First, for the record, this reflects a majority of those looking for work
those looking for employees.
I do not believe that this is a function of the actual number, but the job
market as a whole. Recently, I have seen a the market change from a
employees market to an employers market. While there are lots of open jobs,
there are also lots of open employees waiting to fill them. The days of
skyrocketing pay, options, and the other perks are fading away as fast as
the NASDAQ.
CCIEs are still hard to find, but in reality few companies truly need them.
Out side of Cisco Silver and Gold Partners, Service providors, and Cisco
itself, the demand for CCIEs is not very high. Most corporate IT make do
without them, because they can not afford that type of salary.
the consulting market is ok, but it has been better. Many partners are
currently riding the economic wave trying to keep pace with last year. most
wont, but they will do OK. Thought the situation is not extreme, they most
likely wont be adding lots of staff.
Cisco is also in a hiring slowdown, and service providors have also taken a
big hit.
All of these things tend to make the job market a little less friendly that
it was last year.
