Hey all, I’m trying to gauge wether or not my salary is appropriate for my role. Obviously I’m a sys admin, but I’m making 50k with an expected bonus of 12k per year. Does this match what you all are seeing, or do i need to be looking for a pay increase? About 3 years of experience, the first two were technically a Helpdesk role but as the sole person on the team it was essentially sys admin work

You definitely are underpaid. Check out Glassdoor, Indeed, Payscale.com.

For sysadmin it’s definitely on the lower end. Depends on skills and qualifications, however a sysadmin should start with 70k in most organizations.

Depends on where you live and cost of living. For Bay Areait should start at least $100k

How can I sell my 2 years of clerkship as valuable experience for corporate work? I would like to get credit for at least one year (at least in salary, if I can’t in seniority). I know for litigation they are more clearly valued and linked to that type of work, but I have reconsidered my interests and now am thinking of going into corp. However, I don’t want to feel like I wasted 2 years clerking (which I don’t feel like that, but I have to convince an employer of that too). Any help or insight?
