I was in Seattle. And I worked for a carrier while I was out there. The
salaries are far less than California and Northeast. And being that I
was originally from NJ (worked in NY-financial for years) before I went
out there, a lot of people knew that they couldn't compete with salaries
and competitive hourly rates I was used to. So ...if you're in Seattle,
temper your salary expectation. It will be lower. Consulting pays more,
but don't expect to get top dollar from the big employers out there. It
will be lower then equivalent positions in California or out here in the
North East.

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.

Are you kidding? The CCIE is worth about 170k plus 30% bonus...
Move to a major city (NYC, LONDON, BERLIN)

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.
