If I were painting with a broad brush, I'd say that the biggest difference is that a junior sysadmin is learning what to do, a non-senior sysadmin knows what to do, and a senior sysadmin knows why.
Everyone is always learning, of course, but I'm not sure you can easily divide the classes. So much of it seems to be based on experience, wisdom, and decision-making ability. There's no odometer for sysadmins, and even if there were, there's no guarantee of the quality of experience. I'm interested in what everyone else will say, too. --Matt On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 9:02 AM, Evan Pettrey <[email protected]> wrote: > An interesting topic of conversation came up with a colleague of mine > yesterday: > > "What are the primary differentiators between a sys admin with a senior > level skillset and one with a junior level skillset?" > > > I realize there are SAGE levels already defined but I'm curious as to what > you think are the most important differences?
