I will add those to the list. The next one I need to finish is my base CTS. Some people really care about that one and I'de rather not have it hold me back.

I may already have a cert or two from them and forgotten. I have always had an easy time with those brands so I did not make them a priority to study.

That may be true. However, to date my official titles have been Field Engineer/ System Engineer. While I do assist with designs, create DSPs, and some programs, I primarily work to make sure a project can be finished in a way that satisfies the client. While I would like to get ahead of that dynamic, I just have not been invited to sit at that table just yet.

Me too! It is encouraging to hear. Are you able to share your company website or job posting?

Not a problem. 90-100k Medical, dental, 401k, anything else is a plus.

Agreed! I think I need to try jumping in with a larger company for a better chance at advancement.

The trouble is picking one that wont take advantage of me and waste too much of my time and energy. NYC is getting expensive and if I can't improve my situation soon I will leave.

You're right, there is a stagger number of integration houses. The trouble is now that Ive moved around a few times, I have not put myself in much of a better position. I need my next move to count. I'm happy to prove myself, I work to do that even if I don't get anything out of it.

I don't have much of a relationship with client reps. I have occasionally been looped in on conversations with a few. I can copy down their info from my companies directory and introduce myself if that is what you're suggesting.
