    Hello Fellow DBAs/Developers/Consultants/Managers,

    I couldn't find a reliable + recent source for DBA salaries in USA.

    Glassdoor.com is very good and reliable. For example - a google search for "glassdoor dba salary chicago" gets you to https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/chicago-database-administrator-salary-SRCH_IL.0,7_IM167_KO8,30.htm which, IMO, gets you some accurate results when you scroll down to the Recent Salary Reports area.
