In my firm there are both cases. Luckily I don't really need admin permisions to do my job. So I just asked for it once and then...
I installed a VM to work with

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Welcome to my world, we have to fight tooth and claw to get admin rights (local) and have to rejustify it on a regular basis. Some of our devs did not achieve it and work under a restricted environment. This works about 95% of the time, the other 5% is a complete PITA.
One of the arguments we have used is that we are developing services and need to deploy them regularly (multiple times a day) and it needs local admin. It was rejected last round and some lost their rights!

I think Joe summed it up for me. I'd just add that this is a sign that development isn't taken seriously by management. I very much prefer to work places where my work and input are valued.

I, as is my wont, applied for a job yesterday. The company are willing to pay the kind of money I'm looking for and are after someone who knows a product I wrote.
Apparently I'm not the type of person they're looking for...

They have obviously had to use it...

I see. So what they are after someone who knows it, but not enough to notice the insider trading...

Reminds me of a conversation I had yesterday.
I know a fellow who wrote the current system that we use to monitor contracts.
Well the system is being replaced (political reasons, his is actually a better solution) and he was told his new job would be to admininister user permissions. So they told him this in a 8 man meeting that he'd move from writing UIs to using UIs. He told them he would NOT be doing that. They all looked at him like he was crazy.

What they did not tell you is that they were looking for someone who knows the product for the only reason to migrate everything to another tool, because the one they currently use sucks on many levels.

Actually they're migrating TO it.

Seriously, this sucks. Maybe they found someone cheaper.

That's great! Getting paid in Kazakhstani Tenge or Tunisian Dinar can be a burden.

We were working on a government contract a few years ago, which had just started off. I was looking for contract staff and an agency offered me people who had 5 years experience on the project that had just kicked off. I suspect they've hired one of those people.

No sense at all. But these knock backs really pease me orf.

Your were the person they were looking for, you just weren't their type...
What? Were they looking for a date?  Proof the hiring departments aren't the right people to be conducting the interviews.
I feel for you my friend. Good luck in your future interviews.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I think English is lacking a word here: to describe the feeling that something makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but also doesn't cause the least surprise. Sort of the opposite of shock.

I suggest you modify your cv. Search and replace Gin and Tonic with Tea and Biscuits, for example.

Did you ask "what kind they're looking for?"
I've been told that I got "too much experience". I didn't even dare mention where I got it.

I'm kinda kicking around going back to school.
Maybe an associates in Networking Technology.
Networking just freaks me out but with WCF and everything going web based it's starting to play more and more into what I do for a living. I'm uncomfortable with the terminology and so forth so maybe sitting through some classes would help.
Meh.

If that's all you want it for is personal knowledge , why go for a paid degree? try out something like MIT's freebies. I have looked through some of them and they are pretty good.

Having money in the game discourages slacking off midway through.
It also gets you another bullet point on your resume for your next job hunt.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
