Re: CCIE certification value.

Hi Shekhar,

The same thing i felt when i gave my CCIE. I used to know in and out of the
blueprint and when i took interviews of CCIEs who were 8-9 Experienced,
they would forget abt certain technologies. One thing i learnt from my
peers. They say that if you are not in touch with certain technologies, you
might forget for that moment, that doesnt mean that the person doesnt know.
You shud ask the person abt what are the projects that he has worked on.
Based on that you shud judge the person(This doesnt mean that they shudnt
not know basics of each technology knowing basics is a mandate) . If u know
the stuff, revision of technologies wud hardly take time. you just have go
through some docs for some hrs:) I will ask you the same thing may be after
4-5 yrs of passing ur CCIE. your opinion wud be same as i have now :)

Regards
Sundeep
