Fellow experts,
Considering the amount of time and 'sacrifice' made to achieve the
CCIE and make our mark in the networking field, would anyone here
contemplate on moving to a role supporting another vendor (e.g. Alcatel,
Tellabs, Ericsson) ??. I'm referring to a role which requires in-house
training to learn the intricacies, proprietary protocols and CLI of the
vendor and be completely "isolated" from the Cisco world. I'm discounting
Juniper since I tend to see them in the same market segment.
Would anyone do it? And if so, what would be the factor? Better opportunity?
Less competition? Another challenge?
I find the switchover challenging as I believe a lot of us started the CCIE
journey more as a hobby and through the course of the time and developed a
familiarity to the IOS, not to mention the resources, information,
forums/communities that are widely available today.
Any opinions will be much appreciated
Regards,
Alan
CCNP/IP/SP, R&S due in May
