| Tonio, am in exactly the same boat myself. I am a network admin and have a great team and we all get on well, apart from the new boss who is someone's mate's brothers uncles dogs neighbor and the guy is a complete yogurt.
There are big shakeups at the moment in our co, and i am hoping for vol redundancy as i have been there for 15 years. I want to try it alone too, and with contacts i have made over the years i am sure i can support many smaller localish companys and earn a sallary just specialising in security, AD, exchange server, routing / VPN work etc etc hell i would even return back to desktop support if the money was there if needed.
Hope it all works out for you and like yourself next year is going to be a testing one i think |
