No, not at all. Here's my take on this. First off: No company in their right minds will take a 'CCIE with no work experience' and pay him/her top dollar or anything even near the perimeter of top dollar. Why might you ask? Due to the impracticality of such an undertaking. There is a possibility that a VAR might do so only to further garnish their relationship with the Vendor, but I still feel that it is unlikely. Secondly, what in your humble/honest opinion do you perceive a CCIE with no work experience is worth? Be honest, be truthful. This may be a difficult concept to face but reality tells me after being in this biz my entire adult life that a person with this certification and no practical experience is an entry level person who shows promise and got lucky.
