CCIE is a consultant level Path which is surely very good to have,still i am not with you in saying that other professional certf.'s is merely "non-sense",as i needed each one in a specific point in my career(customer side,provider side,and high level design tasks) and they all helped as i took them to understand and not to just place in a CV,still they have a value no doubt in any network engineer CV,in my current position i now need management related courses and certificates more...

Still I am waiting for an answer that can assist me in having a round figure for what I would ask if I am fully successful in my application...
