    I find the list to be highly suspect because it includes the Certified Data Professional (CDP), but doesn't include the CISSP, CISM, or CCIE.

    A+ won't get you a higher salary. It's a minimum requirement for entry-level jobs.

    There are several 'CDP' certifications. Two that I've had clients ask me about are CDP from IMI which is data privacy and IAM focused. That certification has some steep requirements other than just passing an exam. There is also DAMAs CDMP which is data management focused. That certification has multiple levels from Associate to Master, The reason I point these out is that both offer a low or entry level to the certification. CISSP and CCIE are far from entry level certifications. I think that is the point of the Robert Half Guide. It covers salaries across careers from entry level to more advanced.
