I think they hang the number up in a hall some where. Kind of like retiring
a basball or football number.....;)

My question is, what happens if a CCIE loses his number do to not
recertifying? For example, if CCIE# 4000 doesn't recertify, is that number
eligible for new CCIE's since it is now open. So if I get my CCIE tomorrow
and 4000 didn't recert, is his number available to me?

While I agree that such an arbitrary distinction has the
potential to be
abused, this person is likely looking (hoping) for some
heightened level of
assurance that candidates will have many, many years of
experience. I don't
know enough CCIEs to comment on the validity of such an
assumption regarding
the correlation/magnitude of relevant experience with a
given CCIE number.
However, my guess is that simply by virtue of having such a
low number that
quite a few of the "early CCIEs" are now firmly entrenched
in the upper
ranks of management (and thus possibly, but not necessarily,
out of touch
with current technology in the field) -- but that assumption
could be quite
flawed.
Worst case scenario -- give the recruiter your number in
HEX, maybe they
will be unable to convert it properly :-)
(just kidding of course)

I was just cruising on the dice jobs board when something
caught my
attention.
dice.com/DandL/k/ktii.213.html (paste into your browser)
This is the first time that I've personally seen a recruiter
target a number
range for a CCIE job!!!
My question aloud is this -
With the impending CCIE #10,XXX coming by next year are we
going to find
that there is going to be the perception that the higher
your number the
less value to the customer/employer/client.
Of course, the headhunter/manager will never even comprehend
that the CCIE
made today has a much broader range to cover as say the CCIE
of 3 to 5 years
ago. NO, I NOT BASHING ANYONE JUST STATING A FACT.. :-)
DAMN! I knew I should not have procrastinated for the past
year before
stepping up to the lab. I can just hear it now.
Me: "Yes, I'm CCIE #xyz"
Headhunter: "Thank you, but we're looking for a CCIE from
block #abc"
I hope this does not become the quid pro quo among
managers/headhuters/recruiter or this could be a bad sign
for the CCIE in
the long run.
Just MY percecption I guess!
