color:blue'>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.</span><span
