Dezhong,

You need to speak to some Recruitment Agencies and surf the Job Market to
understand
what your financial worth is out there.

Hi, all,

I heard many stories about how difficult to get the CCIE and how valuable
it
is. So now I'm.

I joined Cisco last June as a new graduate student without any cisco
background.
I passed the CCIE in last Dec. My salary is still as low as 68,000. My
grade is still as low as 6. And it seem there is no big promotion in the
near future. No promotion to grade 8.

I don't feel it is difficult to pass the CCIE. I also doubt the value of
the
CCIE. In my opinion, even you have CCIE, it still depend on whether you
have
good experience. Like me, without any work experience except in cisco for
several months. Can you see I'm a valuable CCIE?
