Anyone willing to share the upper comp limits with an RCDD?

I have 15 years of experience RCDD/PMP Structured Cabling/AV. My comp is $225k which is great. Curious what people in Data Center space are making.

Are PMs and Designers making $300k for FAANG jobs? Anybody making good money not living in DC, NYC, SFO?

On the Consultant side it seems like TEECOM/Salas are maxing out at around $185k.

I have looked to change jobs to Data Centers a couple of times but the offers have been around $200k + bonus which makes me nervous I won’t exceed my current compensation.

Hi Guys, I am a mechanical engineer who started as BIM Modeler for ICT/ Sec. Design for Data Center 6 years agoand fast forward to now, I am leading design Deliverables mainly in terms of design structuree cabling to ISP Paths and rack elv. Etc specification is something I have not actively developed. I was looking to be a complete ICT designer with possibility of consultant to work from Anywhere policy . So RCDD seems a certificate that is gold standard, any advise how shall I proceed towards the goal?

Hi everyone, I recently reached out to BICSI directly via email but didn't get a response, so I wanted to see if you guys could help me.

I'm currently planning on pursuing a career in ICT through the BICSI certification pathway. Starting with Installer 1 and Installer 2, then moving on to Technician and eventually RCDD.

However I'm having a little bit of difficulty understanding what kind of work qualifies as acceptable job experience for the Installer 2, Technician, and RCDD certifications. Would roles such as low voltage installer, Audio Visual tech, cable splicer, structured cable installer, or telecommunications installer be suitable or do I need to land a role specifically in a data center? Furthermore what kind documentation do I need to provide to verify I was doing work that's relevant to the BICSI experience requirements?

Lastly for people later in their career I was curious about what kind of jobs people with BICSI certs like RCDD/DCDC have, are they mainly DC and telecommunications focused or are there other doors that opened that you didn't expect?

Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate any information you can offer
