color=#0000ff>I'd say it depends on the role, what the knowledge and skill set
is expected. In general I'd say a CCIE is more valuable than a CISSP, it's
harder to obtain, but it really depends on the requirements of the role. For
example if the one of the main requirements for the role is about about managing
risk than a CISSP is probably better suited than a CCIE
R&S.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>
