Re: CCIE salary in Pakistan

Are you sure?

I know of CCIE's in the USA who have settled for 50k, 60k, (three different
CCIE's in those cases for three different employers).

I know of CCIE's who work for $100k - $125k pretty regularly in the USA.

I've heard of others who beat the $135-200k range.

I know of CCIE's on contract working for $125-175.00 per hour.

I recall a CCIE doing some $10k per day.

So to say one should know for sure is a little cavalier.

The truth is the rate is negotiable and depends on experience. That
experience may have little or nothing to do with the job and a lot more to
do with Poker or Blackjack than anything else.

Finally, what are you willing to work for in the market given the conditions
as they are presented. What will you do if you land in a scenario you
cannot live with and must leave?

Is the CCIE able to undertake risks of self-employment? Or does the CCIE
need the job-security and certainty of a Fortune 500 company (which may not
be very certain any way).

I guess it all depends.

I guess the CCIE Candidate could hack around a bit and find out what one
needs to know in advance.

Network with your peers in-person and on-line.

Get a feel for things and get paid.

Nothing is worse than settling for $x and loving the job but finding out
your peers or not-quite-peers are better compensated than you are. That's
frustrating to the max.

Know your market. Market your knowledge.

HINT: Companies seed resumes to feel out the market.

Maybe you should do the same with companies when you are not in the market.

Knowledge is Power.
