Contract companies generally find this a "good" situation. I've seen on many occasions where an experienced CCIE will start a contract, then he or she (the versed CCIE) will become part-time and a much much less experienced (usually new CCIE or a former instructor) will enter into the picture. It's a win for the new guy because he or she is getting the much needed experience (@ a nervous pace I might add), it's a win for the contract company that is paying the CCIE peanuts and billing big CCIE dollars for their employee, but unfortunately the customer generally loses. I have seen entire government (hard to get fired) contracts canceled after 12 months of shenanigans such as these.

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.
