Yes, some people think that CCNA and CCIEs are same things. Heck some HR guy posted that a CCIE was a requirement for a position but at the end, "Cisco experience is a plus". or requriment was "CCNA/CCIE level only". Well, which is it?? btw, I have CCNA-WAN, pretty useless right now. You can ask my buddy who is a CCNP-WAN, you will get the same answer. At least until the major telcos rebound. or you just happen to apply for a position at a huge corporation that happens to have stratacoms.
