Pandalet,
my company have hired plenty of people with single IR's, then they have also hired plenty with twin IR's. and I was lucky enough to be hired with no IR, which they nicely paid for.
but given 2 equal people they will go for the twin IR person, it all depends on who they have got on there list at the time.
BaronG,
you are right to feel nervous as the chance of not being hired is high, your problem however is you are competing against people who will take that risk.
this is not a career where you can look coldly at the figures and justify them to a bank/accountant. the risk/return ratio is to high to be sensible, however most people who persist and are "driven" make it in the end.
in the past like when I joined at the start of the century it was not a neccesity to have an IR as they were paying for them, but it is becoming increasingly more of a standard requirement.
regards
CF
