On a more general note, cause it's always nice to see what the market thinks, I noticed this advertised this morning on the jobs list and I was curious; How many sysadmins would have enough programming experience to fulfil this job, or programmers with sysadmin experience. And more importantly, of those, who would want to work for such a low wage - at least, it's low for Sydney for such a strong skill set?
My experience would put that salary at a high level helpdesk person, with what they are asking more towards the 80-100K range. Or am I being somewhat ambitious with my views?
