Hi,
Just curious.. does anyone know what some of the higher level NOC, Firewall Engineer, VoIP Engineer positions pay at Vonage and what kind of benefits Vonage provides?

The senior engineer position I was offered early this year was about 90K, if that's any judge for you.

Yup.. that's what I was looking for.. you said "offered" why did you not take it?

Honestly, I would have, but I have a govt clearance and got offered another position that required one. Besides doing something I love, you never want that clearance to lapse once you have it; it's a great bargaining chip.

I got it when I was active duty military for 10 years, did a real slick move and updated it right before I got out, (so it was good for two more years) and landed the job that wanted it within a year. It's not hard to get one, if you've never done anything horrible, it just takes forever. The perk is that if you already have one, a potential employer doesn't have to foot the bill to run an investigation, which runs anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 smackers.

Any joe can get a clearance, IF the job requires it, IF the employer will pay for it or it can be transferred, and IF you have nothing too horrible in your background.
