I've been with an outsourced IT company (we do IT work for other small businesses) for about 8 years now. It's a small company (12 employees, I'm the ONLY hardware/Windows/everything tech). There used to be another guy that worked with me and we covered each others skills pretty well. But he has since left and now it's just me.
I'm contemplating leaving for greener pastures as I don't think I get paid as much as I'm worth and for what I do/can do.
I'll list what I do/have done and help point me in the right direction:
1. Built from the ground up single and dual Windows Terminal servers from Win2003-2008R2 with Domain controller.
2. Built from the ground up VMware ESXi host servers with SAN, then put the above into it.
3. Configure, deploy and manage all routers and VPNs at all customers sites
4. Configure and manage all backups on all Windows servers at all sites
5. Manage and repair laser printers at all sites.
6. Configure, deploy and manage all PCs/laptops at all sites.
7. Manage all Windows servers at all sites.
8. Manage all Windows related servers and computer at our own company
9. Configured and deployed Exchange from version 2003,SBS,2010,2013
10. You name it, I do it, except for *nix
*Note: All the above are done single handily by me.
We have a guy that used to do my job but has been delegated to sales since my employment. Even if he was to help, I couldn't trust him to do simple tasks such as adding a user into Active Directory or deleting a file from a user's desktop. Plus customers don't like to talk to him as he injects to much personal talk and nothing gets done correctly and they all call/email me instead as they know it will get fixed.
He'll sell these systems and say "we'll install them" but I end up with %100 percent of the work. And most of the work can't be done from 9-5. They are after hours or weekend things. So basically I'm on my own.
I have about 34 accounts I keep up with daily to make sure things work as they are suppose to.
Franky I'm tired. Some days I rather be outside cutting the grass or diggin a hole in 100*F weather.
I have my AA, and A+ and Network+. That's it. Everything else has been hands on and learned on the job by me from hours of research, test,some more research, more testing....etc..
I'm good at what I do and can be better.
Right now I get a base salary, no overtime pay.
I'm in MN if that helps
Help
