How has this guy never heard of Dell DPACK?
-
First post, claims to make over 100K and is wondering if he should ask for more money as he works for a non-profit, and has be the sole person managing all of these massive projects.

Why wouldn't he ask for more money? Sole person at a 2500 employee company. I'd be asking for more money too.

Not just that but it sounds like he's actually doing a lot of work and improving everything. The one bad part of it is he's using salary.com to try to figure out how much people in his position make and it's not going to be accurate.

Sole person in a non-profit business and doing all of those supposed tasks. Either he's lying (likely) or he's a complete jackass for not properly negotiating his income.

Depends on how many sites he covers. He might be able to do that with vendor assistance while covering a single building.

Maybe, I can't really take it at anything other then face value. If he's lying then so be it. But if he's telling the truth he has every right to ask for more money. Or move along if they don't offer him more.

Size of company or number of IT staff is not really relevant.

Not really sole IT guy then.

He said in the topic (later on) he was the sole person implementing and defining all systems for the organization. So really he is a sys admin.
So the title is complete BS has director implies he has a team who reports to him. He dictates what the goals should be, and sells to the board so his team can implement.

Implementing and defining are really engineering. Operating them is system admin. But I get the point. However, he's doing tons of other things too, as he's the sole guy. So... he's a generalist. There is no way to be a sole IT guy and be anything but a generalist.
-
He has a false title, totally fake, and is using that as his logic for why he needs a raise. He's a "junior tech" most likely, in a non-profit.
None of those tasks that he lists are a big deal. Those are often small one or two day projects. Over the course of a year, that's not an impressive list in any way.
-
@scottalanmiller which he already makes a decent salary, just under $100K.
I'd be pretty happy with that, I think.

Depends on the market. Manhattan, even at a non-profit that's only so good. In Missouri, he's doing great. So very much depends.

Loads of non-profits base out of San Fran and that makes $99K below the poverty level.

Only because of the ridiculous housing costs in the big California cities. If you want anything decent that isn't run-down and in the ghetto in between a liquor store and Papa Johns, you're paying at least $2,500 for a small but livable 2 bedroom apartment. It's horrible and should be illegal to charge like that. The price goes up steeply for larger places with more bedrooms.
It's much harder than you think to get a wage higher than the poverty level without being a lawyer, doctor, or executive.

LA, SF, SD... any nice city. Basically anywhere people want to be, they take advantage of that and charge 500% what it should be.
Oh, misread... yes in California. But other places too like NY, NY and such.

If I could take my current wage, and live in Mississippi, I'd be golden!
But, I would never want to live there.... so yeah.

IT in SF does pretty well. Probably more than most lawyers
