An offer that starts out with a 70-hour workweek and zero days off is not something I'd even consider negotiating further. If they want 7x10 coverage, that's at least a 2-person rotation schedule. The fact that they're only willing to shell out for one person tells me that they're not serious about their IT administration, and therefore not an employer I'd want to work for.
- kgermino 3y agoHonestly given the circumstances (emergency short term contract to get them back up) the 10/7 schedule doesn’t bother me that much. It’s also not clear to me that they’re only looking for one person. The pay though… I don’t know what Sys Admins make but that seems absurdly low for what they want. 100-110/ hr seems like it would be a decent long term rate for the skill set, not the “all hands on deck super overtime emergency” one. If it was my skillset I’d probably reach out to see if they were willing to move a lot on the rate and pass if they weren’t
