How much do you think this position should pay? If you need some more cliff's notes then let me know. This is a start-up that's been in business about 5 yrs.

Cliff's notes:
Company has about 50 employees. The IT dept consists of my boss (an IT Director) and myself a systems engineer.

Well I have a B.S. in I.T. MGT and 2 yrs of full time experience after college. However I've had IT internships, from 99-2002. (Graduated in 2002). I'm an MCP almost an MCSA so I was just curious about you guys throwing out some figures...

Also I don't think there's much room for advancement after speaking with a friend the other day. There's basically an IT Director and that's as high as it goes. So right now it's me and him. They are talking about hiring a 2nd engineer early next year so I guess I could become "Sr. Engineer". <shudder> I have a few thousand shares in the company but they are worthless at this point.

One more thing...how accurate are the salaries on salary.com? Have you guys found them to be close or way off? I mean I know it depends on company size, etc...

Bump for opinions on salary.com...
