Salary argument w/ CFO

[KentState]

Wow, maybe for corporate business, and in your area. I know that a fortune 200 transportation company in Omaha hires their help desk people on around $33k. You don't break $45k until you're an analyst, and you're at maybe $55 if you're a programmer.

Small companies aren't going to shell out $40k for a help desk job...they'll maybe hire on a few help desk and pay them $17/hr part time.

We are a small company and that's what we pay. We have an IT Director, 1 sys admin, and 1 help desk technician. Then there is my database/BI group and some developers. In total we have around 80 people. Maybe Atlanta has a higher rate of pay, but with the low cost of living, I don't believe it's above the norm.

Our helpdesk is at 70k, director IT at 180k. 160 ppl.

Disagree. If you are really good a what you do, the Company will pay.

There becomes a maximum a position is worth. You can see this easily in jobs where your time is billed out.

It's more important that the other side thinks you have the ability to walk away.

This.
