Folks, is 10% fair for a promotion in London from Systems Administrator, to manager of the customer helpdesk (not IT helpdesk but customer helpdesk, 2 staff, customer facing), and training manager (not internal but customer training, 2 staff again, and customer facing)?
In this case its going from 45k to 50k. From what I can see, a generic manager level job in London i in the 50k range. To go from doing what I do to management of those two teams, is that raise fair for London?
I mean, I've seen service desk managers get 5k bonus for hitting their targets... 5k seems low for taking on the actual jobs entirely x2.

Thats what I thought. What would you think is fair? I was expecting mid 50s in all honesty.

Thats what I thought. What would you think is fair? I was expecting mind 50s in all honesty.
If you're actually a Systems Administrator you should be making a lot more than that, so I'm really not sure

Yeah, I should be. But I have never pushed for any certs or anything, and have only been in the industry for around 6 years.

You probably know more than I do and I made more than that the last job I had. You might want to look for a new job honestly.

Its all self learned and experience. Without the certs its difficult getting past the HR goons. Until now, im actually happy with salary. Im just not happy with 45 - 50... for taking on all that extra work
