Interesting topic;
As I scour possible opportunities in the Internetworking arena, I have
noticed that regardless of your CCIE number, employers are expecting
thorough, explicit, working knowledge of security, vpn, QoS, Voice, among
the fruits of routing and switching.
Personally, I believe a CCIE is more than a "technician"; also a leader,
thorough with people and project management as well as business needs in the
IT industry. After all, CCIE's are out there the help businesses get the
most out of their invested Cisco equipment, aren't they?
I can see a trend where being muli-certified in R&S, Security, Voice, etc.,
will give candidates the edge to attain or keep that mythical "six" figure
income...

Subject: The number of CCIEs grows faster today
Hi group,
I see the truth that the number of CCIEs grows faster today than before. I
took and passed the lab on 19 March, got the number #11285 and I notice that
Mr Ozan Ocal, CCIE #11318, got his number on 22 March. It means that we have
about 33 new CCIEs (11318-11285) in only 3 days (19 to 22 March). Someone
told me that the number of new CCIEs is 400 each month this year, is it
true? If it is true, in this year we will have about new 4,800 CCIEs.
The CCIE program started in 1994 and up to this time, it's about 10 years
long, and the total number of CCIEs in the world is now about 10,300 (the
first CCIE got number 1025). It means that on average the number of CCIEs
grows 1,030 each year (10,300/10).. But compare with the number above, 4,800
this year, how do you think? Does this mean that, when the number of CCIEs
increases faster, CCIE certification is easier to get and the value of the
certification decreases?
