Feedback about position and new venture
I work for a midsize engineering company with currently 52 users. This varies some and has gone as high as70 and as low as 45. My job includes maintaining a NT/2000 network, all hardware and software upgrades and installs, database maintenance of software and hardware, plan and maintain three budgets yearly for three seperate internal groups. Design, create, and maintain a Website, and a large Internal Intranet. We have six servers, (2) NT, (4) 2000 and (1) Linux. I also handle all internal software training and helpdesk support. I currently hold at least one monthly class for our engineering department CADD personel. I help develop and maintain our CADD standards and CADD software customization. All that being said, I am curious to what the ratio of users to IT personal other IT folks deal with and what would be considered an average salary for someone in a similar postion. This will help me make some decisions considering the upcoming venture. The venture: My company is offering me out to outside companies for IT consulting - doing pretty much what I do here. The company after a overhead charge and expenses will provide me with a portion of the income. The more I bring in, the more I make. I will still be responsible for all duties for my existing job and if I want to add another tech to help with that I can, but his pay comes out of the consulting income as a direct expense to me.
