I was just cruising on the dice jobs board when something caught my attention. dice.com/DandL/k/ktii.213.html (paste into your browser) This is the first time that I've personally seen a recruiter target a number range for a CCIE job!!! My question aloud is this - With the impending CCIE #10,XXX coming by next year are we going to find that there is going to be the perception that the higher your number the less value to the customer/employer/client. Of course, the headhunter/manager will never even comprehend that the CCIE made today has a much broader range to cover as say the CCIE of 3 to 5 years ago. NO, I NOT BASHING ANYONE JUST STATING A FACT.. :-) DAMN! I knew I should not have procrastinated for the past year before stepping up to the lab. I can just hear it now. Me: "Yes, I'm CCIE #xyz" Headhunter: "Thank you, but we're looking for a CCIE from block #abc" I hope this does not become the quid pro quo among managers/headhuters/recruiter or this could be a bad sign for the CCIE in the long run. Just MY percecption I guess!
