Title: Systems Specialist
Hours: 8am-4:45pm
Real hours: 8:05am-4:38pm
Lunch length: 45min. sometimes an hour. i'll say til 5pm if i take a 1 hour lunch.
Compensation: Hourly + oncall pay + health/dental/vision + 403k (company match is double what i put in up to 5% of my pay.)
 
"Title: IT Lackey
Hours: 7:30-12:30 TTh
Lunch length: none
Compensation: Hourly

Yeah, I'm moving to a different job this summer "

Given that you're the smartest person on this site, do yourself a favor and get your foot in the door of a major storage vendor. There is no reason for you to be just an IT Lackey. Figure out what it is that is keeping you from a killer job and amend it. I do appreciate the help you give in the storage forum and it kills me that you are only working 10 hours per week...
 
IT Service & Support
Hours: 7:00AM-5:00PM
Lunch: Usually 1 hour, sometimes 20 minutes to go get food and bring it back to the office.
Compensation: Hourly

There are the usual odd hours for testing, migrations, etc. I enjoy it, and I feel it is a great start to my IT career. I have superiors/bosses that actually want to know what my goals are as well as to help me reach them.
 
Title: System Administrator
Hours 7:30am - 4:00pm.
Real Hours: 7:15 - 3:50pm
Lunch: Typically 45 minutes to an hour. Flexible.
Days: Monday thru Friday.
Compensation: Salary.

I do not ever have an option for "over-time', but do get chances to earn "comp-time". Once a month, I have to work a weekend straight through. I earn two days comp time for this, which I can then bank to take a 4 day weekend after working 12 days straight.
 
Title: Assistant Network Administrator
Hours: 7:30AM - 4PM, 7:30-3:30 in the summer
Actual Hours: 7:30-5 maybe a few days a week, and some days where I work many hours overtime
Lunch length: 1/2hr lunch, except an hr in the summer
Compensation: Salary + benefits

I work in Cheyenne Mountain AFS..."NORAD" might ring a bell for some. It's where we keep the stargate, bigfoot, and several aliens.
I just got this job about 4 months ago and I'm going to be working 4:45am to 3:15pm 4 days per week as soon as someone on my current schedule gets his security clearance finalized. Could take awhile...but they keep saying "any day now". Whatever...
Since I'm in the mountain, I pretty much have to eat lunch inside. Too much of a pain to run in and out of the mountain for lunch. Inside, I can pretty much eat all day if I wanted though..

I thought this place was scheduled to get closed down soon?

Wow, no damning with faint praise here :eek: I'm an IT lackey for 10 hours per week because I'm at school; once I finish there I don't know where I'll go. I do enjoy playing with disks, but I really enjoy algorithms, and writing ones that get the Right Answer all the time. I'd love to work for an OS company writing filesystem stuff, or for a disk controller vendor writing RAID code (only double parity in raid-6? pssh...) or something of that nature.

This summer I'll be working in the CS department's Systems group. I think that should be a little more interesting than my current job (which I'm leaving on the 15th). It doesn't pay any more, but it's a more field-related job, and it'll give me some Solaris experience, which I really want to have.
 
IT Specialist
8a-5p
1hr lunch (shorter about 30% of the time)
Compensation: Hourly + decent benefits
On call every other week (with pay bonus for those weeks)

I'm one of two IT guys at our company (right around 100 people) and even though I'm the low man on the totem pole, I pretty much have my hands in everything, I'm the primary network engineer, FW Administrator, and split the responsibilities for our AD environment, etc, etc. Basically I do everything my boss does except manage me, get a corporate credit card, and get paid more. :p
 
Title: Network and Systems Administrator
Hours: 9-5
Actual Hours: 24/7/365
Lunch: Whatever I can take before getting behind
Compensation: Salary

I like my job. I wouldn't mind if the general office populace would stop calling me every time their 90MB email doesn't send in less than 2 minutes, but other than that it's pretty fun.

