3rd year system engineer in new york manhattan $60,000/yer

It's hard to say there are certain factors.  3 years in any field especially IT doesn't always get you a great hugh salary.  60K is not bad in my mind.  As i said there are certain factors.

1.) how long have you been in industry - im guessing thats what 3rd yr means - 3 years
2.) where is location - you say NY - what part of NY it makes a difference
3.) what is you schooling - degree - certifications - etc
4.) what is your experience
5.) how many employees - you said 40
6.) how elaborate is network - you sorta answered - how much is your responsibility
7.) travel involved
8.) Overtime - oncall?
9.) managing anyone?
10.) im sure theres more
