I'd say diversity is the key. I know several CCIEs who, outside of R/S don't have much to offer in the way of skillset and they are not commanding as high of salaries as guys without a number but deeper and more diverse expertise. It totally depends on the individual, the need, the location and the experiences (which are unique to and every one of us).

Seriously, CCIE salaries have been down for awhile and any honest discussion about salaries is going to be necessarily negative. When something's black, it would be a lie to call it white. As far as the original question, so much depends on your experience level, the geographical location, things like holding a degree (or not). Strong candidates that have lots of experience, are well educated, and are in places can still pull nice salaries. But I'm also aware of CCIE's applying for positions that pay less than 30k - and not getting them. The point is that the CCIE by itself guarantees nothing.
