Pardon me, i think you're contradicting yourself. Huawei, Siemens, Alcatel Lucent etc are service provider, same as equipment providers. Perhaps what you mean to say is network carriers ie mtn, glo etc
Huawei, Ericsson, Alcatel are also into maintenance. Tx Engineers with Ericsson collects 250k while power with IHS collect up to 200 and above.

Wrong @bolded.

Service providers are same as network carriers.

Telco Engineers (for the vendors) range from 150 above. These positions are mostly outsourced.

Maybe your OS company ate your money. In one of the Vendors where I work, Outsourced staff take home 150k (contract agreement) aside appraisal.

Who told you it's big?first of all ,what Telecom company did he get the job with?
mcquin:
It's quite big, that I know. Always wanted to work in any telecom legal unit but have never seen an advert seeking new recruits. You are lucky if you got a job with them.

You're probably right. It depends on the tier of coy in question. I know most Infrastructure providers/power service coys don't pay above 150

The truth is your pay depends on the area and company... are you RF,TX,implementation. ... Secondly are you working for SBC,ASP,VENDOR or operator... If you're in an SBC or ASP don't dream of more than 70k

How much u earn in the telecoms sector depends on your skills, years of experience and company.
You either work for an operator (mtn,glo,etc) or vendor (huawei, nokia, ericsson). though you also have companies that handle infrastructure like IHS. Huawei controls the largest share of the vendor sector but ericsson pays better. You could be employed as a direct staff or an outsource staff. Entry level for direct staff in Huawei is about 180k, entry in Ericsson is about 250k. though you must have strong leg to be employed as a direct staff at entry level (Most Vendors dont run graduate trainee programs anymore). As an outsource at huawei, entry is about 80-120k and ericsson is about 150k-200k. salary increment in the vendor sector is not too impressive, you need to change company to get a good boost. For Operators, MTN pays best, around 170k-240k. Glo's entry level is horrible, about 120k. Etisalat also pays reasonably well, about 200k.
For experienced positions, it varies. Years of experience come into play. Then you must jump about to get good boost. You must be 'Ashawo' for telecoms. Mr A can spend 10 years in a company and earn 400k, while Mr B that has been jumping about can command 1m per month.
If you interested in this sector, you must be willing to learn,willing to travel, work at odd times, and accept any position. As long as you are learning, you are on track. Then baba u must lobby, keep good relationship with vendors/operators. so u can get first hand info when there is an opening. wish u well, my own 50cent.........

jd3trice:
guess you are in the telecoms sector. Pls what can you say about salary of a NOC engineer in Nigeria.

Well, when you say NOC Engineer, you could be a Front office engineer or Back office engineer
Front office (First line engineers) Engineer salary is not too impressive. its usually around 70k-100k. I know a company that pays 45k.
And honestly, there is little or no carrier path.
Front office engineers must continue learning and pushing to change job role.
Though to be honest, it depends on the company you are.
I know Front office engineers that earn over 200k with really small companies.
But big companies that have to hire hundreds of NOC engineers dont pay too well
Back office engineers r not necessarily NOC guys, they are the engineers that do the actual job. But they can work from NOC.
hope u find this helpful

Huawei, Siemens and Nokia etc are not Service Providers. They are vendors, equipment owners. They provide and sometimes maintain the equipment for the service providers; MTN, Airtel and Etisalat
