Salary Expectations for a Six Sigma Certified Professional

You are here: Home / General / Salary Expectations for a Six Sigma Certified Professional

Posted on August 26, 2021 • Leave a Comment

Among the many ways to improve your profile and boost your chances on the job market, getting an official Six Sigma certification is without doubt one of the best. It’s a great investment into your future, and it’s something that can be applied in many fields and situations.

Certified Six Sigma specialists are also in high demand on the job market right now. With all that in mind, it’s only reasonable to wonder exactly how beneficial this could be to your potential earnings. Let’s take a look at the current situation.

Average Expectations

Six Sigma is a methodology that can be applied in many different fields. Because of that, salary expectations can vary greatly across the board, as some fields inherently pay better than others.

Still, you can expect to earn at least $65,000 for most engineering and management positions, and that’s actually in the lower range of the scale. Many certified Six Sigma specialists actually earn around $70,000 – $80,000, with even greater prospects once you’ve started adding to your profile.

In general, you can expect an increase of around $20,000 on average, compared to your regular salary. Again, this will depend on various other factors, but this is a general guideline. 

Factors That Can Affect Your Situation

If you’re looking to get the most out of your position in the job market, you should do some things to boost the attractiveness of your profile. There is certainly a lot that can be done in this regard, especially if you’re in a technical position. Look into skills specifically related to optimization and process flow.

This is what Six Sigma deals with in the first place, so any additional skills that have a nice synergy with that will be a good addition to your profile.

Never be afraid to negotiate either. The market for Six Sigma specialists is quite competitive, but also constantly in heavy demand for competent, experienced professionals.

As long as you can stand out with your performance and work ethic, you’re on the right track and should see improvements very soon.
