Hey guys. I have a chance to get into a sysadmin job for ~80 users. As far as I know, I would be the only one there although I've been told there's budget for temporary consultants if I need help with something. This is for a new contract in a new building and I'd basically be setting things up from the ground up.. Nothing is in place yet. No domain, no ticketing system, etc.. Does this sound like a good opportunity or a death wish?

Good news! I just found out that there is potential that a second person would be there as well. If I am the only person, then yes I would be the one stop IT shop. I also just found out that it will be a call center, so I think that should make things easier...Maybe?

The fact that it's being built from scratch with a real budget is what's attracting me to this. The current environment I'm in is the biggest IT clusterfuck that I could possibly imagine and the idea of setting something up right with all streamlined centralized automated processes gives me a boner. Just to give you an idea, on multiple occasions I've had to visit upwards of 20 workstations to do things like "update adobe" or "create a shortcut for the new network drive" per my supervisor's instruction.

E: Also, if I do get this position then expect me to be in this thread documenting the process and asking for advice throughout. :D :D
