If you consider necessary jobs that you don't understand, like system administration and user experience testing, to be something you can just get anyone to do because they "require some technical knowledge but no real training", you'll get what you deserve.
A good system administrator will assist in scaling and performance and take care of a lot of other stuff that you had no idea needed to be done. A good UX person will produce reports in such a way that the developers will be able to fix things much faster than without.
If you think you just need someone to add accounts on your mail server, why are you not outsourcing this to something like Google Apps?
- lsc 18y agoIf he doesn't know how to do the jobs, you are correct, he's screwed unless he hires someone who does, and the median Sr. SysAdmin in this area is paid $140K (full load) per year. The market tends to agree that an experienced SysAdmin is worth a lot. However, if the original poster does have someone on staff who knows how to do the tasks in question, but lacks the time, (and enjoys and is good at teaching) then there is value to be had in Jr. SysAdmins.
