We have collected some statistics about the Cisco CCIE certification which is considered to be the top spot you could get in the Cisco certification pyramid. A lot of people would be asking me about the total number of CCIEs who are present in the world, the starting salaries of CCIEs, and also which CCIE track would be considered to be most demanded in Job openings, so we did some research and presenting you the results below. If you too wish to become CCIE, you should check out the courses offered by the SPOTO Club.
