Hello folks --

Interested to know if the group could advise on what a reasonable yearly
salary would be for a "Senior Linux Administrator" here in the Phoenix
Metro Valley.  I have researched online and found a wide spread between
75k-130k ... that seems to vary wildly based on location ... hoping to
narrow that down ... so I can see through any included "Cost of living"
bump.

I did my own "back of the envelope" calculation and found "$106,865.00" may
be a reasonable ask, but again, this was averaged with data from about 22
different "Tech Hubs" (Atlanta, Austin, SF, Seattle, etc, etc ...).

I have about 12 years experience with Linux (no Unix exp), and have worked
in a variety of Linux focused jobs, but have never been in a "Senior"
(title) role before, and I'm not sure what a reasonable ask is.

Right now I'm at $85k and would like to counter an offer, intelligently.
