sorry
You should try to find a gig at a company with better margins who have mgmt that care and understand tech.
I manage the tech ops end of things (tech not management) fpr a $300M or so company. I do my job extremely well i get almost everything I ask for (except big raises though am moving to another part of CA which will drop an extra $15k in my lap in housing savings). Everything tier 1 4 hour onsite suport. Works really well. Not very exciting but low stress and I like what I do. Company wants to do a billion in revenue im a few yeara and that would be good to have on the resume.
I ignore much of the marketing hype. I am 3PAR, ProLiant, vmware etc. (Nothing converged).
Time to get to my flight spent the last 10 days in Atlanta. Holy shit I love twin peaks im buckhead. The UFC fights on Saturday were awesome as were the bartenders who know me well and treat me like gold.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
