Hourly rate for certified ST installer
I apologize if this is off topic however I wanted to poll the forum users to see what you thought a reasonable hourly rate of pay for a certified ST installer should be in the Washington DC area.

So, I was an installer in the DC area, but I lived in Richmond (90 miles South) and my company was in Richmond, so I got Richmond pay...the cost of living is at least twice as much as that of Richmond...My company asked if I wanted to move there, but I would accept nothing less than 80k/year, and thats just to be able to afford to live there!
So, hourly rate? I dont know, maybe $40-$45?? I guess if there was a new person, you could get away with less though... -
Anybody have any info to share on the Midwest? As far as what your company would pay for a Certified engineer with 10+ years experience.
Thank youComment

I dont know, im not one but I hear the installer class isnt that advanced, i heard it's more admin type stuff. My question is what would the next cert get you? Anyone know, I hate certs but they get you paid.

If you're looking for someone who is certified and also truly understands enterprise class networking, MPLS, QoS, etc. I would say $125-$200/hr. If you have a good network admin you can read the admin guides and do the networking yourself. Take the time to learn ShoreTel and you can do much of it yourself as well.Comment

Is this for casual time or a full time person? Lots of difference. To hire a Partner to do work is about $140/hr. A full time person will get about $32-$45/hr. DC is a strange overpriced market!
There are several good Partners in the fringe (50-80 miles) that work quicker and can help. 804-FLY-FISHComment

Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback. I guess my question would pertain more to the Baltimore area than flat out DC. Although that said I guess you could work in both markets pretty easily.Comment
