Re: Is CCIE loosing its value?

My last two cents on this... I really like using the post for relavancy to
the test and not if the certification itself is relavant. The last interview
I was at (thankfully got the job), they weren't concerned about hiring my
certification but instead about hiring a competant professional. I am
thankful like many on this post that my phone/email/social networks are
constantly pinging me about oppertunities. This comes with only having what
was previously explained as a 'watered down' CCNP. The reality is that the
CCNP was enough to get me in front of an interviewer, I had to close the
deal.

I have the utmost respect for CCIEs and all contributors to this post, it
has helped move me from the ordinary to extrodinary. I hope to have my
digits soon as a reflection of my hard work. That said I look forward to
seeing some more great posts that follow the 4.0 lab blue print.
