Guys,
I want everyone feed back on this question. When we start preparing for CCIE
or any higher certification we spend thousands of dollars to keep ourselves
up to date .Some do it for their passion and maybe we want to be the best
and some are just crazy :)
I have spent over 50k in last 5 years and well still going... and then you
use your annual leave, weekends and study leaves etc
These days I am seeing a trend where employers are reluctant to fund your
training or study leave since you can always leave company with four weeks
notice. What will be the best way to tackle this and no everyone work for
Cisco Systems?
I am seeing my CCIE as first step in the door
Option 1. Add training cost + study leave in your desired salary package
Option 2. Ask Cisco to give you a job since you love it so much
Option 3. Take a break and drive a truck :)
Option 4. Work for Cisco Gold partners only
How much training $$$ a person need - 10K a year or more
