Wow, I am really sorry to hear about this. So you can't remain in Florida due to all of that crap happening to you? If so, your story seems to be a strong deterrent/reminder for me to keep away from that place.

If I read your story correctly, congrats on the move to Atlanta!

You do know that you can update to your 2012 MCSE Server from even an MCITP Desktop Administrator (which is only 2 tests). The MCITP Desktop Administrator also gives you a 2008 MCSA. Pass the 70-417 and you can get your 2012 MCSA. Pass 2 more tests and have your MCSE 2012. (I know server is not the same as sharepoint...but you can get the idea).

I know a moderate amount due to the fact that project server runs on top of it. I couldn't find another project server gig in St. Pete ( paying over 70k) so I ended up at an old company I worked for in the past, HP. unfortunetly, the new HP ceo doesn't like remote work so I have to move to Atlanta ( where I used to live). The COL is similar to Tampa / St. Pete and this is an employee situation directly with HP, so no contracting bs to deal with. The new MSCE is SharePoint required a Windows server MCSA as a prereq so I have 6 books to to through to get the 2012 cert. For Giggles, I am also going to take the 2010 tests as I never had a need to take them before. I had taken the Project / Project server 2010 series of tests about 2 yrs ago.

NOVA wasn't too bad to me, I was able to get some good stuff on my resume and get my rate higher than before I moved there but 2yrs up there was long enough

The IT people I worked with had income 70k - 300k. 120k is the most common for senior level.

This is in NOVA? Your post reflects my initial thoughts of a general senior cap being around 120k...what is this stuff in the 120k-300k range?

Those in the higher ranger are independent government contractors who makes $120-$200+ per hour and bill more than 40 hours per week. Certain fields such as SAP have better billing rates.

Get Certifications, Network. And if your hot girl, wear skimpy clothing and flirt with everyone if you work at Accenture.
