$50k monthly would pay for a team of the worlds best system administators.

You know sysadmins that make > $100K / year?

If we assume $20K fringe benefits, that $50K / month is $600K annually, which gets you 5 $100K/year sysadmins.

Yes, I know plenty of Devopsish people that make more than that. And I'm not even talking about SRE-minded folk there.

You live in a bubble. Outside of the rarefied air of SFBA, wages are much lower. I do know super sharp people who are paid far less.

And how much is your non-bubbled far less? I'm not even closely to the Bay Area btw.
