Certification and Your Paycheck
March 9th, 2010 by Anne Martinez

What do people with a particular certification really earn? It’s one of the first things people want to know about certification – how it will affect their paycheck. Although every case is individual, affected by a variety of factors such as years of experience, geographic location, and industry, there is still enough certification-specific compensation information available to help answer that question, and we are excited to bring some of it to GoCertify.com. Now you will now find frequently updated charts showing salary figures related to specific certifications on the individual certification pages, a little more than halfway down. You can click on the charts to access even more charts.

Take a peek for yourself:

Right now only the most popular IT certifications feature a salary chart, but we hope to add additional charts over time. We hope you enjoy this new GoCertify feature.

Database Administration One of the Fastest Growing Occupations
March 4th, 2010 by Harold Green

Hi Everyone,

There is an interesting new article in Certification Magazine that reports that database administrator is one of the fastest-growing occupations. It also provides a good ‘day in the life of a DBA’ narrative. If you are either considering a career as a DBA or are seeking to move your career forward as a DBA, you should definitely take a look at this article.

If you’re familiar with our Global Salary Survey (conducted in 2009) you might remember that on average – certified DBAs earn more than $8,000 more per year than non-certified DBAs. Also from our Global Salary Survey, we found that database administrators who have a lot of experience are earning just under $100,000 per year. So even in a tough economy it’s a great time to be a database administrator, and if you are not Oracle-certified – it’s a great time to consider certification as a way to (1) build your credibility, (2) increase your marketability and (3) improve your career.
