I don't understand the issue/problem here 😕
 
I dont see the problem either. Hence me asking what he makes. If he makes less then that, and lives in a city, I dont see how you could complain about the pay...... 😕

I figured the high cost areas with shyt salaries comment would be enough...
 
in IT, do you have a chance to move up and get into a management level position?

I'm gonna graduate next year with a double major MIS/Finance. What would be the more lucrative field? I enjoy both equally.

also, if I started in IT, worked a couple of year, could I go to get my MBA specialization in something other than IT, say Inverstment banking?
 
Those salaries don't seem to be realistic, but it depends so much on experience. I can't imagine any IT managers making a mere $40k in Birmingham even.

IMO, that's pretty good, especially for Arizona. my bosses (Datacenter Operations Managers) are in the low-50's, in the NYC area.

Much more than that in Tulsa, Ok.

I'd love to have the job in Scottsdale, but doubt they could afford me..

I make more than that and that's all you will get out of me. As I said, I live in Tulsa, Ok. I can't imaging working for less in a more expensive area...

Sorry, I missed your first reply. 😱

It really depends. As a IT Manager, I woudlnt do it for that price.
But compared to where I am NOW, I'd jump on an offer like that if I could stay local.

Kansas cost of living > all

40K for a manager position?!... I wonder what the people they manage make...
Im in the IT field, and im a lowly grunt (less than 1 year exp) and I wouldnt do this job if they gave me only 40K...
 
i'm demoralized by being underpaid
but i'm happy with the people i work with and the tasks that i do

a 15k/year raise would make me complete
