Narbik,
I passed R/S in
Aug. I don't post my num, because Scott Morris might try to steal my
identity :P He is a famous hax0r/pirate you know.
:P
I like your guy's responses to this question, but
you guys are CCIEs!! You understand what it really means to get it, and what
it doesn't mean. To me, it was a really hard
test, that could get me paid more. Thus my motivation.
I haven't had any horrible interviews, I am just curious what the community
thinks. Seems like there are a lot of opinions of what a CCIE
should/shoudn't know in an interview just off of this board here.
