With now a reported 100 CCIEs being certified every 10 days...is it still the
same certification Cisco have us believe? Think about it, 100 IEs in such a
short period of time.
Am I right to start presuming it is a matter of time before the qualification
will start to loose its appeal. Surely as more people get the numbers, the
existing flaccid market will sink to more - in terms of salary. It has always
been the case that the IE was 'regarded as the black-belt of
networking'...quote from CCO itself.
They must be joking...while the revision of the lab format to 1-day was met
with sceptic from enthusiasts, a unnumbered person like myself, even thought
it was the time Cisco wanted to flood the market. Sure, the IE is still thee
certification, but it is a matter of time before the inevitable happens (Cisco
seem to be sending IE in the direction all numbered people fear most -
common).
Do Cisco realise their mistake and reinstate the 2-day lab with a more
intensity?
Maybe Cisco need a new mission statement; difficulty maybe there still but the
all round knowledge is starting to dwindle. Cisco's path to creating some of
the most powerful net professionals is fading, in terms of view and opinion.
Anything common is not special, is your iron special or unique?
~Maybe, I am being a fool, thinking out of line or starting to face the truth,
optimist or pessimist. All of the people who want this cert are surely doing
it for the pounds, dollars, yen or euro..perks or privileges. Call it what you
want, form of survival, I want to earn the money I deserve and Cisco entices
us with into the road of IE.
Let me know your thoughts...facts, figures and anything in between.
