Jaspreet- It's just my .00000010 cents, but I think your thoughts are right on target.
I personally think that the CCDA would be the next step for foundational purposes of making a well-rounded CCIE candidate... but as others will comment, you don't need it to pursue the CCIE LAB. After the CCDA, than I would go for the Security Specialization, which will also build more foundational knowledge for working around Voice Networks and maintaining Network Security. Again, this is just my opinion, based on what I've observed in the last year. Good Luck!

With not too much hands on experience and equipment to work with . I am wondering what to peruse next . The ultimate goal is towards CCIE however I believe that It would be fair to attempt after a couple of years experience to be a true expert . Meanwhile I am wondering which certification to peruse next which helps me move towards my goal as well as makes me broad base in knowledge . Thoughts in my head have been - 1. Security specialisation 2. Voice specialisation 3. CCDA Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated .
