Hi Scott,
Would you mind sharing more about your thought and experience on this topic?
I know CCIE no longer provide the same effect to the career path
improvement as it once did.. but to many of us, it's like the training
path of becoming a Jedi (ok, I admit I am taking this to the extreme
cause I want to make myself feel better ^_^;). It kinda like THE
must-to-be-done target that I have set years ago when I was still
green in this field.
A few people told me that you wouldn't get back what you would have to
spent on getting a CCIE no. (courses, books, family time, setting up
lab or rent, exam. fee.. etc) at least for a few years. Do I feel
confuse? yeah, abit.. everyone want to get a better career path,
especially when you dedicate so much for a CCIE no.
I think all of us are really want to know more about this cause
(espscially from you) CCIE no. (R&S, Security, SP, etc) always come
with a great cost (family time, money, spiritual training, etc).
I am working on my security track after R&S (just passed security
written today), I am surely one of the readers in here want to know
how being a CCIE (or a dual-CCIE, even multiple, like Scott) will
impact to my career path nowadays.
Looking forward to your valuable input~!
P.S. A song suddenly come to my mind when I am typing this... "It's a
looooooong road......"
Best Regards,
Jacky
