I graduated from a run of mill university, and am working in IT field in a local government. Got a little over 5 year of experience. I am still relatively young nearing my mid 30s.
I am interested in getting a job at prestigious schools like Harvard, Princeton or Darthmouth as an IT technician. How competitive is it? How difficult is the process, and do interviewers sometimes give a bit of BS during hiring processes like in private or government sector?
Once you get in, that is if you get in, how fast paced do those Ivy schools tend to be for your work?

I am not seeking a faculty position.

Go to the HR dept's website for the schools you're interested in, and start searching for job openings. The university I work for has very decentralized IT functions. There are 2 large mainframe centers, and at least a dozen smaller systems for different colleges and units. I can't say that the Ivy League does it this way, but you'll never know until you apply. If you pick a big school, there's more chances of moving to other departments if you don't like the one you get.

Most of those services are outsourced to companies like HP, Compuware, EDS, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, et al - so you could go to one of those companies and see who's got the contracts for the schools you're interested in.
