Got a Phone Interview.
-
Woot. I have a Phone interview tomorrow for a Systems Administrator job for one of the local colleges tomorrow. (Approx 30,000 students on campus) 15 Junior Systems Administrators. And no idea how many Techs as they said it's just a "pool" of techs they use (both students and not) on a as needed basis. This is a pretty large engineering/science college though, it's probably more know for it's football than anything lol.

Congrats & Good Luck

Ok, got it.

How did it go?
-
They wanted to consider hiring me for it and move me on to the next stages but it only paid 28k, so yeah no way. I'm pretty dead set on $45-48k as a min for Sys admin job.

$28K isn't even Jr Sys Admin. Heck, that's not even most L1 jobs!!!

@ajstringham I know my first technician job was $32k. It's probably because it's on a college campus with a bunch of new graduates always looking for a job and will take any pay I bet.
-
I would seriously take a retail job at $25k before I'd ever even consider either a jr sys admin or a systems admin job at 28k. It's kind of insulting. but, I guess Mr. Head football coach needs his $2,300,000.00/year (before bonus) so everyone else gets less.

That's really common. Probably not work talking to colleges. They have a really skewed view of the world. All of Austin has that problem - a whole city oversaturated with recent college grads willing to take minimum wage so that they can stay in the city because it is awesome.

Stupid people. I get wanting to stay in a geographical place. However, if you can't find something ample, leave. Unless you have obligations here, like family responsibilities, then you have no excuse.
