CCIE water cooler gossip: CCIEs are bringing home the bacon for Cisco

By Brad Reese on Fri, 10/17/08 - 8:50pm.

Over the past seven years each CCIE has annually been averaging $2M in net sales and $397K in net income for Cisco. Perhaps this might explain the motivation behind Cisco's new authorized CCIE training program.

Listen to Ken Presti's podcast:

Cisco puts CCIE learning on the fast-track

Furthermore as detailed in the below chart, Cisco is actually "averaging up" in both net sales and net income per CCIE.
