Thank you all for your quick and detailed response. It really helped me
understand the process involved and also provided me some confidence that
there is a high demand for CCIEs in DC area. I will definitely consider
looking for a job there as well now, thanks to you all.
If I may, I would like to get some suggestions from the folks there as far
as a nice place to buy some real estate in where schools are good as well (I
know that DC and its suburbs are not known to be cheap but just wanted to
see what would be an ideal place to be in, IF one can afford it:-))
Thanks again.
