CCIE job prospects

[bushface]

I am finding the current job market to be very slow. During the last 3-4 years, I was able to move from one job to the next within a few days of finishing a contract. I am a CCIE R&S (lab) and CCIE voice (written) but I have been out for over six weeks and counting! Hopefully, things will improve when the budget for the next financial year is made available to managers.

I agree with HRH.

I'm also a CCIE. I get lots of calls for permies with Cisco Partners but not many contract gigs.

Most of the contracts are with the banking sector.

I'm a CCIE. Based in London so not exactly the same market (More financial here, which is hardest hit), but from what I see there aren't as many jobs out there and rates are flat or dropping slightly.

He'd get work in London no worries.

Permie I've no idea.

Affiniti are ALWAYS looking for CCIE's even if there's nowt advertised on their website. Up north they have offices in manc, hull and edinburgh. PM me for a contact email if you like.

Just trying to help you answer your question

No problem - Its not for me, but a mate looking at moving back to the UK. Just trying to get a general feel for the market rather than a search on jobswerve or the like which isn't always the best guide.

Because there's no such thing as a false job or an agent fishing for leads on jobserve is there?

I get lots of calls for CCNP roles, have you tried typing CCIE into the job search engine on this site?

Anyone know the demand for CCIE (R&S) engineers in the UK at the moment? North West in particular, but the person in question in flexible.
