If you've been in this business longer than 12 mos, don't waste your time.. You'll be overworked and paid $10k-20k less than you're worth.. Technicians do network admin work.. Network admins do network engineer jobs and the environment is almost unbearable.. You'll be micromanaged ... You can barely take a day or weekend off... Everyone quits.. Customers Fire ITG after realizing that they've been sold poorly configured solutions that the CEO spearheads and not enough knowledgeable staff to support... It's a circus... The owners should just sell the company, retire and spend the rest of their lives hunting and fishing... Running a business just isn't for everyone... The minute you recognize your worth, you'll either get fired or promised something like a raise or profit sharing, but that time will never come... And OMG the contract that you HAVE to sign? Lol.. Only a newbie would sign that foolishness..
