And we all know that only half of being a senior is the experience, the rest is knowing how to find the answers and being the "go-to" guy.
Don't get me wrong. The experience needs to be there. But even the greatest admin in the world is only mediocre until he learns his particular setup and systems. And knowing how to find the answers sets him apart from the general sys admin crowd.
And the 50th percentile is where it is because of the wanting a wizard, paying for a novice, and getting a user.
And the art of giving titles as part of compensation. I know a mid level guy that calls himself CTO because he is the only guy in his company that knows how to turn on a computer.
