    I umm, think you could possibly get 50-70% more salary jumping companies fairly easily. $67k (base) is sorely underpaid for a skilled data center engineer. A quick search confirms my suspicion that a data center engineer makes on average ~$145k a year.

      I am also not qualified to be an engineer despite having it in my title I am more like a data center technician or cable/server installer. Which is more inline with my salary

      But give me a couple years with it in my title and tons of learning and a certification I can hit network engineer with 6 figures.

      This dude is working at a bank. They don’t pay well, but job security is decent. Banks rarely go out of business. He should go elsewhere to earn more. But yeah, that’s literally nothing for his job. He could easily double it.
