CCIE, the missing points
01/08/09 12:19
Another great post from Himawan Nugroho about CCIE, it worth to be read every single line:
“What is your purpose to take CCIE? Who cares about the number if we want to take CCIE to learn the technology covered in the lab in a structured way? If someone wants to take CCIE because he wants to ensure he has a solid foundation of the networking knowledge that he needs to work in the real life, why bother with the number? And you will see in my later point, it's not the number that matters. It's the experience, it's what you have done, it's the reputation, that matter.”

Cisco engineering units are the emerging measure of global power.

“ My friend George Morton, who figured this all out, says that by knowing the right numbers to look at we can have a good idea what countries will be leading in technology — and presumably in economic development and power — in the years ahead. The measure George likes is the number of Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts or CCIEs.
The CCIE is Cisco’s top certification category and VERY hard to earn. Being a CCIE doesn’t mean you have Len Bozack on speed dial, but it might as well. Cisco products dominate the Internet and CCIEs are Cisco gurus, so if you are serious about the Internet as a nation you’ll have CCIEs hanging about, or that’s the theory. Conversely, if you just talk a good game as a country with technological aspirations, maybe you won’t have many CCIEs at all — maybe none. It’s one way to determine who the posers are.”

I agree with this statement: “I understood CCNA concepts at a much better level after getting my CCNP. I now know CCNP concepts at a much higher level after chasing the CCIE.”
From NetworkWorld article “Doctor, lawyer? Non-techies don't appreciate Cisco networking exam”:
Cisco says the average pass rate of the CCIE exam over the life of the program is 26%
