Network Administrator I- Discussion
-
Sorry if I end up with more questions each time there is a discussion and it pushes the topic away from the OP. But it's the reality of a discussion.
But perhaps the point of this post wasn't a discussion, but only wanting to post a job thread.
That said, Scott's right, HR could learn a lot from the feedback in the thread in regards to what kind of people read these postings on these types of boards and what they may or may not bother responding to.
-
All, because it is the job postings board. It is not in a discussion forum.
Keep your opinions out of the post.@scottalanmiller I have no personal skin in this. I stayed out of this until it got so bad the OP contemplated deleting the thread. I only chimed in because at that point you all continued to spew forth unrelated information to the OP's job posting.

Fair point, took the discussion here: http://mangolassi.it/topic/5179/how-should-the-job-postings-section-function
-
This topic has been moved to IT Careers. This is a more appropriate space for this discussion.
-
That's more appropriate for the discussion that followed, but not really appropriate for the OP.
-
Oh I agree that for the OP it's not the best place. But for the discussion that follwed it is.
-
Can we change the title to "Network Administrator 1 - Discussion" and have @IRJ repost the OP in the appropriate section?
-
-
Done.

It reads like they want the sun, moon and starts and are willing to pay peanuts
-
They want the starts for sure.

The pay is actually really high for the area. I challenge you to search the Orlando area for jobs. If you spent 20 minutes or so looking on career builder for a similar position, I doubt you would find one in the same pay range. Most would be quite a bit less

@IRJ oh, I'm sure it's probably quite good! Just commenting on how it was written

I've actually been offered way more in Orlando
But... Orlando. LOLBut you are right, Orlando is a terrible market and that pay range seems quite reasonable.
-
At least Orlando is a very low cost of living and no state income tax. At least I think the cost of living is low. That's what I have heard.

We don't wanna hear about your indecent proposal at Disney.
A gang bang with Minnie and Pluto? Shame on you!

It's much higher than this area. I used to get offered System Administrator roles for under $30k all the time, when my last job was over $10k more. Now that I'm actually looking for a job those don't even come up lol.

I am seeing in the market take a dive for pay rates in the more rural areas these days. There is an MSP in Rochester that is paying their Engineering people $15/hour. Their helpdesk get $9/hour. They also only charge customers around $75/hour though so what can you expect?
-
Well, I know a few of the places I interviewed for have outsource those jobs overseas instead of hiring. It seems to be a trend. Most of them were Linux Admins, System Admins or network Admins. Apparently they can hire firms over there to do it much cheaper and then just pay an inexperienced techs $9 for desktops/hardware stuff. Seems dumb, especially at the thousands of employees level.
