This what are things right now. All the apples are bad these days. My salary
is 42K a year with 7 years of experience. I used to be at 150K plus bonus
plus stock option plus discounted stock price. Without the side jobs, my
family would be in the street right now.

Subject: OT: Current salaries and recruiters w/attitudes
I just had a recruiter tell me that as a CCIE (with a
little over 3 years of experience), I should be happy
to take a
job for $60k in the Dallas area. Now I know things
aren't great right now,
but this seems a little extreme. Has it really come
to cutting our salaries in half and putting up with
serious attitudes from recruiters? She basically
chewed me out because I was
"not serious" about my job search. I found her
attitude extremely
unprofessional and I am honestly shocked at her
demeanor. Just to make sure I'm not way off base
here, can anybody tell
me if this is really where things are right now, or
was this just a bad
apple?
Thanks,
Scott
CCIE #9340
