Hi TS, If you are looking to jump ship, consider what are the things that you want in the next employment and your career path. To get a even higher pay (monthly basic), you will have to join another SI or the gov. Maybe you will like to look at the overall package instead (variable, commission etc). As to whether you are underpaid or not - if purely base on certification, I will say that you are underpaid. During interviews, be expected to be tested on your technical knowledge base on what you have stated in your resume (eg. CCNP level, firewall and loadbalancer type of question). Your ability to prove yourself during interviews can elevate you over other candidates and may even give you more "bargaining" ground in terms of salary. Hope this helps and all the best in the future. |

Nimbus | Thanks for the response. Do you happen to know what is the market rate for this kind of skill set? | |

Unregistered | yes you are underpaid. I think you should start looking for a new job now. Resign after you accept a new offer. I won't ask a new employer for a 50% pay increment. That will raise eyebrows. Ask for 30% instead. Good luck! | |

After working a year for the company, I have learned tones of stuffs. Got a good ranking and increment but still <3K without OT. Able to do firewall, load balancer, WAN optimization, proxy and etc. Done couple of projects so far. I'm happy to learn all these within that short period. But the pay factor is affecting my team's morale (im not the leader). Within the period of my employment, I have seen 4 team members left due to pay and the reason is mainly pay. These people got at least 50% to 100% increment in their new job after working 2-3 years. Without them, I became the second senior in my team. Rest of them have <1yr experience. We feel lost at times without the seniors. How I interpret this is that my company (HR) is not paying people high enough to keep people. To them, we can be replaced by any new graduate. They do not think of the skill set lost when senior engineer left. I plan to continue for another year before changing job. But will start looking out for offer as well. With the skills I have, how much should I fight for my next job? 50%? |

Hi all, I am working as a Network Engineer with 2.6K as a start. Responsibilities include Project Implementation and Service Management. We do standby for one week per month but still can go home as normal, just that have to answer hotline when customer's equipment needs urgent replacement. I am okay with the pay because of the lack of experience. Environment is good and people are friendly. But my colleagues said we are considered underpaid for the amount of work we do. So I would like to hear the views of other network engr in this case. |

hi bro just sharing my thoughts. since u're in the army, can find network admin jobs related to military such as dsta or even ST electronics. if u decide to switch industry, can try to submit your resume to job agencies. they can help u find companies whom r willing to employ fresh graduates or no experience. starting pay low never mind, once u gained experience just jump and your pay will jump. do not be motivated by pay alone. just enjoy what you wish to do, excel, and you will get rewarded. |
