I am sure all of you will agree, nothing beats having industry experience.
The CCIE should be a goal to attain more knowledge and continued learning.
The new CCIE exam covers a much wide technologies than the old exams and
makes it much more difficult. So it is absurd to even state that the new
CCIEs get an easy ride. Even Jeff Doyle in his Volume II Introdution
addresses that the first CCIE exams were much easier (not to take away
credit from the verterans since many of the first CCIEs are truly experts).
It is pretty sad when some recruiters/companies have no clue about the
subject and pass judgement. On a more positive note, I am sure there are
many good employers out there....
Just my $2c
