Thomas: CCIE required skill #1 - Attention to detail - Chad only has 3
months experience, James has 3 yrs. experience, makes 27K (not 29, again
that is Chad), and is pathetically under paid.
James: Call the folks in the ad below if they are anywhere near you. They
are looking for someone in the Des Moines area. The ad I've pasted below
pays around $70k. They have more jobs in IA. Call them, get one, make money,
be happy... If you take one of their jobs, tell them they owe me a finders
fee! [=`)
To all: Remember that tech jobs are a dime a dozen, no matter what the HR
people say. You are worth what you will settle for... Weigh your options
against your own personal time and budget constraints. Of course, you
probably should not QUIT a job until you have landed another one, BUT if you
are as dramatically underpaid as James, and you have the skills (and certs),
RUN SCREAMING IN TERROR!!! FAX your resume at every opportunity!!!
