CCIE Is it worth it? What path should you take?

[@KielMartinCisco]

My 1st attempt I knew I failed. My 2nd attempt, i failed the TS so I spent the configuration time playing around and looking at the entire exam......smartest move I made....... My 3rd attempt, there is a 50/50 chance. In my heart I knew I got at least 80%. What I did was go back and check all of my l2 and L3 stuff when the clock only had one hour left. Finding those mistakes got me my 80%. I just did not know if I got 80%. I knew I passed the TS, because I did the same thing i did in the config section. I was not finished all my tickets, when there was 30 minutes left, so i reverified my finish tickets first and found 2 errors and then went back to finish the last two questions and I ran out of time. So glad I went back to re-review at the 30min and 60min marks on my TS and Config. So i was hoping that I got enough points on that configuration but in my heart I knew. Very good statement brother, very good video. Thanks.

dude is there lot of maths involved.

[@KielMartinCisco]

@@MrSam9860 Sorry for the delayed response. Not alot of math, but thought process, theory, implementation. As for the math, you do need to know your subnetting, there is no getting around that. 13years in the Networking field, i still do subnetting as a troubleshooting and desgin method. Most i do in my head, but as a design method, i use pencil and paper and verify via subnetting calculators just to make sure

I would like to get my CCIE eventually. I want to chase down a $200,000+ annual salary.

[@gregburns5905]

Probably not the best reason to get a CCIE in all truthfulness.

[@tdang9528]

Lol....

[@JJEarls147]

Hi Rob, What are the links to manual documentation for the lab exam. A lot of the older resources I see for this exam are old links that no longer exist.

[@xkrzypandax]

Thank you for such an informative video, may I ask how did you run across a group of dedicated engineers in the community?

[@dantevalle7126]

There I go.

[@hvcool]

Is there a written-down study schedule for CCIE RS out there like an excel sheet for example read, cbts, and labs? weekly hours etc

[@mr.fluffyham]

any tips for CCNA plz 🥺 thank you

[@justinoleary911]

it was worth it in the 90's. now ccie is incredibly underpaid, compared to basic devops jobs with k8's and python skills

[@Frissdas1207]

I have never met an underpaid CCIE.

[@efrainsanchez1999]

Does ccie require coding?? I want to start but havinf trouble with coding

Hi there. Is a Senior Software Engineer making more money than a CCIE in the USA?

[@rinkumishra2259]

I am CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certified. Now I want to recertify it. Can I choose the below path? 1. Earn 40 CE points 2. Pass 350-701 Security core technology exam.

[@你爹-y3f]

lol how many channel do you have ？

[@yishakhaile9539]

Congratulations! How much time it took you to get your CCIE after being CCNP CERTIFIED and Can you estimate an optimal time for a CCNP certified person to get its CCIE?

[@mrchow3233]

I got mine around 7 month’s after.

[@kazuthegreat]

​@@mrchow3233that's pretty quick. What resources did you use to study for the CCIE if you don't mind sharing?

[@mrchow3233]

@@kazuthegreat Well, usually i’d say it’s going to take a year atleast. But I was pretty much studying for that long, because I had no work or anything. I used Narbiks course, Jeremy’s Lab Cisco Labs/Home Labs, and books. I would say Home Labs, and Narbiks course helped me the most.

[@RomeoYong]

I got my CCNP in November 2019, do I have to do the ENCOR before attempting the CCIE or can I start studying for the CCIE and get it done before the CCNP expires?

[@sagarr353]

It's mandatory to write ENCOR as per the new syllabus to attempt CCIE.

[@cycleof7s438]

@@sagarr353 yea but in Romeo Yongs case, he has the old ccnp which automatically converted to the new ccnp. Im not 100% sure but it think since he has a valid ccnp, he can take the ccie lab.

[@Blecyn]

CCNA and I am done 😂🤣 so CCIE is not my business I guess 🤦🏽‍♀️

Certs are worthless. Just perform, that’s all.

[@falconfurry6432]

Who told you that... Certs give the power to bargain high salary.. Cert is the prof that you are a master.

[@sandiego1936]

@@falconfurry6432 No my senior network engineer with 20 years experience is smarter than the two CCIE's that works with him! Lol

[@falconfurry6432]

@@sandiego1936 There are thousands of fake CCIE just ask them a question about what they see in exam hall.. they wont be having any answer

[@batserke6006]

I understand what you mean, but certs are not worthless. For example, if you have a potential custumer that is requesting someone with a CCIE to do the job, you will lose that customer if you don't have any engineer with the CCIE cert. Not to mention, people with a CCIE get faster access to cisco support. So in the end, it's not worthless.
