Data center engineers command big bucks
In years past, the engineers who designed and ran computer data centers were often viewed as an afterthought, especially compared to software developers and others stars of the digital age.
Today it's different, with data center experts in high demand and no longer taken for granted. The New York Times reports that with the rapid growth of data centers and all of the new environmental, energy and economic challenges, those with skills to design, build and run data centers are getting new attention and commanding ever-increasing salaries in the six figure range. The newspaper said that "five-figure signing bonuses, retention bonuses and generous stock grants have become ingredients in the compensation packages of data center experts today.''
