Cisco doesn't need a R&D budget. Just an acquisition budget.
Sdwan is better placed than traditional switching and routing but it’s a competitive space. I think cisco has 45% mkt share in sdwan but it includes meraki and asr/isr with sdwan capabilities.
Sdwan is toast
I guess any group not mentioned is fair game and the financial performance of each will be a factor for how many LR's are required.
Does sdwan come under cloud or routing ?
SP, routers, switches to be whacked hard. GR 11 & 12 to be decimated. No individual contributors over 55 to on the payroll.
Ouch, ouch, triple ouch. Throw in my skin color, and I’m gone.
Security isnt any safer than anywhere else
If you’ve been 55 and only working in the IT since you graduated. You should be able to retire very comfortably. 32 here and on the path to retirement at age 45. Saved money in 401k from first paycheck.
Security & Cloud will not be touched. SP, routers, switches to be whacked hard. GR 11 & 12 to be decimated. No individual contributors over 55 to on the payroll.
I'd assume if you're not on the list CR mentioned it's fair game
