Not around here in nyc. I have heard 17% to 40% bonus expected this year at
the 6 biggest firms. The smaller private ones pay even better.

Everyone is cheap. It's the economy. I've been on the FI (financial) for a
long time and this is the worst I've seen. Words like "recession" and "TARP"
and "subprime" has most IT folks on the FI side just trying to ride out the
storm.

"Lie down, play dead" or "Tuck and roll" are frequently used here.

Service providers are notoriously cheap, especially with the bonus. Many
CCIE's want Security or Voice to work for financial firms.

That's the real answer.

I found a nice article answering my query:

<http://blog.ipexpert.com/2008/11/07/why-ccie-service-provider/>Can anybody
comment on the cisco partnership benefits for companies for a multi CCIE as
opposed to a single CCIE.
