Anthony, I believe this too.
However my concern goes back to the NT4.0 days. Yes the much desired MCSE. Market quickly became saturated and salaries went down. Today I can't even find one person who has the most recent MCSE, they all put it on their CV but when asked they all confess it's NT4.0. LOL I have no doubt that CCIE's will always be in demand. I am just weighing up risk vs.reward in terms of actual certification. I have consulted for 5 years and have never been asked to produce my certifications. I am sure this is different in the US and some other countries? then theirs the stories of CCIE's being interviewed who obviously dont make the grade and this drags down the accreditation. and of course then theres the sites that have the exams almost to a tee, sold for a few hundred dollars. Are the sites info correect, you bet. 3 engineers i waorked with who certified used the material. So the question/s really are why all of a sudden is there a massive acceleration this year compared to other years then? Pretty sure I read somewhere that the avg was 1200ish? Salaries have been going down for years (not just in the recession) yet more people are being accredited. Sorry to sound like Dr Doom and Gloom but I kinda feel like I need to look past the # first. Thanks for the replies.
