[thedave1164]

We are lookig for a systems administrator for a Windows/Cisco shop.

Windows 7
Server 2008R2
HP/UX

XP
2003
Cisco VOIP
HP/EMC SAN technologies
We are a highly distributed network, with 55 remote sites, and 100+ sales force around the country including HI, all run back to Greeley.


You will have to be willing to relocate to Greeley CO area, no relocation $ that I am aware of.
Privately held corporation, in the black with cash in the bank.
We have one employee that has been with the company since 1953, real deal WWII hero.
This company has never laid any one off, and only hires when there is work to be done.
Myself and the Sr Admin are responsible for over 45 different systems/technologies.
We are pretty leading edge, when and where it makes sense.

If you are interested PM me for email addy, will need resume and salary req.

I don't expect this to be open long.

What is the typical pay for a position like this one? I only ask because I am going to school for this very job.

the acronym DOE comes into play.

Schooling is one thing, experience is another. But really it varies from one extreme to another.

There are some salary surveys on sites like monster/dice/career builder.

But right out of school with 0 experience $9-15 hr helpdesk, and moving up to deskside support role, then to Jr Admin.

I have made $10 hr as a Service Manager, and $100K yr as a systems analyst and everything inbetween.

PS I do not make $100K now

Thanks that does help me get a better idea of what to expect.

Something a lot of folks who aren't in the industry fail to consider is that these same type of positions that require a government security clearance can help to increase the salary; more so the higher the clearance.

Not so much now as it was.

I know a guy at L3 Communications that can get a clearance for someone with a clean record in 48 hours. That is an interim Secret.

Used to be you had to get it in the service and keep it active working for DOD contractor.

It still helps though, just not the deal breaker it used to be.

No problem.

I warn people to not get into IT right now, as it is saturated, and few really good jobs out there.

In 2002 I got laid off, along with about 10000 other it folks in Colorado, I was competing for helpdesk jobs with PhD's, no joke, lot's of MS types too.

Find a niche, and be willing to relocate for the best positions.

Worst part for me, is I like rural America, and IT jobs don't grow on farms.....

Doc, send me a PM, we sometimes bring on interns, located downtown Denver and have a nice cross-section of tech at work in the real world.

Forgot about internships, it is a good way to get real world experience while going to school.
