Problem with payscale is that they vary by locality.

There was a big salary google sheet done a year ago on reddit, if you try and find the ones in your region you may be able to get a better example of where you stand:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aLQTZLVEKUgJ7FvCB1Jkyq7kXDgke2Av379xRdUor70/edit#gid=1567124098

All this tells me is that either the people in AZ/Phoenix are under paid compared to me, or I'm way higher up the chain tech wise to everyone that posted theirs.

When I was at my last job, Glassdoor helped me get a raise to what I am worth based on job title and skillset, but really the largest jumps I've made in salary have come from going to other jobs and setting a minimum or 10k more than I made at the last place.

What’s the rule of thumb for 1099 pay vs W2 pay? Not for me, for my wife. She will hopefully be getting a call today about an art job and I don’t know whether it’s going to be 1099 or W2.

Isn't it, if you want to make $100k/year, you need to charge $100/hr? So basically double W2

I always shoot for 15% or more than current as my initial counter-offer. (or higher if their initial offer is more than that)

I always make them tell me what they're willing to pay first so I don't inadvertently leave money on the table.

Always speak as if you're simultaneously considering another offer.

Something like "I really don't want to be the guy who goes back and forth between two companies saying 'oh, they offered x, can you beat that?' and then running back and saying 'the other guy is offering x+5%, can you beat that?' Could you help save everybody's time and just give me your best offer, including benefits or any other perks that you think will help influence my decision? I'll be doing the same with other prospects and just compare all the offers and pick what's right."

Outlook question:
Is this due somehow to delegate access being given to a system rather than account, despite the person giving the access via Outlook's calendar access delegation tool, which literally gives you a list of accounts? Or what else is going on here?

This is not how it works. The standard test for Exchange permissions is to log into OWA (or O365) - if delegation works from the webapp, the rights should be applied properly. My first guess would be to confirm and re-apply the delegations with PS.

Outlook question:

A person is set up to have delegate editor access to several people's calendars. This access is fine on their normal workstation.

When they go to a different computer, they no longer have this access. We use O365, they're logging in to the computer with their account, and Outlook is automatically set up using the credentials of the logged in individual.

Is this due somehow to delegate access being given to a system rather than account, despite the person giving the access via Outlook's calendar access delegation tool, which literally gives you a list of accounts? Or what else is going on here?

Missed this. There are no system binding permissions here. My best guess is maybe a corrupt profile not pulling the correct permissions from the calendars. Have you tried more than 2 workstations (regular one + random one) to try and exclude that?

We've worked really hard to get users to delegate their own calendars to their admins. I'm not going to do poo poo on my end involving actually changing/confirming permissions because it will undo *all* of that. As far as the users are concerned, we have one level of permission that we offer. Full mailbox AND calendar access, no separation between them.

Haven't had them try a 3rd machine. With our terminal session set up that'll be super easy to have them try, as well. Thanks.

No, not just C-levels, it was everybody! 60% click rate so far. But yes of the C-levels it was closer to 80%.

My boss was parting out two new SQL servers for DR, and since I think they have more sockets/cores I asked him if we would be good on licenses. He said we didn't need new licenses since they were going to be idle DR nodes, but even if that's true I had to press him a few times to get him to understand that if we fail over to that environment, our current licenses probably won't cut it.

I can guarantee there are no VMs running anywhere in this organization. I'm the only IT guy, nobody else understands what a VM is.

And forwarding a malicious link to somebody else in the org is just as bad as clicking it yourself, I'm cool with them getting popped for that.

If the link is like knowbe4.com/you-hosed-up.html?referral=username@domain.com I would probably remove the query string or change it to something else. Or if it's a shortener like bit.ly or goo.gl you can put a + on the end to get the stats page with the full URL.

No one I've ever seen post about KnowBe4 has ever expressed any interest in how the product works, and only ever posts about the results. It could be using base64 or rot13 for all I know.

Sounds like the new servers are an upgrade, set them up to replace your existing SQL servers, then use the existing for DR. Force his had on more licenses, but end up with a better overall system.
