Have you tried the VAR market for a presales tech position? Most VARs are
usually interested in technical folks who understand how to present
technology from a business/financial standpoint where I would expect you'd
be rather proficient based upon your background. Further, for those VARs
that wish to also persue Silver/Gold status with Cisco, you're being in a
position to take a shot at the CCIE would be of great benefit.
Doesn't the CCIE qualification exam renew at least the NP of your
Certs? The DA is about useless from my perspective unless you get some
free stuff for it :-). If so, I'd take the qualification exam and attack
the VAR market as a pre CCIE with good business sense.
