Time to switch jobs..

I just finished having a Pre-Interview via phone for a Network/System Administrator position. I think it went fairly well, one of the better ones I've had. The person on the other end seem to be quite impressed. Near the end of the call we were setting up a 2nd interview this time for an in-person with the VP. It's either going to be Thursday or Friday. I have meetings all day Thursday so I suggested that it be on Friday, but I could be flexible if I needed to. That wouldn't hurt me that I said that would it?

Also when I applied the listing for the job it was in Toronto, the guy explained that the actual job is in Kingston and that the head office is located in T.O. This threw me for a loop as I wasn’t expecting that.

They touched on salary briefly but thanks to some of the forums on here, I was able to side step that question without sidestepping it.

I'll be honest my current job is a BORE!! I do nothing all day just kind of waste away as a Sys Admin, though it gives me lots of time to study.... I currently make 45K a yr. I will not get a raise until mid 2010 at the earliest . I've gone over the job description again to try and get a feel for what they might be offering in terms of salary but it’s vague so it’s hard to get a grasp on that.

Yeah, I have learned to ask what their salary range is prior to the first interview, during the inital call when setting up the interview. Nothing worse than getting a job offer on that "perfect" job after the second interview and it being 10k less than you currently make. In your case you can always see what they are going to throw out there to you before you accept the job and quit your current job. If its less and you like the opportunity then you can always try to negotiate.
