The exact change

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.

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 an unverified quote credited to Kevin Wallace, and de-attributed an unverified 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.
