fall
of the internet start-ups.
