My job just merged and is reevaluating our pay scales. My exp, 7 years, Cisco meraki network engineer.

Am I with more than $89,000 a year without any bonuses?

      That’s what I am doing. I applied for a meraki job and they replied back in an hour saying I am a good fit and someone will reach out soon.

      Engineer, they just give me admin as the title as they don’t really understand what I do. Company is in Santa Rosa but I am remote in phoenix. Had to move as they didn’t pay me enough to afford living in CA

      Can you summarize what you do in your role? I saw some of your responses and they seem more admin related and if they don’t understand what you do, time to leave

  • You just asked on an app full of engineers in San Francisco where rent is $5000 lol. Of course they’re going to think it’s low.
