How much should an L2 engineer with over 4 years of experience working for an MSP be making in NY metropolitan area? I am jack of all trades working on ESXi, Windows Servers, firewall, switches. I do have a couple of CompTIA certs. I am making somewhere around 90k and I feel I am underpaid. In the last four years I haven’t really went out to interview and get offers as I kind of like my current job. However, I feel as I am leaving money on the table, which I shouldn’t be.

You might be in the ballpark for that type of background imo. Maybe low 100s would be on par.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

I recommend contacting a couple of big staffing firms in your area and see what the contractor market looks like. You’d make more money and orgs who have hiring freezes can typically hire contractors for projects that have to get done.

Another suggestion, pick a few companies that you would like to work for, research those and track their job openings. Some states are requiring that postings disclose salary now, so positions posted nationally will have the salary on them.

As someone who hired L1 and L2 staff for an MSP, I’d say 80-90k is pretty much the standard. L1 Deskside with 2-3 years experience started around 65-70k on most contracts.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
