One thing to consider is that the salaries listed on page 3 are for MCSEs WITH the listed cisco cert (and who knows how many other certs). Still, I agree that all of the surveys I've seen are pretty superficial appearing and seem to be 10-20% above salaries I've seen. To do a comprehensive survey would require a lot more factors than certs. Time employed by a particular company, length of experience, size of the company, and company locations are just a few of the variables. Just to throw it out there, when I got my NP, I got a 30% raise, but only after spending a lot of time researching salaries for CCNPs. Also, the raise boosted me to the lowest part of the ranges I was able to document. If you feel you are underpaid, research, document, then request. Just don't be too surprised to get turned down or "deferred" as the current market doesn't seem to favor employees, and employers know that.
