Yea but they [CSCO] can't afford me Here is some CSCO math to ponder on for a bit. .....true, an SE at CSCO gets around 70-85K average (some as high as 100-120k a year), but did you know that if you started at CSCO just 4 years or so ago as an SE you would be worth 7 digits in stock alone? Yep....they give 2400 option shares (after splits many have over 10-20K shares) to the SEs excersiable after 4 years of employment I believe.....Not bad...350k a year or so for 4 years work. And besides, CSCO does not have a major need for layer2 Ethernet packet sniffers. Now if your are IETF/IEEE material that CSCO could use to CREATE and MARKET new standards that meet their agendas...not just be able to read what existing standards stipulate that would be another story. But I expect that you do have addition network experience such as core experience in network design/implementation experience (multiprotocol routing/switching history to include classless-routing utilizing a link-state protocol such as OSPF over a broadcast network such as a non-point-to-point Frame Relay network (Multipoint), along with DLSW peering between SDLC peers on differing medias of course....MPOA mating of layer 3 routers to carrier switches with an understanding of the proprietary internals of CSCO's PNNI implementation could get noticed as well...or perhaps some LANE [god forbid]). If this is indeed the case CSCO may be interested. <G> Regards... PS:FTR I do not work for CSCO.....they could afford me if they REALLY wanted to make it work....but I dont want to work for them.<G>
