These are the reasons I don't work enterprise. I want my work to be the business, not just a side cost of doing business. It usually pays a lot better anyway!

Exactly, since i started on the ISP/Vendor/Consulting side i don't even consider enterprise unless i need the job because i'm unemployed.

If you are an onsite engineer for a cisco partner, a consultant for IT services or work directly for cisco, ericsson, huawei, juniper, vmware, etc etc where what you do is what bring the money in to the company, you usually/most likely will make more money and will have more benefits and rewards than the regular enterprise job(i know there are exceptions).

Also enterprise with the time becomes boring, i like enterprise when i'm the consultant or the implementation/onsite engineer handling projects for 10 enterprise customers.

But those jobs require more softskills, ahve more pressure and you must like/love to face customer to make proposals and review implementation plans, changes etc, also you really have to know your thing(no braindumps).
