I've monitored some of the popular job search engines for CCIE listings
off and on for the last couple years. Two years ago I could easily find
a few hundred positions for CCIE's. Today I can only find maybe 40 or 50
positions for CCIE's. That being said there still are good positions out
there for good CCIE's.

I would think that you had better be flexible upon where you would want
to
live. The Bay Area "SUCKS" for tech jobs, CCIE or not. These days
companies
are in the drivers seat. Experience, and more Experience are the things
that
rank. The CCIE will give you that distinct advantage with your resume
showing years of "Experience" to back it up...
Some of those CCIE cram schools get rave reviews. Some say they would
never
have passed without going to one. Check that gold mine of information
called
the Groupstudy Archives.
As for current CCIE opportunities just go to the usual job sites and do
a
CCIE search. There's slim pickens these days.
