New Job Offer!

in IT Jobs / Degrees
I just heard back from Time Warner Telecom and they offered me the position! I was actually waiting to hear back from them to setup a face to face interview but they decided to forgo that step and offered me the job. Guess the second interview went well :)

I'm looking at going from 47k to 88k, not a bad jump in salary if I do say so myself :D

    Congrats! I can't imagine getting such a drastic salary increase...I wouldn't know what to do with the extra cash! (Actually, I would, but you know what I mean...)

    Thanks for the congratz guys, and for those who didn't know the qwest job fell through due to the crappy economy, the job req was pulled.

    lol, good point Andretii, the big reason there is that you really don't get paid all that well at jtac unless you've been there a while, I've only been there 1 1/2 years, 1/2 year on the SSL team and 1 year on the router team, plus it was my first networking job.

    now i can finally put my focus back on studying for the IE :)

    It sure is a good salary increase, but I am working with them to see if I can get a bump when I get my JNCIE and/or CSBS degree. I never thought the day would come that I would ask for more money when I was offered something like this :D

    Congrats!!!


    You might consider putting some of that new money into sound investments right off. If you never see it you won't miss it and with good investments and a nice chunk of change to start with you could so retire early. :P

    Just a thought, but nice pay raise anyway.

    now that is a good paying job, but I bet it is a big responsibility wow!
    amazing...

    I feel people who have MCSE and CCNP should be getting 80 plus
    freaking doctors do!(get more of course) and many managers and the like get better pay than IT
    (dont get me started) ahhah us IT folk have to work on many systems and are expected to knoow it all and it is a lot of work after hours and such we deaserve 75k plus

    great job!

    lol, i supposed it is a decent increase :)

    However I did ask for a salary bump on top of that for when I pass my JNCIE and get my CSBS degree. They are getting back to me on that to see what they can do :D

    unfortunately I'll be moving, although it will be in Denver so it won't be that far from home.

    And and can only imagine my first paycheck and how wonderful it will be :D

    Yep, I agree. I was going to wait until next year before the April deadline hit for my Roth but I decided to drop the $5K into my Roth right now due to the stock prices being so low. Perfect time to invest right now.

    And congrats Aldur! Nice increase. You get to buy us all a round of beers!
