Re: Cisco Raises the Bar with Highest-Level IT Networking

I wonder how many employers will know what that means? I am sure you have
all seen job adverts asking for a CCNA or CCIE..LOL

In any case a CCA will have to demonstrate knowledge in the same way a CCIE
has to in an interview, so it's experience that matters.

I have done a lot of architecture work and that would fit nicely with my
current role. However; I am disappointed that Cisco has defined a CCDE as a
pre-requisite, so I won't be taking up the challenge. There are other things
in life than just pursuing certifications.
