Re: PhD vs CCIE

Imran - now that is a good point and the answer is no - I believe to get
Master you have to pass a series of exams but there is no Lab content ( Here
is the link that explains it)
http://www.hp.com/certification/expertone_certification_skill_levels.html. But
remember that doesnt matter to someone buying HP equipment like Procurve.
People in general do not see as much of a difference between Cisco CCIE,
Juniper JNCIE, HP Master ASE as they used to. When you are buying HP then HP
will tell you that you need a Master ASE in the same way as Cisco tells you
that you need a CCIE, CCNP etc

Hi Guys,

I think we are all missing the point here the discussion from my point of
view
is "employability" and here is my perspective. Today I understand there are
over 30,000 CCIEs thats three times what there was a few years ago and even
7,000 more then when I got my number. Gone are the days when employers would
be lucky about getting one CCIE and we were literally regarded as "network
gods". We are competing against "each other" and in a highly competitive
world
- even as CCIEs. In that competitive world you have to give yourself an
"edge"
a something extra - what I would suggest is dont just bank on getting
employed
because you are a CCIE - and dont forget some off us are also getting
employed
because we have track records as well as being CCIEs. Most employment
agents/HR departments do a word trawl in the first instance and the more edge
you have the more likely you have to move to the next stage of interview etc
thats what these certifications do for you - and dont also be a one trick
pony
- consider doing a JNCIE or HP Master ASE as well as another CCIE.
