I too am pursuing CCIE certification and have noticed
a recent influx in people attempting and passing CCNP
and CCIE written, especially the recent addition of
hundreds of people on this board ...
Anyway, CCNA, CCNP, CCDP ... CCIE Written, this means
nothing. It is good, takes a good amoumt of work and
is somewhat difficult to achieve, but if that's your
issue, only interview LAB CERTIFIED CCIE's. There is
no such thing as a "Paper LAB CCIE" If you pass the
lab, you know your stuff .. WELL.
