| That would be hard to say
Different states have different levels of living
$20 in Louisiana is a great salary, but in New York or Cali it might be Miniumim wage | |

| You can measure salary with certification. | |

| You can look at the certmag site for some salary surveys, but the items are really misleading as has been indicated. I saw a site awhile ago that allowed you to put in certs, experience, education, and zip code and spit out a number. But even then, it is still just a number. Even my job site, we have people doing the same job with essentially the same backgrounds with $25-30,000 difference between them. Is that good? Not if you are on the bottom end.
I recently added 4 separate certifications this past year. you know what I will get? Zero. | |

That would be: ttp://www.certmag.com/salarycalculator/calculator.cfm
But you have to register to use it.
It all depends on what the your employer is willing to pay for them. For example, the company that I work for has salary ranges for each postion in the company, a minimum and maximum for each. 90% of the time when you move into a new postion you will get the minimum, the go from ther. The engineering department that i am in is the only department that gives bonuses for certs, For CCNA you get $1500, CCNP $2500, etc... These are cash bonuses, not raises, those have to be negotiated. | |

| that's absolutely true techno. I am currently stuck on a project with non-technical bosses and a poorly-written contract that is losing money. raises and bonuses only worsen our P/L. I actually know people on other contracts within my company that are lower in grade, but make more money (about 10K more :eek) The only thing that is keeping me here is the enormous amount of play toys we have.
It seems like I will have to find another job if I want a raise... | |

| They always over estimate the salary. | |
