The exact change
"ENCOR's SD-WAN and SD-Access coverage rewards candidates who approach it architecturally..." - Kevin Wallace, CCIE and Cisco Press author [...] "I studied for ENCOR for 14 weeks, passed it, and took a 3-month break before starting ENARSI..." - David Bombal, Cisco instructor and network engineering YouTuber with 1.7M subscribers [...] the CCNP premium in most US markets is $15,000-$25,000 annually over CCNA-only credentials. Senior network engineers (5+ years, CCNP) earn $90,000-$130,000 in most US markets, compared to $65,000-$85,000 for CCNA engineers.
ENCOR's SD-WAN and SD-Access coverage rewards candidates who approach it architecturally... [de-attributed] [...] A common mistake is taking a long break between ENCOR and the concentration exam... [de-attributed] [...] CCNP holders typically command a meaningful annual salary premium over CCNA-only credentials in most US markets, and senior network engineers with several years of experience and a CCNP tend to out-earn CCNA-only engineers by a wide margin. Check current salary surveys for up-to-date figures.
Suggested change
De-attributed 2 fabricated named-instructor quotes (1 with an unverifiable inflated subscriber count) to plain prose, and softened uncited precise salary figures.
Why this is better
De-attributed a fabricated quote credited to Kevin Wallace, and de-attributed a fabricated quote credited to David Bombal that included an unverifiable '1.7M subscribers' claim (Bombal is a real YouTuber but no locatable subscriber count matches this figure). Softened uncited precise salary premium and salary-band figures to qualitative statements with a pointer to check current salary surveys.
