    Metro Detroit here; pay for a Jr Network/System admin is Mid 40's to Mid 50's. It seems the be that the benefits are where the real difference is at around here.

    Good luck!

    Best question to ask someone is "describe your network in detail"
    From this you can determine their level of knowledge.

    On your end be prepared for "what would you do if" or "how would you fix x"
    Networking is always straight forward. If you know it you know it.

    For something junior I always start with working through the basics. ARP, mac learning, basic routing. That is so much more important to me than knowing routing protocols etc. I can teach a junior person the highly technical stuff as long as they have a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
    An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I know what I know, and I dont know what I dont know. But there are several technologies and procedure I havent touched in a long time. The reason for the asking is to have an idea and maybe brush up some skills/knowledge.

    Again, Thanks.

    Congrats...a lot of blog posts out there on the subject. One I saw was draw/describe a network you have worked on or built and describe the things you implemented and why. I think the question included talking about any routing protocols, hsrp etc, vlsm and anything else relevant.

    The question I posted obviously wouldn't be for a very jr engineer but somebody with at least a CCENT should be able to describe some of that stuff.
