Cisco Associate NCE Program
Is anyone familiar with this program and how it works beyond what's posted.
Obviously this is in RTP, NC, and you would be sleeping, eating, and breathing Cisco for at least 8 months or more till your brain explodes.
I'm just wondering if this is a paid or non paid gig?

Their campus is nothing short of beautiful. -

okplaya Member Posts: 199I have no doubt that it's paid. You could probably check on glassdoor to see if anyone has done it.
All I can say is wow! You have to pass the CCIE written in the first 4 months, and then the lab in the next 4 months. Basically you have to get your CCIE in 8 months! Not saying it is impossible, but many folks would not make it. For someone with very little experience this would be extremely stressful. Cisco is serious! -

I think “very senior” gets stuck in there because the last six yahoos that applied for the position couldn’t tell a packet from a Snickers bar.
Luck is where opportunity and proper planning meet
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
