I would say your very close but i would lean towards the lower end of that spectrum

Hmm.. either I've been massively overpaid the last few years, or things have slid way back

I would've thought 35-40 given all they're asking for?

ya same here...

Hard to say given we don't know the location or company type, but given that it's an employers market right now, I'd say around €32k p.a. would be a decent starting off wage for a Systems Admin role like this, although I would be surprised if it was alot less.

novarock

Very basic broad spectrum of knowledge? Kind of desktopish position. Could be anywhere from 22k to 30k depending on experience.

zweton

45k this position is offering,based in limerick. not to be sneezed at!

holy jaysus - easy money! get in there..

zweton

Huh - 45k? I would I have said that is a Junior Systems Admin position with pay at approximately 24k or 21/22k outside of Dublin. Am I missing something? Is this a joke?

zweton

i know was surprised myself.

Either the job spec is completely inadequate, or the IT "team" will consist of you, the boss's son who's a clueless ape, and the IT manager who spends his entire day surfing the web. In other words, you will be the guy doing everything and getting blamed for everything.

I would put it at 40K in financial industry , (stockbroker\bank\dealing desk etc) outside of that would be 35K....Very surprised to hear its 45K especially in Limerick, my guess is its at most a two man operation... ;-)

Guys rates are going through the roof at the moment, first hand exp and seeing huge moves every where.

For Desktop Support/System Admin roles It's been the polar opposite in my experience.

Major skills shortage at the moment, give it time..

Is it EMC? Didn't think they were in Limerick.
