Thanks to all who replied. I received a ton of responses and most gave me the sage website to refer to for a standard definition (http://www.usenix.org/sage/jobs/jobs-descriptions.html). Some even threw in their two cents and gave me further details according to their own experience. Out of the responses I received I felt the most important traits for a SR amdin are: -Be familiar with many flavors of UNIX (Solaris, HP, AIX, etc..) -Be able to mentor others in the group -Be able to plan for the future of the company and his/her LAN -Be able to handle projects form planning to implementation I wanted to post a quick question and get a few replies. I was asked the other day what make a Sr. UNIX admin/Team Lead and I thought to myself what is it. Is it: -The fact that you are the most senior in your group so you are just labeled as the Sr. UNIX admin and team lead? -Length of time spent working in the field? -Ability to manage projects? -The fact that you oversee the jr admin in the group? I don't know if there is a definitive answer. Granted some will say you must know the OS in and out as well as the applications/services, etc. However, I feel UNIX is quite a beast and many "Sr" admin do not know all these things. Just MHO. Any thoughts? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.aspReceived on Fri Oct 12 14:06:43 2001
