This is great input from a candidate perspective. Very helpful, thank you! I am working on a large amount of opportunities that are full time, perm...not contract.
The pay range you can expect is $100-160k base depending on other factors. I only focus on more senior level roles. My main areas of focus are Seattle and the Bay area. A majority of the clients I work with will relocate for the right talent. My clients range in size from funded start ups to nation/world wide huge organizations so the "citizenship" (h1b/green card/us citizen) factor seems to play a part in moving forward.

For me. I'd like to see a salary range at least. I mean, i sure don't want to take a step back in pay. If i'm looking around nationally, i don't have really any clue about the nation wide salary for each area. So, putting it out there, so everyone can make that evaluation for themselves seems reasonable to me. Now, I have looked at many a job ad, and not many of them put the salary. I have applied for some, and turned some down because of low salary. Outside of that, I scan for the things that interest me. Linux and Linux related technologies. If your listed "servers" but no OS, i'll skip it. Training options and I like to check benefits too. Personally, i like to know about the health options and retirement plans. I took a job once with no retirement options available, only promises, never again. Another item. Until recently, i haven't really considered moving to be an option. But if you're going to post to a mailing list like these, you should state that up front. So, you'll either get someone interested in moving on their own, or not waste anyone's time applying for a position they won't move for. Also, if remote/work from home is an option. Whether in a geographic area, or anywhere, i've been scanning for these key words a lot lately too. bb On Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 8:56 PM, Jason Healy <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On Sep 10, 2013, at 1:05 AM, Yves Dorfsman <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > - $ compared to the rest of the industry in this geographical area. If you > don't mention it, I'll assume you pay less than average. As a small K-12 that's about to post for a net/sys admin next week, this is always the killer for us. I'll try to mention all the fun stuff we do and job perks (low stress, lots of variety, semi-flexible schedule, free food). However, when it comes to selling the low salary it's tricky. That said, are there any objective measures of salary for sysadmin work in .edu? I'm told that we're paying market rate compared to other small K-12, but haven't been able to vet that. Additionally, if that truly is market rate in our sector, it's well below that of other industries (that's part of why I'm looking for someone new). Just trying to figure out if we are paying something "reasonable" or if we're doomed to lose people once they get better offers.
