Im very envious of all you people that have jobs with labs and lab time (or
at least after hours availability). Frankly, if I had a job like that,
there would be no way I would take this Pre IPO job that Mr Thomas is
describing. I work for an SBC affilliate, so I can only hope that the upper
management from SBC have finally taken the red pill.
It sounds like a fabulous opportunity to me. I have no problems with
jumping in to heavy workloads as long as I have support. Since I dont lose
my CCIE studying, its not that big of a loss to me.

Subject: Would you back-burner your CCIE training for...
Hello all =) I have been working on a search for the PreIPO company that I
emailed about last week and I found out something yesterday that I didn't
know about. Since the company wants to go public by the end of this month,
the workload with this company will be heavy for all, especially for the
engineers. It's already heavy because that's the way it goes with any
startup company. But anyhow, the case is the my candidate will not be able
to study for his CCIE for a while. He will have a lot of hands on with Cisco
solutions, but no time for additional training for the first year. The
trade-off however, is stock options and what they most likely be worth. The
company is going public the end of this month. The upper management team
were the upper management from companies like Nortel, Bay, Ascend, Cisco,
SBC and other power-house organizations. They were founded in 98 and already
raised 95M in VC funding. They strong partnerships with other organizations
in the industry. Just a lot of other details involved as well.
My question to all is, would you back burner your CCIE training for a while
for a chance of the options which you'll know the value of in a short amount
of time, or would you rather pass because CCIE is a must, ASAP?
God bless to all =)
