A new direction for the topic.... It seems that the consensus is that the surveys are inflated. I cannot think of a better forum that would give an accurate result than this one. And with the topic having strung on this long, I must not be the only one on the list that has this on their mind right now. Has the list ever did it's own survey to get a more realistic view? Knowing that they aren't underpaid or as underpaid may remove some strife from some, and let them focus more on studying....

As Sam mentioned, he doesn't support the claims of the salary survey and I agree with him. I think the name of these survey's should be changed to "Salary's that we wish we made". People are probably ashamed of the salary's they actually make and inflate the crap out of them for the survey. Just my opinion.

It mainly analyzes the the salaries of people holding Microsoft certifications. The applicable part is on the 3rd page of the report which lists the estimated salaries of all different cert's including CCNA,CCNP, CCIE. http://mcpmag.com/salarysurveys/ I'm not supporting the claims on this site. I'm posting it here because people always ask the list for this info so i hope noone comes after me for posting this. I currently hold MCSE and CCNA with 2.5 years experience and don't make what the list says my average would be, and this is working in NYC where they pay very well. food for thought sam sneed Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=30320&t=30237 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
