CLAM DOWN posted:That's $3700 CAD/month which is really really high for tier 1/2 work in my area. It's all regional though. Ja, ik ben nederlands. So yeah. I'd be shooting for 30.000 euro gross per year. I've done quite a few things this last year. Migrated a bunch of servers. The latest one being Active Directory. I'm solving every issue the migration has. Last week our erp software had an update which rebooted the erp server. Which led to a problem that the application couldn't launch because it couldn't connect to the server. I took a look into event viewer. Found out that there's a duplicate spn. Windows 2012 R2 blocks duplicate spn's. Googled how to fix this. Found that I needed to edit dSHeuristics via adsiedit. I still haven't worked for a full year as tier 1. but I can analyze and google well enough to solve most issues. I believe 2500 euro is a fair amount for a starter like me. But please let me know if I'm shooting too high, or what you guys think I should be payed. I think I can at least ask for the raise when I'm mcsa certified and start at my new function. Worst case scenario, I get shutdown, or I can at least go up to 2000-2200. I will get nothing if I don't ask.

I was just comparing to my area, which is honestly a pretty lovely IT job market. 30,000 EUR = 42,000 CAD, that's a good tier 1/2 salary for my city for sure. Good luck!

A recruiter kept calling me and pestering me to apply for this job that they have had trouble keeping filled. Its as a lead Exchange admin. For a law firm. In the law firms downtown HQ. Despite every bone in my body telling me not to I applied. It's been a goal to crack $100K a year and this starts at that with good benefits. Something tells me though that there is a reason they've had trouble keeping the spot filled.

Every time a client email is blocked by the spam filter they fire an exchange admin to make an example of them. If a lawyer demands changing settings so she's allowed to send a 50 mb attachment and it bounces back from the receiver's system, that's 2 fired exchange admins. The lead exchange admin is in charge of training every new admin, and maintaining the 70 year retention policy. If a single email in the history of the firm is missing, or takes more than an hour to restore because a lawyer shift-deleted a .msg saved in a server share, the lead exchange admin gets the boot.

Yeah I can't wrap my head around what kind of company needs a full time permanent Exchange admin? What the hell does the guy do all day? Are they literally just manually adding in email addresses to their spam filter? Setting OOO messages for people? How can Exchange administration possibly take up 40 hours a week? And even if you are to that point and you are more there to babysit for when really weird esoteric Exchange poo poo comes up wouldnt the company be big enough to put in a support ticket from Microsoft?

Sefal posted:Ja, ik ben nederlands. It kinda depends on what your experience/education is. If you have a bachelor's degree you should be making 2250-2500ish after a year or 2. Sounds like you started with MBO (4 ICT beheer?) which makes 1700 as a starter not that unreasonable. Do you have a company car as well? I'm not familiar with pay outside of the Randstad area so ymmv. If you want to discuss it outside of thethread throw me a PM.

My boss seemed somewhat receptive to a pay raise, and putting money out for a server. He had another board meeting next month, so I have until then to write a proposal. To present. This is awesome. I'm internally freaking the gently caress out though, what in god's name do I do? I don't even have a Comptia A+ Cert. I START on my bachelor's in December and now i have to talk to multi-millionaires about a loving 600 person office? I don't know how to talk to normal people like that. I didn't even know what RAID was until I flubbed a Tier 1 interview! These people are olllld too, like in their upper 50's they're going to take one look at me and say "Hah, look at this loving child playing adult." In other news, I got a key to the TelCo room, and will spend the most of my day now labeling wires, so that I can come in (with OT,) and unfuck this spaghetti cabling. Boss has received my list after verifying the logs with Dropcam, which I feel kind of scummy about making / handing over, but whatever, I don't jack it at work. (I decided to make 2 lists, one for "Talk about when I have a real management job," and "Work Jacking.") Turtlicious fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Mar 8, 2016 |

You know what you should do, how to do it, now you have to tell them that. You don't want to use super technical stuff, but you want to sound somewhat technical, breaking down why centralized management is a good idea (money savings, potential lawsuits etc).

If they're old, frame everything as a public security risk. Jacking it at work? Could get a virus that causes downtime. No AD? Old employee could crack into their old computer and steal data. No prevention of users installing their own software? Combine both of the above. Make sure to point to the recent "security breach" of that Reddit thing as to why employees need to be monitored with your solution. It will make the threat real and they can internalize that. edit: OH and make sure to tell them that every one of their competitors have domains and group policies. If they think they're falling behind competition they will throw money like it doesn't matter. Judge Schnoopy fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Mar 8, 2016 |

Old millionaires aren't going to give you poo poo about your age if you talk to them in their language (money). You need to explain why you need a server in the context of saving them money. In this case, they're 1 failed system or angry employee away from the company going under, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I configured a server from scratch including DNS, DHCP, AD, and some simpler parts of IIS without spending a dime. I didn't have any machines to join the domain but it was still good experience to avoid the deer-in-headlights look in case I get surprised with a server install.
