My first line manager was young and a bit immature. He was given to throwing temper tantrums. It was probably that it was too soon for him to have direct reports, he may have done better if he does a stint as a team lead lead first, This happens a lot a person maybe a good technologist but poor at managing people. The data center infrastructure has grown out of control, no real rhyme or reason(i,e, standards). It can get a little frustrating. Its a 24x7 operation but staffed as if it is 12x5 as a result you do tend to work a lot of hours. For the NYC area the pay isn't that great. NYC area is a very expensive market but the salaries are comparable to the midwest.
