$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rostov', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', 'T')he Man has decided here recently to get us all CCNA classes and if we choose we can pursue it farther with a CCNP/CCND or even CCIE.
CCIE's write their own ticket. We're talking 100k+ easily, I think the average salary of a CCIE certified individual is like 140,000 a year. Very, very big money.
Specop,
Your company providing you (free?) CCNA classes is nice. Does it come with paid-for certification (or out of your pocket)? Further certifications are nicer too -- CCNP, CCIE -- but do you have to pay for these out of your own pocket as well? (loan?) Or do they put you into an employment bond (good and bad) for, say, 4 years or so after they pay for your final CCIE? CCIEs are rare, and they do write their own pay, but it means your company would face losing you after you achieve CCIE for a bigger paycheck elsewhere. That's after they've helped you (pay and) obtain your CCIE.
Is it the lure of obtaining more dough for any reasons -- stockpile; prep country; etc -- that makes you want to stay? Did you actually have plans to move out of the city just before the CCNA ticket or something?
The whole schebang is on the company dime. Nice eh?
I have no idea about no compete clauses or anything. Hell, I havent even gotten the CCNA yet so I havent looked into it.
I had always had thoughts about moving out in the country, but usually it was just a bit farther outside the city. You know, live outside the city, commute in. Its just that property outside the city is *expensive* to say the least.