As for my other job:

Title: CTO
Hours: 24/7/365
Compensation: Salary, or whatever I feel like drawing from the corporate account

Together a friend and I are building a network consulting firm. Fun work, pays well, and if there is leftover capital we can take kick-backs. :)

There was a General in charge up here that got pissed off one day because there was an exercise going on and half the mission was being held at Peterson AFB (about 15 miles away from Cheyenne Mountain AFS) and half at CMAFS. He kept on having to drive back and forth during the day. He got angry and said he was going to close the mountain. Someone in the press heard about that and reported in the local news that CMAFS was going to be closed down.
What REALLY is going to happen is that they are moving the Missile Warning function to the Peterson AFB facility but are going to have a backup of it in the CMAFS facility. Everything will be kept online so in the case that there was an attack on Peterson or whatever happened, the mission could be conducted at CMAFS. There is alot more to NORAD/CMAFS than the Missile Warning function. So no...it's not closing any time soon.
Plus, that General is gone now. So all of that moving around might not even happen now.
Hell my contract alone doesn't expire until 2023.

Really stressful. I manage 2 projects, (really, 1 of those projects can be split into 5 separate projects). Really work like 60hr work weeks. I manage program developer tasks, schedule and see over QA/UAT sessions, perform business analysis and communicate to developer team what is needed to meet business requirements, oversee bug fixes to make sure business logic is corrected, manage enhancements to existing projects and measure impact of the enhancements to current applications, help developers fix bugs.....blah yada yada......

I really should be making twice what I make now...but who cares...

Thanks.

Java Developer:
7-10 get off 4-7 Basicaly I have some flexability, it's nice.
Salary: Ok,

Until recent I was working elsewhere w/ flex 8am-1pm (come in) and getting off acordingly and working from home days a week, but I hated my job, it was like office space x10, and I was always on call even 3-5am and weekends (with no compensation) due to off shore india always being 12 hour time difference. it was hourly + overtime but the pay still sucked even getting lots of overtime. it's not worth an hour of overtime when you have to drag your ass ou of bed at 3am, and having to stay home on weekends because you "might" have to work..

Flex hours are a must considering rush hour traffic would take me 2-3.5 hours to travel 33 miles in LA...
 
Title: Sr. Systems Architect and IT Purchasing
Hours: 8:00am - 5:00pm
Lunch: 1 hour mandatory. At my company your manager is supposed to force you to stop working and take your one hour lunch break, this all happened after an ex-employee went bonkers from work induced stress.
Compensation: can't complain
 
Title: Advanced System Administrator
Theoretical Hours: 8-5 (on call four days every 8 weeks, don't have to go to office for regular shift when on call and you get an extra day off, you will be working the entire time you are covering)
Lunch: 1 hour
Real Hours: All over the place, closer to 8-4 plus a little irregular evening time
Compensation: Keeps me in computer equipment and a house instead of a cardboard box on the side of the road. :D

My team is supporting 750+ servers worldwide. Most of the resources seen by clients are clustered running active+active. When we fix things, the machine we are working on is usually not doing anything. After we have it fixed we have to wait for evening maintenance windows (test) or late night weekend maintenance windows (production) to re-balance the cluster resources back onto the server we fixed.

We come in late or leave early when we have planned out of normal work hour time.

This week for example (which is fairly typical):

M 8-5
T 8-5
W 8-5
Th 8-4, 6-8 (I was expecting more like 6-6:30, but computers are computers) :)
F 8-3
S 6-7 (hopefully)

Hey, I'm only 20..gotta start somewhere right?

Benefits: Paid spring break, christmas break, etc. 10% contrib to 403b with 100% employee match from day one. I'm 22 and will be able to retire at 35.

I work for a public school district so the hours change drastically during the summer when the kids leave. We usually work 60-70 hour weeks all summer to fix and do things that we can't do when school is in session. (Reimaging, rewire IDF's, inventory, etc) This last summer we opened 2 brand new schools and installed about 200 ceiling mounted projectors in about 5 different schools. I personally did 150 of those 200. The hours suck during the summer, but during the school year the job is cake.
