Network Engineer

Sun, 19 Aug 2001 07:10:33 -0700

Hi Ray,

From what I've seen/heard lately, companies are moving to this new
model:  

Admin Wanted:
Certified Sun System Admin, MCSE, CCNE, CNE.  Requires 5 years
experience in Windows 2000, Solaris 8, HPUX 11.0, Novell 5, Cisco 
Local Director, TCP/IP, PPOE, DNS, SMB.  Will be responsible for 50
server production farm.  40 hours/week plus carry pager 24/7.  Pay 
$35-40K/year DOE.

It's called "consolidation."

Two things will happen:
1.  After an unemployed person with these qualifications, who was
making $150K, starts getting hungry, the position will get filled.

2.  After these positions go unfilled for a while, the companies 
will revise their expectations and accept what $35K will buy, or
they will come up on their pay.

George
