Hello,,

I was just curious if anybody could let me know what salary range I should
be at.
A little background of my work history...

I live in Oklahoma City
Bachelor of Business Administration, Management Information Systems,
A+ Certification
Network+ Certification
Soon to be MCSA
I have worked for the same company for about 3 years now in the Networking
department. Our company has about 40 employees.
About 6 months ago, the Network Admin left and I took on his
responsibilities.
I take care of all the help desk functions for the employees and also all
the network Infrastructure management for the employees. I am the only
employee in the network department now since the other employee left.

Salary:
I make in the low 30's.
I was just wondering if anybody will have some suggestions.
Thanks......

I manage 500+ servers 6000+ desktops in a 20000 Sqf data center and over
150,000 employees world wide and make in the 60's. You are over paid you
should only be making in the 5's .

If I did only make in the 5's like you say Jeff, then I would put that money
aside and save up to put a hit out on you head.

Jeff is a XXX!!!!

Based on your experience and skill set, I would say that your salary
should be at least in the high 30's, low 40's. Did you talk with
your employer about salary compensation when the network
administrator left?

Ya, I talked to them when he left.
Our company was just bought out by another computer company, so my HR lady
told me it would be about 4 months before they could do anything.
Now that they are giving raises, I felt that I should get a salary
adjustment, not just a % increase. Well see if they are going to increase
my salary, if not I will probably look around for another job.

Oh I am so sorry that I did not post what you wanted to hear! Ok you
should be making in the $70's and a new company car! There is that better?

I mean really who the hell would post a question like this in a NG? Have
you not looked at job ads in you city? Have you not looked at the
unemployment rate and the overall IT industry? You manage a 40 users
network, most companies would out source this and would be maybe a 10 hour
a week job for someone.

ONCE Again
JEFF IS a XXX!!!!!!!

and he can kiss mine!!!!!!!!!

Bye the way, I don't think you know anything about networking.
Plugging a computer into a wall outlet is not networking you jerk...
Out of the 150,000 employees that you say you manage, I bet you don't go and
see any of them. Not every office could outsource with 40 employees.
How about I pay you 5000 to come and work for me. I don't think you could
handle it.

It's very, very simple.

You salary should be whatever you can convince an employer that you're worth
paying - nothing more, and nothing less. If you've hit a ceiling with one
employer there's nothing stopping you from trying another.

Degrees, certificates, on-the-job experience, and anything else you can
bring to bear are all legitimate tools that you can use to help persuade an
employer of your value, but not one of them entitles you to a thing.

No you are right I don't think I could handle it, I would probably shoot
my self from shear boredom after the first week.

I'd say $40K is about right...
