Hello all,
I’m in a similar situation by the discussion posted by “Beachhead”:
https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-11181-0.html?forumID=6&threadID=198771&start=0
I’ve been working for my employer for about a year (a real estate agency) in the IT department. At first, I was getting paid $10.00 an hour and 8 months later, my pay was increased to $12.00. I am in my final semester of DeVry obtaining my Bachelor of Science degree in Network and Communications Management.
My duties are assisting company agents and employees with computer and networking issues of at least 1500 users. Create/manage email user accounts, repair and maintain computers on a daily basis (locking down windows through MMC & other programs). Structure and monitor asset tags of computers, printers, and monitors at 6 different locations as well as documentation of the network equipment. Work on projects such as rewiring (punch down) and running Cat-5e (at least 4,000ft of it) for better cable management, T1?s, and a couple for access points.
I?ve done searches through salary.com and I?ve seen LAN Support 1 & 2, Network Admin 1 & 2 descriptions that have salaries of $46+, which is basically what I?m doing just not getting paid that salary. My question is, after my graduation, how do I approach to my manager and negotiate my salary?
