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

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

    Proverbs 6:6-11Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler, Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
    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.

    How did you manage to get 52K with less than 2 yrs experience. I wish I could make that kind of money. Congrats.

    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..
