I recently submitted a request for salary increase. The HR department came back that my expectations were unrealistic. I am trying to define my job in order to accurately search for salary comparisons.
I work for a small family owned business. We have locations in 3 states with my chief responsibility being in three locations within 50 miles of each other. We have 2 Unix networks — one converting to Linis with the other soon to follow — and a Windows 2000 network. I take care of all three networks adding users, handling backup and system administration — updates users errors issues etc — as well as about 35 desktop machines. I evaluate and install software as needed and hire outside consulatants when necessary. I AM the IT department alone. If there is a computer issue either hardware or software I am the go to guy.
I have been refering to myself as a systems administrator. If there is a better description I would appreciate your input. If you have further questions in order to clarify I’d be happy to follow up. I don’t seem to be able to find computer geek or Jack of all trades in a monster search.
Thanks for your unput.
Walt
