Re: Do the Looming Cisco Lay Offs Affect You?

Hi fellas,

I am staying positive about my job guys. But still I am not working for a
particular project. I am just testing the tools for all generic tracks ( ie
Migration Tools ) . So I am not into any project . Just in a testing tools
team .
I also want to meet some challenges outside Cisco. But i dont have much
experience.
I am a CCIE Security . I am tensed and my fingers are crossed.
