i think it depends on what kind of IT field as well.. i am a network guy before, getting above 10K when i was close to 30ish.. professional certs does help alot in salary negotiation

now i have expanded into other infra area and cloud computing... which fetch my salary higher. and i do not have overall 10 years of experiences.

depends really whether r u in vendor or end-user. whatever services u mentioned above all need network, without network nothing will work. it is nothing different from managed services .. rather than the network guy go to your company and fix the thing for u, now they stay within the company (cloud vendor).

and yes I come from telco background ...the demand for network engineer (I meant engineer, not those cert dumper) is getting higher everyday due to 5G. one network admin job in p.pinang is offering 20k+.

have u try to do some self study before looking out ? what's your self improvement plan?

always remember there are thousands fresh grad looking at the same job (junior role) .. what makes u stand out among them ?
