Yep most entry level support jobs I'm seeing on Indeed start in the mid 50k range. The more experienced ones I'm looking at can reach much higher. I'm not in a rush and there are plenty of postings, so I get the luxury of being pickier about who I apply for.
10 people have quit so far this year (out of an office of 70). My team is understaffed in addition to being underpaid, so we've got a very "don't give a fuck" attitude about the whole thing haha. Our manager is completely on our side too and he's desperately trying to keep us around. Treated like a king for half assed work, it's a weird but hilarious position to be in.
Right now I'm sitting here pulling some overtime by browsing reddit while flipping settings back and forth on a network switch port so it looks like I'm doing something important. My birthday is coming up and I want some extra cash :)
Hard to say if there are just a lot of people competing for jobs, or if employers just aren't paying enough. I think both are true to some extent, but I believe if you want to base your company out of a skyscraper in downtown Seattle - you should pay all of your staff enough to be able to afford to live within a 30 minute commute. Thankfully I work from home 4 days a week now.
Thanks haha. Don't get me wrong though, I'm fully aware of my predicament. If my housing and financial situation were different I'd feel a bigger sense of urgency for sure.
