Hi all,
As an all-purpose leading network bod for my company, what���s a good certification strategy? I deal with a wide range of stuff from local LANs to international backbones, and it���s high time I got myself a piece of paper to ���prove��� that I know some stuff.
Is CCNA still a good starting point?
Hi,
I put no stock in certifications. Some hold different views, but, I don���t care for them. Some of the people at the top of my internal ���do not hire��� list for lack of skill are CCIE holders. While certainly not the rule, JNCIE tends to indicate a better quality of skill, and I understand the process to get it is a lot harder.
Anyway, the only value, in my view, is getting better discounts from vendors if you���re a reseller.
Given that, go down whatever certification track works best for your vendor to get and retain the partner status for your company.
