Salaries for CCVP's

RandyCCIE#TBD

Hello all - I'm wondering if anyone could give some feedback on what their experience is as far as salaries for CCVP's. I'm debating on whether or not to go for the CCIE in R&S or to diversify my skills a tad more and pursue a VP. Money is my primary concern.

Thanks all!

Well -- the CCVP might pay for the CCIE R&S.

The CCIE will get you a larger salary, but its going to cost you a bunch of money.

The CCVP also needs some equipment -- but you might be able to use CCIE Voice Lab rental.

The ideal solution -- get a job with a Cisco Partner who has the CCIE Labs, and study for either the CCVP and/or CCIE while getting the experience (and practice) and getting paid.
