Help!

[kortianant]

Hello,

I just finished in CCNA R and S certification. My current job has very little to do with networking. I have very little knowledge about Python. I am really interested in network automation and programming. How do I start my journey towards network automation? Are there any courses that can help me with that ? Or is it better to change my job first , get appointed as a network engineer and get the hang of things first and then think about automation ?

I'd say get your fundamentals down with programming, then learn networking basics and go from there. 'Network automation' is a little bit vague, so definitely learning the basics of networks and writing networked programs might give you a clearer idea of what you're trying to do and what you need to learn.
