Well, "installation" and "maintenance" per se aren't that difficult....
It's deciphering all the interdependencies among components, tools,
applications, etc. that make installation and maintenance "fun". And
inevitably resolving many of those interdependencies requires
"institutional knowledge", and usually that kind of knowledge can't be
hired from outside; it must be learned from within. Thus, absent
"political considerations" (applies to the private sector, too), an
"outsider" should not expect to step into the upper half of the pay
scale.
