Internal position question?
Queue
Member Posts: 174 ■■■□□□□□□□
If one is told the following about an internal position what should they assume?
-"They have already made a decision and everyone should hear something shortly."
Does that mean that someone has already been contacted by HR and they are going through the details, before making the acceptance/offer announcement?
After being told the above I've lost hope on the promotion.

It could mean anything really, but, I read it as "We've decided who we're going to pick, we'll inform that person and everyone else, shortly". -

Who knows what they mean? Just keep your options open until you hear otherwise.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Good to hear it may not be the end. Jobs I'm qualified are scarce this time of year it seems. Will update the thread whenever I have a definitive answer.

If they did not give you a salary range up front for the position, I am assuming they are going to pay you a little more than your current earnings to sweeten the new position, or at least this has been my experience.
Congrats on being offered the job! -

Agreed with Ande, my guess is 15% more than you are making now. -

Healthcare and a capital city. I already have signed the papers I was just wondering if it was competitive. I was looking for random numbers people throw out.
Thanks everyone! I'm very happy. A lot of studying and working hard while at work. Also networking with the other teams was important. -

National average for CCNA was 55k last I checked. It's a full-on Admin position, not a junior. So I'd shoot for at least 50-55k. With experience under your belt and a couple more certs within a year, I'd try to get bump to 55-65.Completed: ITIL-F, A+, S+, CCENT, CCNA R|S
In Progress: Linux+/LPIC-1, Python, Bash
Upcoming: eJPT, C|EH, CSA+, CCNA-Sec, PA-ACE
