I would say that all differences are strictly arbitrary. In fact, working at a 20,000-person company (or even larger) might give you LESS relevant experience because administrators are often less broadly exposed to their environments. For example, in some large environments, an Exchange 2000 admin may hardly touch Active Directory. It's silly, but they're so big, they erect arbitrary walls. If you work for a 500-person company, you might do everything from Exchange to workstation motherboard swap-out. If I were hiring, I'd be looking for the best candidate instead of some arbitrary hoop.
It could be that the 20,000-seat experience requirement is a restriction which has the purpose of getting their own internal person promoted. It's a common tactic in large companies that have policies about posting job openings to so severely restrict the qualifications that only someone who's already there qualifies.

The job would be as a Exchange Admin. , part of a team. They said I have all the qualifications except no 20,000 environment experience. Even though over the past 5 years I have had experience at sites ranging from say a few hundred to 7,000, it seems its 20,000 experience or nothing. I was curious as to how many here have experience with 20,000+ and what is the real difference between say 5,000 and 20,000 except for more servers, more connections and more users, hence more calls? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
