15 More Tech Skills That Can Instantly Net You A $100,000+ Salary
Now we've got 15 more to add to the list, from a salary survey done by Global Knowledge and TechRepublic. The research was conducted in late 2012, based on a survey of 9,500 tech professionals.
This survey asked these folks how much they earned and which IT certifications they had. That's a little different than our previous story, which was based on skills desired by employers with open jobs.
There are, obviously, other factors that contribute to pay including how many years you've got in, area of the country you live in and how many people (if any) you manage.
Those caveats aside, here are 15 more tech skills that will help land you a $100,000+ job.
