Certification Recommendation

[brianwri]

I've looked for an answer to this question but found none, so I'll post it here. I have a network with 20 6509s, over 500 other switches, over 8 firewalls, 2 ISPs, BGP, EIGRP and OSPF.

I currently have a CCNP and I'm the lead engineer, on a network this complexed is there a Cisco recommendation of the level of certification we should have. I'm trying to justify my job in funding my CCIE studies so any official Cisco documentation would be a bonus.

This might help it is Cisco marketing. http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/employers/index.html

You might want to gloss over the "CCIEs have invested a lot to expand their knowledge and further their careers. The average candidate spends thousands of their own dollars "

Also you might want to post in Career Certifications if you haven't allready.
