Getting Back into the Field. Seeking advice on my salary worth.

echoesofeleven

Hello Everyone. I am getting ready to start applying for jobs again. I have not worked in the IT Field since May 2018. Unfortunately, my mother passed and other life events happened. I took some time to myself. I went back to school and got my masters. I am now working on my security + and hopefully, I'll be certified by March of this year. I had my A+ and MTA certifications but I chose not to renew them. 

The image below is my current resume. I was just wondering at this point in my career, what would be my salary? I'm looking for Tier II helpdesk positions or any security positions. As for my area, I live in Northern Virginia.

I can't help too much on this but part of your "worth" can be determined by whether you are prepared to move? Judging by your signature I doubt it.
Did you have any certs in the pipeline?

It depends what positions you apply for. Helpdesk won't pay much but something like Assistant IT Manager will.

You should be able to return to aTier 2 position at a higher rate to include inflation. I think you may need a few more years and and a few more higher level certifications to work in a management level.
