Every cloud
My instinct would be to go for the promotion, gain the associated qualifications from the courses and the reassess whether you are ever going to see an increase or not.

If there is a genuine freeze then surely the prospect of a new, exciting role must beat doing the same admin job for another decade?

Given you've been at the place 10 years, I'm not sure how keen you'd be to leave to go elsewhere, however an IT Manager elsewhere would surely earn much more than Systems Admin.

Go for it - a more exciting, involved and visible job can't hurt. You've got the chance to run the ship properly and how you want as opposed to being farmed out to a number of managers and diluted

Thanks
Sorry I've been doing that part of my career for 10 years. (well went up from junior, regular, senior) I havn't been at the same company ten years.
