CCIE SP or CCDE?

You may be thinguide i’m moving too fast…You may be right…

After passing the CCIE lab, i found out (no that i didn’t know it) that all these years i was keeping myself in a low profile and everyone (especially my employer) was taguide advantage of it (something not censurable, since most employers do the same; that’s part of their job). But when my salary is below CCNA’s average, when i’m hearing many different excuses and all of them are confuted step by step, then there is surely something going wrong.

So i’ve decided to take the next step and go for another certification. At the same time i’m probably going to search for a new job (i had already made some contacts before), trying to peddle my CCIE. If i find one that fulfills my requirements (bigger salary and/or a higher position are the most important), i’ll probably delay (or postpone) the next certification.

Now my dilemma…I’m thinguide about CCIE Service Provider or CCDE.

CCIE Service Provider is already quite known to me, because i work for many years in an ISP and i know most of the stuff. I just need another 3-4 months (hopefully) of hard preparation and surely a good understanding of MPLS. Maybe i’ll also try the CCIP before it, just like i did with CCNP.

CCDE is the new Design Expert certification from Cisco and it seems quite interesting. I’ve read the written exam blueprint and i must say i’m excited about it. On the other hand, although it’s not a requirement for CCDE, i’d like first to pass CCDA and CCDP before trying CCDE. Just like i did for the CCIE. But the topics for these 2 exams seem a little bit boring…a little bit theoretical… Nevertheless, a 4-digit CCDE is quite tempting! (here is someone who passed the written).

Anyway, i ‘m not in a hurry right now. Whatever i decide, it’s going to begin after 1-2 months.

I have also created a poll, so i can gather others’ opinions. Please take a moment and vote….
