I'm not going to get into specifics about salary, but I once had a
headhunter tell me that based on my experience (3.5 years at the time) and
my CCNP & CCDA certification, I probably wouldn't make more than $40-50K.
Needless to say, I was WAAAAAYYYYY over that number when I signed my first
and only offer sheet. It all comes down to whether or not you know your
stuff, and if you can do the job.
The moral of the story is... headhunters don't know you, or what you can do.
If an employer is going to make a decision on you based on that number, you
probably don't want to work for that employer anyway.

Subject: OT: CCIE losing clout?
While talking with a headhunter recently he made these comments.
"I don't really work with CCIEs over #6000 cause they're only able to get
about 85k cause companies know they don't have the experience. Companies
aren't impressed by these 6 and 7 thousand numbers, they might as well send
one of their CCNPs out. The 2000 and 3000 numbers are still well respected,
with 4000 and 5000's falling in between."
Anyone else heard these types of comments?
