I hope the numbers above would be able to inspire some of you to push harder for this prestigious certification. Thus, this would be able to prove that the CCIE is considered to be quite an exclusive certification.
So, you better believe that any connected professional will update their LinkedIn profile the moment they pass. However, it's also tough to vet the results. Let's go with that. Here's a look at those breakdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, 95 percent of the 51, CCIEs work in IT, networking, telecommunications, or network security. The remaining five percent work in banking, healthcare, oil and energy, government, and education. A quick spot check confirms that most of the industry-specific outliers have titles like CIO, senior network engineer, and solution architect. That's exactly what you'd expect, and leads into the next CCIE breakdown — seniority levels. More than 63 percent of CCIEs have senior, director, or manager positions.
Looking into the job titles of those 15, CCIEs in the entry-level category, they're mostly network or system engineers, which isn't entry level, but not necessarily management either. That's typical of a CCIE — or any expert-level certification. There's a certain point when most IT professionals decide whether they want to go deep or wide.
Brad Reese has also done a great post and made it his mission to keep up to date with the figures.
