I got it framed on tha wall in my office already

It look just like this one basically

Don't mean to be a dikk but a Network+ cert would not get you 200k.

200k is what a CIO of a medium sized company would make

As someone who has worked in IT for years (edit: less than I thought, it's 7 years) with a masters and IT security certs, this is bolllocks

No one with a CompTIA (only) certification will be getting anywhere close to $200k. As mentioned before that is C level executive money

MAYBE CCIE, but NEVER a Network+ certification that you can earn when you're 18

What do you exactly do in networking then, sir?

this is what sucks about the internet. on one hand dude could be telling the truth but noone will believe him (mostly because noone here pulls in that type of money

on the other hand dude could be lying like everyone else lies on the internet

honesty is basically worthless on forums like these, thats why debates are the most popular. we sit on the computer talking to strangers about complete bullshyt. life is crazy

He's not telling the truth.

Not because it's impossible to make 200k. Half my crew is there. Someday I hope to be too.

It's impossible because he's pretending to debate a 50k increase for an alleged extra 20 mins of work a day.

Show me someone who would seriously stop to ponder a 33.3333e100% pay increase, because it would require an extra 20 mins of work every day.

after I just got my latest network certification

I'm debating on accepting a pay raise I would have to work a lil harder for 50 more racks a year

But at this stage in my life I feel like I'm ready to retire, I don't NEED an extra 50 racks for 20 more minutes of work each day :manny:

decisions like this give me a headache :snoop:

congrates.
$200,000 is more in other places outside of NY

It's worth noting this isn't impossible (contracting). But just not with the certification he has mentioned. Please don't think it's easy to do in IT

This is the reason we call some people "paper certs" because you only have an exam passed and no desire to actually work in IT

I get what he means. He means he would work about 20 minutes more per day within the same 8hr workday. Doesn't make what he says more or less true tho, highly unlikely salarywise.

It's a subtle "Tell" though like in Poker. It's like someone saying they went to Brazil and spoke Spanish with the locals, or saying they revved their Tesla engine loud.

I have never heard someone in that pay grade complain about "working minutes" like that. They may complain about total hours per week, or the commute, or work/family balance... but not like someone talking about how it takes 15 mins more to close the store.

He's not telling the truth.

My dude has already spent 20 mins making and responding to this thread.

He is essentially paying $50k/yr to post on the Coli :wow:
