Hello experts,

This topic might have been discussed before, but still want
your valuable inputs after taking a look at my experience and views about each
track.

I am already CCIE service provider and working with one of biggest
service providers in US. Now the issue for me is which CCIE track I should go
for next.

CCIE R&S :- As most of topics already covered in SP, so not much
motivational to go for it. But then need to cover few things to prepare for
practice labs. Motivation is biggest concern for me with this track :-(

CCIE
Security :- Don't have much experience with Security but then good new stuff
to learn motivates me. Will need longer time to study as need to go through
theory first and then start with labs. Only thing I heard (and experience) is
that Cisco security products are not that widely used and hence not much
demand for CCIE security professionals (I may be wrong in this and need
inputs, specially with Service provider Security domain ). So motivation
present in this but thinking of "Is it worth to devote so much of time in this
track"

CCIE Voice :- I know this is hottest [:-)] CCIE track, but then I
don't have any experience in this. By any means expect QOS I don't know even
very basics of voice field. So for me in this track, No motivation, no
experince, only thing is that its Hot.

Other Tracks :-

Sp Ops : Only good
if you plan to be in NOC, but don't have any plans for NOC type work.
Wireless : Not interested, No demand.

Storage :- No experience, no
motivation. Not sure of if any demand for this too.

Above are only my views
and might be even 90% wrong specially about demand section.

Folks Please
provide your inputs, keeping US market and my skill set (CCIE SP domain) in
mind.

Thanks in advance for all your input.

Regards,
JB
