Certification Salary Results in

Once again CertMag.com has produced its Salary Survey which details based on responses from questionnaires the salaries of different certified individuals.

The top 5 earning certs were (and all pulling in over 100,000USD per annum)

• Brocade Certified SAN Designer
• Cisco Certified Internet Engineer
• ISACA Certified Information Security Manager
• EMC Proven Professional Technology Architect
• Open Group’s IT Architect Certification

The country with the highest salary for IT, Norway. And Vietnam the lowest. But you need to take into account cost of living indexes as well!

The MCSD came in as the highest earning MS certification whereas the MCDST was the lowest. And it seems that the MCPD was missed altogether.

Main thing was that as a lot of people are expressing that being certified is paying off with those being certified being paid higher than those that are not.

This can all be taken with a grain of salt however as it is based on whoever applied so it may not be completely inline with actual figures.
