Piyush Monga, the entrepreneur behind Salary Scale, asked the couple what they do for work and how much they earn.

The couple revealed that they are both tech professionals - while the husband is a programmer, the wife works in support. Both earn CAD$100,000 a year, bringing their total family income to CAD$200,000 ( ₹1.2 crore roughly).

Courses to upskill

Asked how others can earn similar amounts, the husband advised, “You can go for a technical certification, like there is Hadoop certification. There is Cloud Certification.

“If you want to go into a management field, you can go for a CSM Certification (Certified ScrumMaster Certification) or PMP Certification (Project Management Certification),” he explained. “PMP really helps,” the wife agreed.

Monga asked the couple if a PMP certification is as valuable today as it was three years ago, since it is so easy to obtain now. He asked whether something like a Cloud certification is more relevant today in terms of money-making.

“Depends on which domain you are in. For example, there are domains where if you have a cloud certification, you will get the job easily,” the techie replied. “There are domains where if you have a cyber security certification, you will get the job easily. It all depends on which domain you are working on in IT.”

However, he refuted Monga on the fact that a PMP course is not as valuable today as it was earlier. “There has to be someone to manage the team, right,” he concluded.
