What is your experience + location?

jribe · 10-25-2015, 01:46 PM

depends on your location.. in the bay area yes, but with 5 years or so experience. in the bay area for entry level it would likely be 16-20

That's about what ours make, but they are at the bottom of the IT pay scale and require 3 years experience.

I can't get out of damn help desk. In Georgia it's possible though. I make 22 an hour doing it right now. 25 for someone with proper tenure is not tough in a larger corporate environment.

Since you're already doing the job in that market- wouldn't it be easier to just ask around and/or look at jobs? You'd know better than any of us (unless there's other people in that line in LA)
