Excellent idea by Joe Foran over on the Server Virtualization blog: he took a look at the salary demands for VCPs 6 months ago according to job search aggregators Indeed and ITjobswatch.co.uk and has now analyzed the evolution of the salary demands today. Here’s how they stack up:
October 2007
April 2008
From Joe Foran’s post:
Since I last covered this topic, the following shifts occured:
- The VCP gained $3,000
- The A+ climbed $6,000
- Network+ declined $1,000
- MCP gained $1,000
- MCSE gained $2,000
- CCA lost $2,000
- CCEA picked up $2,000
- RHCT picked up $3,000
- RHCE picked up$2,000
- RHCA lost $1,000
The big gain in VCP salaries over a period of less than six months shows that this technology is still very much an in-demand skill set and a hot certification to show off. It’s a new year and salaries did jump overall, so this is reflected in the data.
