Sure. But only one partner can claim you as one of their required CCIEs
to qualify for higher level partner status. If more than one of the
partners are using you to qualify with Cisco for deeper discounts, it
won't work.

If one partner claims you, another can't until you have not worked for the
claiming partner for some time period (six months?)

The number is yours, regardles of your employment. Partners must have
a certain number of CCIEs "on staff" to qualify for certain benefits
from Cisco. If a partner claims you as "on staff", no other partner may
claim you until you have left the first partner for some time period,

You can work there, but if their reason for hiring you was for bennies
from Cisco and not networking skills, they may have to wait.
