Umm...
My employer calls for a CCIE as the first selection criteria for employment.
I am the first employee in my position in over a decade to not have a CCIE coming in the door that I'm aware of.
So... some employers do require a CCIE but due to supply/demand/interviews (by a proven CCIE, etc.)... every once in a while a CCNP - like me might actually get a break and make the cut.
They make me work for it:
Today:
1. CSS Load Balancers
2. Firewall/NAT TS.
3. IPSec VPN
4. Misc. Switching
5. Wireless
6. Layer 1 TS for Cabling.
7. Wireless Design and Provisioning
8. Nexus/Switching BoM Review
9. Cisco WCS Planning Tools
10. Mentoring Co-worker on CSS, FW, and Switching + TS with Debugging and Visio
11. Writeup for Trunking/Etherchannel/Spanning-Tree BPDUFilter/Guard/PortFast etc.
12. Writeup for Debugging Spanning-Tree
13. Visio Diagram for the Load Balancers
14. Meet with vendor for Fluke Optiview
15. Certificate Validation
16. Step by Step Write-up for Load Balancer Config with Validation.
That was all today... alone and I'm sure I left some stuff out.
On the private side:
Review of broadcast traffic effecting network performance and design, backup and procedures, review of a network analysis I performed with Sniffer Pro and my findings...
The list goes on and on...
Not bad for a Thursday - I was almost burnt out from Wednesday - didn't give up till I gave out after midnight Wednesday night.
We are on Friday morning...
This is Sparta baby and every day is a CCIE Lab or maybe more...
