Denis,
You can find salary averages for certified people, but you really can't
go by them. Location is one major factor, but so is the individual. A lot
of engineers lack the ability to articulate themselves and/or lack the
ability to sell/justify technology at a business level where most managers
think. People should not assume they are worth more money because they are
now certified. Obtaining a certification clearly shows initiative and never
really shows the amount of hours and resources exhausted for it. Any
certification compensation should be based on this and not because some
magazine or web page said you should be making $20-30k more. I suggest you
log the amount of hours you spend studying and money you spend on books,
routers, and/or lab time. This will give your employer a better idea of
what was involved in obtaining your certifications. It will also show you
how much of your life you lost when trying to accomplish the CCIE! (SMILE)

Subject: average salaries
Is there a survey somewhere of average salaries for various Cisco Exam
holders? Or IT people with certifications in general? I am coming up for
review in a few weeks and am about ready to take my CCNA, but would like
some ammunition to use against the board of directors.
