CCIE

Hi folks,

I am confused about job change and want to know from the experience of other folks who might have been through similar situation. I am a CCIE certified engineer working at Consulting engineer with the topmost(No prize for guessing) network company from last 5 years (having total 8 years experience). I came to US about a year back through intra-company transfer. Now my issues is that present company though is one of the best company to work for in networking industry but they are not paying me at level what experienced CCIE should be paid at(though a one of top most performer). Now I have few opportunities with some consulting companies in US who are ready to pay me 50-60% hike but these companies though good in consulting but not at that level my present company is.

So my dilemma is that I am not able to decide if I should go for hike and leave my present company or instead of Salary I should remain with reputed company and wait for at-least 3-5 years more to reach this salary level being offered to me right now. So basically want comparison between salary level and company reputation.

Also what should be average good salary in US for CCIE with 8 years experience, so that I can decide that if I am right now paid too low ?

Thanks in advance for your inputs to help me clear my dilemma.

Regards,
John
