Fuck that job I would probably get stomach cancer from all the stress

It really wouldn't be all that bad. If they're dropping $2m/y on a database admin, then their BCDR plan must be rock solid with crazy fault tolerances. I'd imagine outages are extremely rare.

But, if they're dropping that kind of money, you'd have to be an expert in the field. Or know someone.
