Win an iPod nano: Take the Annual SAGE/IBM Salary Survey Now
As part of its ongoing efforts to gain recognition and advancement for system administrators, SAGE annually conducts a System Administrator Salary Survey. This year, IBM has joined us to sponsor the survey.
The results are tabulated, analyzed, and presented in PDF format. Participants enter a raffle to win an iPod nano. In addition, every participant will receive the complete analysis of the survey responses; after a year, the PDFs become free to all.
