Hi guys,

The reason I'm starting this thread is to do a salary range survey and job info sharing of network engineers in the market today. Perhaps some kind souls would be willing to share their experience and what type of certifications are helpful in order to achieve high salaries.

An example will be as below:

Job Title : Network Engineer
Job Desciption : Maintain local network infrastructure & projects
Qualification: CCNA/CCNP/CCSP/CCVP/CCIE
Total years of working experience : 3
Company : ABC Sdn Bhd
Tenure : Permanent/Contract
salary : 4k

is that your salary? 4k and u have ccie? LOL!

is not easy to become a tuition teacher ... if the student still can't get good result, the parents might lose faith on you ...

unless u blame the student born to be stupid

its an example lar///

mine

Job Title : Network Engineer
Job Desciption : Maintain/plan network infrastructure/firewall/servers etc etc for company and clients
Qualification: Degree (computer science), CCNA, LPI-101 & LPI-102
Total years of working experience : fresh
Company : Brilliance Information sdn bhd <--- very bad HR management
Tenure : permanent a.l.a contract`
salary : 2.5K no other benefit...

ps: waiting for another few months then jump ship...

Hi, will the salary for a fresh grad for the position of Network Engineer (or other similar network related positions) be higher if the candidate has a CCNA? If so, how much higher? A few hundred bucks extra? How much?

I need the information to negotiate my salary. I will be getting my CCNA before I start my new job next month. Can I ask the company to add RM300 to my basic if I get my CCNA before I start the job? Will they accept it?

Reply here pls: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/820611

Thanks.

Hi kellyC, what does certification allowance mean? Is it something like if you get a cert like CCNP or something then you will a get a raise of your salary?
