Certifications are the result of lots of hard work, careful study and learned application. So why do we do it? It's all for the money, right? Either we are fighting for a better job, looking for that annual raise, or stuck without a job at all. Whatever our reason, we are feverishly looking for that extra buck.
According to Certification magazine www.certmag.com if it's the money you want, you might just find it with a little bit of Cisco Systems under your belt.
Certification recently published their Annual Salary Survey, which included surveys on every type of IT certification to determine the best ROI for the employer and the employee. One of their categories, Average Raises for First Year Certifications, rated each certificate on the actual increase in pay received after obtaining the certificate. Among the top 10 were the CCDP, CCNA and CCNP - all part of the Cisco lineup.
In another part of their survey, Percent of Salary Increase After Certification, the number two spot was another Cisco pride and joy - the CCIE. Recipients of the CCIE average a 14 percent raise (second only after Microsoft MCT with a stellar 22.3 percent - but that is for another article in another month).
