The interviewer should be able to tell who is good no matter how high or low
their number...
I told you guys many times about when I forced to work with "YODA" as he was
described... (number around General Morris's).
Well this guy was a disaster!
I felt so upset he was unable to work with us. He was a consultant hired by
a consulting firm where I used to work. Its just I think he went into
databases too long, and it all fell away from him.
One thing I remember is his stare when we talked about the 6509's fabric
enabled cards (as apposed to classic cards) and the importance of having the
dfc3's matched to avoid falling back to classic mode with the Sup's, etc.
So, my point is you are never as good as you say you are. You are only as
good as prove you have to be.
For every new young buck (like me) there is a smarter younger buck more
eager pounding the doc cd in India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, or
Connecticut to get his #.
Many CCIE's retire and numbers don't recycle. 15,000 people in a world where
we have like 500 Million computers, and probably several million networks is
still pretty hot.

Me too. I guarantee you it will soon say in job postings "CCIE with
number below 20000 preferred". Cause you know after 20000 the CCIE is
easy :-)
