<p>I can see the 1-2 model being applicable for many small-medium organisations, but as they grow and the red tape becomes longer there's an almost inevitable generic 'call centre/helpdesk' that's slipped under it, acting as the new "level 1". </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Perhaps an easy solution is to relabel your existing levels (for potential employees) by saying:</p>
<p>level 1&2</p>
<p>level 3</p>

<p>when describing the roles?</p>

<div dir="ltr">Coming back on subject a little we are looking to define our process and align more with the industry levels. Being that we are an MSP the industry Level 1, 2 etc. don't clearly apply or match the skills required 100%
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm keen to see what others classify their Levels as and what the requirements of meeting these levels are.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Currently we run a Level 1 & Level 2 model which match the industry Level 2 & 3 somewhat so demonstrating these to potential employees is confusing and frustrating at times.</div>

<div>Do many agree with these levels?</div>

<div>Exactly, DevOps is a different slant on the modern “infrastructure as code” idea when compared to “NetOps”. Although a new and hardly used term, NetOps is probably the best description of the specialised knowledge that comes with networks and automating
them. There are plenty of people talking about NetOps but few job adverts asking for it. </div>

<div>+1 from someone who considers himself someone with this skill set and is confused by the market :(</div>

<div>Unless you’re working with a big enough content provider (e.g.: Googles’ “Network Systems Engineer” positions mentioned as AusNOG), people are probably hiring this as “DevOps” with all the pain that comes along with a buzzword title.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>NoOps is the latest one, though I haven’t seen any jobs in AU for this yet - but is probably more targeted towards consumers of networks than anyone on this list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Otherwise (and more often than not) it sounds like personal connections are still king for this space.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Forget it if you’re looking to be in the architecture/design/leadership side of this (and even more if you’re based in WA).</div>

<div>Happy to be proven wrong :) </div>
