I started as a I.T Technician 6 years ago when I was 17 years old with a medium sized business, after time I grew into the role, learned new skills and took on new responsibilities year on year, I pushed for them to contribute towards certifications and help broaden my skillset.
Although I was doing well out of the company my wage wasn't going up and after 5/6 years of hard work in busy two man I.T department I started to look for something else.
I landed a new job in April as a Network Administrator for a big company the job spec was way above my profile but I still applied.
Anyway I landed an interview and must of impressed and was asked back for the second round of interviews where I had to do a technical presentation.
Few hours later I got a call offering me the job at a slightly reduced salary to the one advertised but the company offer to put me through all the qualifications they required on the job spec.
I was over the moon as the reduced salary was still almost a 50% rise to what I earning and I get more qualified and experience.
3 months in and I have already been on a £2000 IIS Admin course and have been enrolled on a VMware course and multiple networking courses.
When I talked to my new supervisor he told me that I was chosen for a number of reasons but the main one was because of the experience and wide range of skills I had gained over my time with Millers.
The other candidates were all over 25 and had qualification matching the job spec but I still landed it.
I'm only 23 and now earning quite good money in a job that's only going to allow me to develop and move up within the industry.
The last few years at my old place were painful and I didn't enjoy it one bit but I kept at it and in the end it paid off.

Can you not push for more responsibility and maybe to be put through some qualifications ?
If you have the drive I'm sure you will succeed.

Yeah Listen to your heart but also listen to your head.

Is that how much they paid you to cover the pain and suffering of dealing with IIS?
