With an R/S skill set you should be lead architect at a financial company's
network. You stand to make a large bonus as well as privileges I enjoyed
(Friday's off in the summer, etc). Forget working for an ISP. They just
don't pay well enough. Look for a job at a hedge fund management firm,
private equity group, etc.
Are you near Seattle? How's the job market there?

Deeeeeeeeng Son,
I am from the northwest. I know a guy making 120k with bonus, but I think
that is a lot for the area. He does ip Tel and works for a reseller. You
talking shop jobs, or resellers? I have a R/S skillset.

Where are you located? 100k? We have help desk staff that make that!
Are you kidding? The CCIE is worth about 170k plus 30% bonus...

Hey guys,
I have worked at a small ISP (about 20k customers). I was not payed all that
well. Now I have a CCIE, and am wondering do the service provider jobs pay
vs the Enterprise jobs? I would love to get around 100k, and not have to
travel. It seems that the majory of CCIE jobs I see on the various jobs
sites all pay around 100k, some more some a little less. The CCIE gets you
treated pretty well if you work for a cisco reseller. Can anyone tell me the
pros and cons to working for a service provider with a CCIE? Are there still
a lot of service providers that even want CCIEs? from the very limited view
I have on service providers it seems like many are moving away from cisco
gear in favor of other vendors. I would love some advice here. I just got my
CCIE and I feel like I am just starting to finally get somewhere in my
career. I want my next job to the the right job, and a job I want to stick
with for some years.
DR
