Re: CCIE salary in Pakistan

Wow!

Back in 2006 I travelled to Pakistan just because IBM had no one
locally to show to one of its important customers. As I was told,
there were only several local CCIE's, all of them working for Cisco,
none for the partners, and returning from abroad because they felt
they can contribute. It is still cool that so many local engineers
managed to get to the CCIE level, but what happened since then?
Please unicast me if you want to.

CCIE #16616
