Why we read it this way (6)

No specific work location or metro area is mentioned in the posting — this is a Robert Half staffing listing placed on behalf of an unnamed client.

No compensation range is provided.

A Bachelor's degree in IT or a related field is explicitly stated as 'preferred but not mandatory with relevant experience,' so it is not treated as a hard requirement.

CCNA certification is listed as 'a plus' under the requirements section, so it is treated as preferred.

No overall years-of-experience figure is stated; the posting asks for 'proven experience' without specifying a minimum number of years.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
