Thanks for posting the opportunity in Berwyn, Vic0128.
n01 - I don't know the salary range. Sorry, not privy to that info but it will be shared with those applying. My company tends to pay average market value as a general practice (with above average benefits and great advancement oppt). So whatever the average going rate is for someone of those qualifications in our marketplace, that's probably indicative of the range.
Thanks for posting. I know some folks who would be qualified. I'll send them here to check out your post.

Not likely for a support role, but it maybe that additional skills will get you more money (notice the mention of J2EE and database skills).
This looks more like an applications support role than Network, given there are no mentions of network skills.
Working 3rd shift you are on a bit of an island. The normal folks aren't around to help solve problems, so a more skilled person is sometimes valued more in the off hours.
My company in downtown Chicago has 4 openings in its Corporate Technology group, including:
- Director of Technology Operations
- Manager, Project Management
- Senior .Net Developer
- Technical Analyst II
Here's a link to review the job descriptions and apply if interested: https://hostedjobs.openhire.com/epostings/submit.cfm?fuseaction=app.welcome&category_id=45534&company_id=15937&version=1&startflag=2&parent=Corporate%3B%3B%3BTechnology&levelid2=45534
Now that is a real green shoot! ;D
I wonder if the jobs are posting at less salaries than a few years back.
