Got a new job boys! yahooooo

If you remember, I posted about a job in NYC making 57K. Well, I turned it down. I had an interview Monday and yesterday. Today I got the call! 58K, currently making 52K. It's an internal support position. I'm happy because I'll be doing a little bit of everything. Systems, networking, half Mac, half Windows, and even Linux servers! I get to touch it all and I'm super excited. Plus, it's 10 minutes from my house :D

    I'll be gentle ;]. Super excited guys! Just have to do the background check and drug test. After that, we decide my start date. Just signed the offer letter and faxed it in.

    You've never had to take a drug test for a job? That's interesting, lol.

    Wow. $58k with your certs and experience is great. I know guys barely making $60k doing high level work in Florida.

    Drug testing I believe is not as common in Canada as it is in the USA. Congrats systemstech!

    When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep, So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler And your need like an armed man.

    My friend Alexia got 65K with 1.5 years of experience. I thnk it all depends on how much you think you're worth. I know I work hard and study hard, so I know what I'm worth.

    Thanks everyone!

    Getting to be more common, I had to do same even 25 years ago.
    in Colorado I've read even though legal, a company may not want to hire someone who does drugs.

    Makes sense though. I wouldn't want a drug addict working for me..
