True, fairness is a must. CCIEs without much experience are rare in the field percentage-wise in comparison, as no-nothing frat boys who drank through college are aplenty. These chaps sure played good paintball, but they were not good techs.
CCIEs with some experience are considered to have "college equivalent experience and training" as it pertains to technical know-how, knowledge that has proven to be crucial in the survival of a few companies that I have worked in. The companies did not care very much whether the CCIE had any "soft skills" when it came time to salvage a disaster of a network. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of n rf Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2003 7:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: how about ccie salary in US?

You're saying that a CCIE (with experience, although you left that part unstated) will be considered above a degree-holder without experience for a lead position. I think it's more fair to say that nobody without experience will ever be considered for a lead position, regardless of other qualifications.
