Wasted talent?

by lee . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

The question is…..

What do you do when you have just been given a 23% wage rise, are revolutionising the way your company operates, and your boss tells you that you are “wasted” in this position?

Now you see, at first glance the answer appears very simple, get up off your backside and do something about it, find a better job…

However, I am fairly new to managing my own IT department, I have been in my current role for just over 2 years. I am managing a Windows based network with 14 workstations, 3 printers & a server running server 2003, Exchange, FTP & Remote Desktop.

I have nothing more than the 10 A-C GCSE’s I left school with, an A-Level in statistics, an A-Level in IT and a AS-Level in economics.

These qualifications do not do my current role/skillset any justice.

Is it time for me to consider gaining further qualifications, should I stick where I am and gain the experience, or should I try my luck hunting for a new position?
