The salary of an admin or network engineer


  • You just got your diploma of administrator or engineer networks and you want to know how much you will win, I will try to detail according to my personal experience

    Salary of an admin networks
    Already what is meant by network administrator?

    It's not a definition that appears in the Larousse, but generally when we talk about network administrator we must understand higher technician of computer science, and with which degree are you techos networks? :

    DUT networks
    BTS networks
    Professional Network License
    I'm going to explain to you why you're going to have the balls as you're networks.

    So you struggled to have your diploma, you hesitated to continue or not to have a bac + 5, and finally you are satisfied with your bac + 2 or bac + 3.

    The problem, I get to it, is that in France we do not privilege the raw skills, at least not at the beginning.

    So you with your degree DUT business networks, you know better or as well as a network engineer. But that makes the companies do not care a bit.

    When you go for an interview as a young graduate (JD), this is what you are called when you have just graduated, in fact the company expects very little of you. What matters to them is your motivation (to work and learn) and that you have some network bases (IP addressing, routing, basic switching etc.).

    So in practice, when a JD DUT or Engineer interviews, it will often happen the same way.

    Same questions, often same answer of the candidate

    So we will be paid the same?

    No, actually you have predefined grids for JD Admin networks:

    Basically you can expect to be paid between 23k and 27k in the Paris region.

    What I advise you is very quickly passed your CCNA, and then the CCNP.

    And you go through a SSII then to work at a customer account.

    The CCNP will allow you to SSII to sell you to a large account customer at an engineer rate, so you can greatly increased your salary 10ke (10 000 euros) per year.

    Skip we will say 27ke to 37 ke, it's already done and it's common.

    For this, it will change boxes by cons.

    So you understand, as a network ad you're going

    Salary of a network engineer
    Be an engineer, finally Bac + 5, because apart from the big account (the big company), you have no salary grid specific to the diploma.

    Basically, if you are hired in a SSII (the new name now is ESN), whether you are a polytechnician or you leave the master 2 system and networks of borough queen you will be paid the same.

    In Paris, the salary of a young graduate engineer networks is about 33ke / 37 ke, as you see it is much higher than that of a technician for equal pay.

    After 4/5 years, you will be around 45 ke.

    After 10 years, between 50/55 ke if you stay in the technique.
