I'd suppose most everyone is asking the same question
about the CCDE. I still remember the last time the
CCIE-Design cert was offered and never made it as an
offering to the people who passed that written exam.
The question I'd ask myself if I had already achieved
one or even more CCIE's is this:
Am I seeing the Return on Investment?
If not, another certification may not be the answer.
If yes, then carry on.
For myself, I think certs help, if nothing else they
make me more confident at my job.
However, I've seen a lot of people get the certs and
get their feelings hurt too.
Employers do not throw money at you just cause you got
some more letters behind your name.
Usually they have problems and they like to hire
people who understand the problems and can be expected
to create solutions to those problems.
That's the bargain we are in the game for.
Maybe the first CCDE's might see some increased value,
but I always wonder in the back of my mind why out of
the first CCIE's to make the 10 Year mark only a few
are still active CCIE's in the first place.
Yes - there will be lots of answers to this one, but I
still wonder.
Congrats on having earned one or more CCIE's.
