Salaries

The scale of remuneration and benefits will vary from employer to employer and industry type to industry type. Employed positions frequently offer excellent packages in terms of salary, expenses and other associated benefits such as company car, pension contributions and so on.

Career progression within the IT industry is notoriously rapid for those with the right professional qualifications, attitude and experience.

Salary statistics can be open to interpretation so they should be used only as a guide. Some employers will be seeking experience and nearly all are seeking professional certification. The latter is something you can gain with Computeach and of course your experience will develop in time.

The following statistics from http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/ indicate that MCTS status is a valuable commodity and well worth the investment.
