I recently received a job offer from a stable mid sized company with multiple sites in six states. The compensation offered is slightly higher than market range, however a few red flags trouble me:
1.The job has been posted for 45 days (a sign that others are turning down this job offer or the company is too picky?)
2.During 2nd interview IT manager and potential coworker openly expressed frustration about legacy equipment and below average user IQ. (Most employees at remote sights are entry level)
3. Job was posted as network technician, however job would actually be 95% helpdesk. I would be the helpdesk agent for entire region and there is no call escalation, no remote console to control the users computer.Seems like company is trying to do IT on cheap- network infrastructure is dialup and DSL.
I’m not desperate for a job a the moment,I wasn’t looking for %100 helpdesk (more like desktop support/network tech) however I doubt I’ll find the same amount of compensation elsewhere. At the same time no amount is worth walking into a losing situation. Any thoughts?
