Network Architect Salary

I have been recently been verbally offered a job as the Lead Network Architect at a large 8 Billion dollar financial company in Ohio. Salary has not been discussed yet. I need to know what type of Salary should I expect from this position.

I will be reporting to the Director of IT and I am responsible for the LAN/WAN across the US, Mexico, Canada and Europe and It cosist of

17,000 users. I also am certified as a Network plus, CCDP and CCSP.

I have 10 years of direct Cisco Experience working for an ISP. I also have a Masters in Business Administration from a medium sized school in Illinois. I will not have any direct reports but will be responsible for leading and planning all enterprise related projects and creating all network related policies, and leading all Network managers and Sr.network Engineers in managing the network.

What type of salary should I demand/expect for this position. Please help. Should I demand 6 figures or less?

Thanks in advanced for any responses

The spread in Orlando for this type of position with your credentials appears to be $60,000 to $100,000, which is way down from previous years, but is starting to rebound as the demand for Cisco professionals is beginning to pick up. The cost of living is relatively low here and we do have a glut of IT workers in our economy. A lot of experienced IT people are working hospitality or sales now waiting to get back in. I have a friend that left Disney to get a job in Ohio, and he required a monster raise in salary to compensate for the higher cost of living. Real estate is less expensive in Ohio, but the income taxes and sales taxes on grocery items we don't have in Florida kill you when you move to most other places.
