I'm a Linux Sysadmin in the Indy area. I feel like Linux is growing up in the Indy area. Dev-ops positions are paying more, but there are still alot of older style Unix-to-Linux positions at more established manufacturing-centric companies. They don't pay well at all, and they tend to have much older technology, maybe 3 to 5 years behind what you see on the coasts.
When I looked last year it seemed like the midwest was mostly behind the coasts and Denver / Austin were maybe a year or two behind. When I say that, I mean that many of these midwest companies are running old RH 5/6, little cloud, operator style system admin. You have to manage your career to make sure you don't get stuck somewhere that lets your tech skills atrophy.
