That pay is a bit low for a travel job with networking background, unless you're talking entry level stuff.

This is what I needed to hear. I’m not in charge of setting the salary, but needed evidence that it was low.

Adding in the benefits would cover another $10k.

Edit: oh, travel is reimbursed and hotel stays are 100% covered by the company. I’ve been here 10 years and it’s not a major part of the job. I’m mostly remote. We also don’t need someone to set up access points or firewalls, just know the basics so as to avoid network conflicts. Someone who can be trained as well.

"Benefits adding $10K" isn't really a thing. Cash in hand is the salary, everything else is to clinch the deal. You could have the best health insurance in the country, but if the salary isn't livable, it doesn't matter.

Experienced network admin salary should be at least $60K in NH, without travel. That's before you get into certifications and specializations. Same job in Boston is easily $100K, for example.

Yea, then salary is a bit low. If travel is comped, that's good, but pay will determine the experience you get. For that, you would be looking at someone either new to 2 years max experience in the field.

For reference, a friend went from $54k as a network admin to 100k after 4 years in the field. I would do some research as rent/housing turns NH into a beginning HCOL state.

Salary exempt, or non-exempt; is overtime paid for?

Hourly and OT is approved in our summer months when we are most busy.

Thanks for adding.

I'm not looking for new work, but OT info seems to always be missing from job listings. Good luck with your quest.
