In other words... this is a position for a small company that is too cheap to hire contractors to pull in the LAN cabling and do the trunking and all that.

Another very, very low salary.

Really? for someone with no formal qualifications besides certificates?
Or has it just become cool to jump into all the job classifieds and tell them how low the salaries are.

That's what it seems like.

I personally have no issues with any of the salaries posted, as long as they are posted. It at least shows that the company is upfront about what they're willing to pay, and people don't have to waste their time applying if they're not interested...

It must just be me - but when it mentions the following:

• Networking - CCNA/CCNP/CCNP Security/CCIE advantageous
• Security - Security+ / Trend certification - advantageous
• 6-7 years relevant IT work experience

As a few of the "nice to haves" for the job I think the CTC of R33k is rather low.

It is rather low.. I agree. Can't say that around here, apparently that is like the high-roller salary. Meanwhile its what I would consider below average.

That's cool, don't apply then. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

All these salary comments on the job ads are just getting a bit tiring. At least figures are being posted, which is more than can be said for many job sites...

No you see, herein lies the rub.
People don't want to work for peanuts anymore, regardless of industry.
And I am tired of exploitative types of employment. I am just doing my bit to send the message out there to companies to up their game, and stop seeing every employee as a slave.

Yeah I agree with you. Specially in IT, they expect a super genius but pay peanuts. I'm willing to bet not a single person has all the qualifications and experience OP requires. They want a Network Engineer, a System/Server Engineer combined with a system analyst all in one.

This is almost exactly what I do except
• Budgetary control and forecast in environment of responsibility.
• Done handle much network related tasks expect basics (DNS, Firewall etc...)

And I have none of these...
• Dell certification preferred
• VMWARE certification advantageous
• CCA/CCEE certification – advantageous
• Commvault certified - advantageous
• Networking - CCNA/CCNP/CCNP Security/CCIE advantageous

The salary looks OK to me when compared to other offers I've seen.

I'm also willing to be that someone with a CCIE in security isn't going to want to work for R33k CTC.

Indeed!
Hence my argument still stands.
This mentality of paying good people peanuts, must come to an end!
