Hi guys,

This is my first post here, though I've been enjoying all yours quite a bit. At my place of work (a major ISP) we are having a debate re: pay levels.
I've spoken to a number of people from Optus and Teletech and have a basic idea of the average level of pay, but I'm not too sure how accurate that is..

I'm a front-level phone-support tech. I support most major Windows OS, Mac 9 and above, ADSL and dial-up. Our company prides itself on providing a higher level of support than other companies.

I get a base wage of 30k. THIS IS AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS

I've been told that is 'quite competitive'. Compared to the wages I've heard from other companies, thats about as competitive as a badger with no legs in a decathlon.

Would you guys help me by providing some info? If you feel comforable providing your base wage then please do so, if not even just a 'higher' or 'lower' than 30k would be helpful. This is only for people in analogous situations also..

Hope someone can smack my management down.
