Where I *have* seen it helpful is in specific cases where a company was anticipating needing a CCIE-level applicant at a future date.
So the following: CCIE Routing/Switching - Lab Scheduled 6/2003 Might be helpful. The CCIE written qualification alone hasn't helped anybody that I know of.

I know that your not a CCIE without giving the actual Lab part of the exam, but how does the CCIE written exam scale on its own, career wise. Does it help improve job prospects. What are the benefits of this exam on its own, or is it totally useless without the LAB part. Say if i never appear for the LAB, for any reason, would the written exam be any worth of mention, like say on my resume or as a credential. Thanks for all your advice in advance.
