Only the employer can decide what a particular role is worth to them, but I know that if I were a NS Admin with over 5y of experience, I'd be looking for far more than $72k/yr

@erictgrubaugh did you notice … Create and manage NetSuite configurations, templates, searches, forms, roles, layouts, reports, _s_cripting, workflows, and dashboards to address business process requirements within NetSuite. … At least 5 years of prior experience with NetSuite development and administration Admin+developer+consultant = 100% of NetSuite … what is missing 🙂 ? But agree, only the employer decide how much 🙂 Thank you for your comment

Well that's on them. Walk away and let them find out how much that really buys them, and they'll almost assuredly be reposting this job again in 1-2 years begging to pay $100k+ for a competent admin.

Agree to all of the above, Dont under sell your salary

I always tell employers that you'll almost never be sorry you overpaid for a truly good NetSuite admin. You'll barely miss the extra 10k or 20k, and they'll put in the extra work to justify that extra bit. But you'll definitely feel it when you underpay, and have to spend $200+/hr to have consultants come in a fix the mess that an underqualified person caused.

Yes, always sell your value. Good people know they will save their employer money time and again by helping them avoid issues. Then again, some companies may be struggling to pay decent or livable wages and that could be an overall red flag (if other job openings they have are also paying below what is typical) that the company has financial troubles.

$72K is super low. but honestly it depends on what your goals are. If they do H1B for you and it is your goal it might be a good value. Also, is this $$ adjusted for your locations? Folks here only consider the U. S. standards, keep that in mind. No one here will accept this job for this $$ simply because of cost of living. You might not face it and your perspective employer has it in mind

With that pay, I would assume either you are not in the US, or they have no clue what they are hiring for.

There is a ton of context we just don't have about the employer or the potential employee. USD60k might be life-changing money for many qualified candidates around the world. It might also be perfectly reasonable and livable in the region where the business is located. There are many situations where this would be a mutually beneficial contract. Every employer gets to decide how much a particular role is worth to them, and every job seeker gets to decide if that salary is agreeable. If it's not agreeable for any reasohn, it's not worth fighting or arguing over; that time is better spent moving on to the next company. Rather than agonize over or pick apart a particular job offering, I typically help students determine what their "Enough Number" is based on the lifestyle and experience, and then use that number to set the bar for opportunities worth investing time in.
