Steve (and Monica):

I live in San Diego, CA and am a CCNA/MCP (NT 4.0).  I recently renegotiated
my contract to $165,000/year; 45 days paid vacation; 60 sick days; and 1 new
Audi TT225 for personal use and for my business car I have a 2001 BMW Z3.

I did something a little different: my company asked if I would take the
minimum salary and benefits package right now until my performance can be
evaluated.  I said yes.  If I were you, I wouldn't take the STANDARD
salary/benefits package for CCNA like I did.

Ya know if about 10 or 12 of you would just respond with "Gee that seems
low, I make a lot more than that!" It would sure help my upcoming salary
negotiation.

All this negative stuff just makes this list useless for inflating my raise.
Come on people how about some constructive "fish stories"?????

given sufficient velocity, it's possible for pigs to fly.

Plagiarized remarks aside, one would have to have some pretty good
background and experience to command some of those numbers. For 200K,
whatever the certification, CCIE included, you probably know a bit more than
servers and routers.

Well, I would say that it is *possible* for a ccnp or ccie to make that
much money doing consulting work.  But, not working for a company :-)

Yeah, that was assumed but still, an MCSE/CCNx combo won't pull that much
money.  There's no way...  mainly because you'd be managing both LAN and WAN
and in a large environment, that's probably not going to happen...

Hey Group,

I just read the accompanying text to the salary chart and realized that this
Cisco salary chart is for MCSEs who hold another cert.

I would assume that most experienced (3+ yrs) CCIEs do not hold a MCSE as
well.

This would severely throw off the salary curve if you don't count anyone who
doesn't have a MCSE!
