For those going to Manila for this year's APRICOT meeting, I will be
part of a panel that is discussing this very issue - about the dwindling
talent pool as it pertains to those with the hard skills, that were able
to train-up the the next generation of network engineers:
https://2023.apricot.net/program/schedule/#/day/11/panel-discussion-internet-operations-talent-drain
While it is focused on the ongoing battle between the ISP and content
communities, it has not spared the talent situation in the vendor
community either, as this thread is clearly exposing.

Sadly, as folk move up in career, title, status and income, they tend to
become less useful on a real, practical, rubber-meets-the-road level.
Which, in all fairness, I would be okay with if they had a team that
made them look good. But in most cases, they don't even have that, or if
they do, find a proper way to muck that up as well.
It's a general issue - not to pick only on Cisco.
Ah the days when a post on cisco-nsp or nanog would get Tony Li
answering with a detailed solution. I'm getting old :-)
Thanks to all for your recommendations.
