Hi all, I've decided to make the leap to the dark side of IT and take on the huge challenge of the CCIE R&S. To give a bit of background, I have over 13 years experience in Wintel and Virtualisation.

Good luck on your journey, remember to not kill yourself over it. The CCIE Lab exam is a challenge dont' get me wrong but don't let it take over your life, I see other posts on here of people losing fiances, girlfriends because they are studying too much.
Get the balance right, get the support of your other half and you will be good, set a study timetable and stick to it.

This is a marathon and not a sprint, you need to learn this stuff inside out. Get some CCIE training videos, when you are ready go on a bootcamp. Just make sure you are doing something every day, even on your down days just read something for ten minutes.

Then one day it will all come together, that is when you really turn up the focus and just lab solid until the big day.

I have been up and down a few times but 2012 is going to be my year!

Good luck
