That is anecdotal nonsense. Any major corporation in need of real techs and that has a Cisco infrastructure will certainly consider CCIEs very seriously, yes even above so-called "CS" degree holders without much experience, for technical lead positions. I can bring examples that are not merely "anecdotal."

[7:71143] Based on anecdotal evidence I've seen on this list before, I can give you an excellent ball-park figure: zero. You won't get a job if you are "just" a CCIE. See also NRF's post below.
