We have been having this discussion in the chat room lately and there’s been a lot of interest in the results. Â So please comment with the ranges you think the following roles should bring…
- SharePoint Admin (4-5 years XP)
- SharePoint Dev (4-5 years XP)
- SharePoint Business Analyst or Project Manager (4-5 years XP)
- SharePoint Architect (4-5 years XP)
- SharePoint “Jack of all Trades” (4-5 years XP)
Obviously, location is a huge factor. Â Certs and degrees could be a big factor as well, so if you would like…specify ranges with and without. Â The term ‘expert’ is really broad…assume that the person has a good amount of experience in their area and can learn quickly. Â What other factors play in here?
I worked in HR for a very long time. Totally depends on location, market, industry (non-profit for example will be lower) and size of company. In New York in a large company you will see what Deserted Road is saying, and the reason they don’t want to see people for less than a certain range is because they don’t want anyone who can’t earn that money. HR believes you need a good skill set to compete in that range. In smaller companies it’s lower because they don’t have the budget and it’s a good place for a talented individual to jump start a career. If you are smart but have minimal experience, you can establish your reputation there and then move up. In the area surrounding New York lower again depending on the size of the company so even in the tri-state area of the US, I believe there is a wide range right now.Â
