Re: Is CCIE loosing its value?

Abiola,

I believe you are aware that only like 50%(or even less) of job vacancies
make it into the public domain so like I said earlier I don't agree that
there is a decline in the demand for CCIEs in Nigeria. A lot goes on
in-house and its a matter of who recommends who. So along sides learning the
ability to "internetwork", you also need to learn to network with people.

Opportunities abound, and like others have said its not just about getting
the cert, its also about what the pursuit does to you as an individual.

All the best in your preps.

Regards,
Oluseye
