Interview Question :: Salary Expectations

Hi,
I am due to enter negotiations regarding my salary.

I have around 8 years experience in IT from a career point of view, and have trained towards an MCSA (waiting for exams).

I am looking after 14 servers in 3 locations. We are opening another office down south which I will be expected to support

The servers include 4 DC'c, 2 Exchange servers, 1 SQL Server, File Servers, FTP Servers; as well as the company phone system, copiers, software licencing and 3 netscreens and 1 WiFi bridge and to support approx 45 staff

I am also expected to source new technology like media players, etc for the work the company actually does.

We are increasing the servers to around 20 in the next fews months as well implementing company wide VoIP technology and better WAN comms.

What I need to know is should I be asking for more than the £25,000 plus car I am currently on?

My TItle is IT Manager and I am in the East Midlands area

Cheers

RE: Salary Expectations?
I would think so .... I think your salary would be more than that in Canada for a similar job, and I thought salaries were higher in the UK than here since your cost of living is so much higher. Best of luck.

the salary offer is good because the job can't be that demanding can it.

RE: Salary Expectations?
With no formal college degree, you're lucky to be making what you make. Some of the stuff you mention like file servers, ftp servers, phone systems, copiers, software licencing, etc are all pretty trivial things. Your salary equates to $47k US, and I know plenty of people in the same field not making nearly that... plus a car, that adds on at least another 30k total value... As somebody who was once in charge of hiring computer programmers, I looked for only people with degrees, and they didn't make that much. I think you're overpaid. Don't try the "i have an interview" thing... unless you really have an interview, because you may need it.

Totaljobs.com has a salary checker which goes on your job title and area. It gives minimum average and maximum average Try that!

RE: Salary Expectations?
Dom, put it this way, your salary is higher than the national average and the workload you describe doesn't appear to warrant the job title that you have. You may want to simply concern yourself the beneficiary of good fortune and count yourself lucky. If I were your boss and you were asking me for a raise, I'd be wanting to know in what way you would be improving your productivity to justify the money. In what way would you be contributing towards the company's objectives and goals, it's strategic vision? Nobody's indispensible and in our current world of pretty much standardised IT, you're pretty much immediately replacable by just another microsoft guy. So, go into your negotiations with "what you're going to give" rather than "what am I going to get" and I suspect you'll get further in the conversation.

RE: Salary Expectations?
You might get 10% to 15% more, but do you support the software or is that all contracted out? Perhaps look at comparing the service you provide with outsourcing to someone like Quiss Technologies - and show them what good value you are!
