I'm not looking, and couldn't even start during the time you are talking, but just curious, if you don't mind me asking, what the starting pay range for something like this is. Not even really my skill set, I'm a VMWare and Citrix guy, like I said, just curious. Will completely understand if you don't wish to say.

Thanks,
Matt

It depends on experience typically. I will discuss compensation and benefits with candidates as I speak with them - normally I would post a range, but this is a different kind of environment :lol: VMWare and Citrix administration is a different skillset and a different sort of position. We use Server 2008 with Hyper-V and 2003 Server, but dealing with that is not really part of the job.

I won't get it because my reef is not computer controlled! hahahahaha. I was just passing along the contact info for a friend. No way I even know what the fin he is talking about!

 

[NeveSSL]

Just ribbin' ya a bit.

I thought you wanted a job at MTSU, anyway.

[andywe]

Hehe Zach..is it even remotely in my price range? You know my skillset.

 

[NeveSSL]

Andy, I would go out on a limb and possibly suggest you're over-qualified. But you knew that.

Brandon

 

[andywe]

Maybe..but I like Zach and it would be fun working together lol..the satisfaction thing goes a long way..but I suspect you may be right. Besides,,how could I leave a place where data center generators literally explode on a saturday night, and I get as much PTO as I can possibly shcedule without impacting performance

 

[NeveSSL]

:lol: Makes sense.

And the datacenter sounds quite exciting.

[ZachB]

Exploding generators? Sign me up :lol:

I had a server catch on fire once up in Illinois. Stuff like that always happens after 5pm on Friday or the weekend, ya know?

I can be a bit of a hard-*** and it's a fast paced environment. But it's a small company and we all have a good time

i had to go over there and check on my companies servers after that fun event.... the the generator was more of a flame thrower than exposion. i saw the security photage and it was cool

 

[andywe]

Yep..Peak Ten..there were two explosions.. I ahven't seen the footage..jsut going by what my DC manager told me. We sent lots of folk over there...we had to be the first ones to turn up before anyone else.
