Why not have it all??? Netigy is a great company that is offering immediate hands on experience with leading/bleeding edge technology + the opportunity to pursue CCIE certification (we have hooked up with Knowledge Management for training, have virtual labs, offer private lessons, and the chance to work with the who's who of the industry), + pre-IPO stock options. We also realize that stock options are a future promise of comp. In our case this future is quite promising! In the meantime we know that you have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. We want you to maintain and improve this. That is why we are offering better than industry average salary + bonus (for the right here, right now). Bottom line: immediate hands on experience, training for the future, PLUS great comp now and in the future. Queen said it best: "I want it all and I want it now". Can't go wrong with that!

I am pressing hard for my CCIE certification however would value the chance to work for such a company for several reasons. 1. The challenge - realize and enjoy your achievements through life experience 2. The opportunity to excel - See comments on #1 3. High paced, hands on work - don't get as much as I would like 4. CCIE certification will be valid for a long time to come, why rush, do it right the first time! I can think of many more reasons but as one employer once said "slow down and get there faster" rings true. I'll take experience over certification in a heartbeat. Of course that is just me, I'm US Airforce retired, secure with finances and not really aiming at "the big paycheck". Personally I enjoying challenges and rewards for a job well done. This same philosophy kept me motivate through 21 years service in the military. But that just me.
