jdo Member 88 Member For: 20y 4m 15d Location: Mosman Posted 22/03/05 12:29 PM Share Posted 22/03/05 12:29 PM I'm a Consulting Network Engineer working for a small firm, but currently on an 18 month "permanent placement" with one of our customers, providing Level 3 and 4 expertise in-house for them. Unfortunately, they try and get me to dabble in Systems as well, as I have previous Unix and *cough* Windows sk1llz.The firm I work for has built large (ie. 500+ site) WANs for our customers; my boss and I look after the whole shebang, from design to implementation and monitoring (in conjunction with our technology partners). We even wrote the monitoring software My last job was combo systems/network administration, looking after the entire Tassie network for a national Top 10 ISP. Not much of a change, except now I have a life, get to sleep occasionally and get paid twice as much for half the work (yes, ISPs really do pay that badly...)
