Hello,
Anyone have any insight into what the best track to take would be in terms of the CCNP and CCDP certs? I know that they are, at their heart, different tracks (operations vs. design). However, is there a trend in industry that places more emphasis on or other? I read recently (I believe on TechRepublic) that the CCNP was falling out of favor at the expense of the CCDP, yet the job boards seem to suggest that the CCNP is more "valuable" based on jobs listing required certs. I currently hold a CCNP and would like to begin thinking about my next cert direction. I suppose I could obtain both, but I don't want to waste time and money on a cert that is in its sunset phase! :-)
Thanks for your input!
