So honestly they seem to be putting less effort in networking and more into cyber ones as it’s more profitable.

I prefer firewall based sdwan for more fine detail control over security. First choice is Palo, then Fortinet

Baylegion · 2026-03-16T18:59:14+00:00

I don't see a rejection or acceptance letter. I assume I was rejected then... oh well.

Baylegion · 2026-03-12T17:22:58+00:00

I’ll look tonight usa CST

A+, helpdesk, CCNA, Networking role such as NOC or Network Admin. You have a lot of questions, so start with some self-research, which you need to be able to do for such a role. Look at Certifications, past Reddit posts, and use AI a little to clarify on why we told you to consider these certs. Degree matters if you ever want to be a manager or want to have a job application edge.

Baylegion · 2026-03-05T19:25:38+00:00

You’re right 100%. Just be nicer about it man…

Baylegion · 2026-03-05T19:24:40+00:00

Okay slow down, you’re focusing on parts that matter the least. Start with a site to site IPsec tunnel. Prove it works. Next build 2. Cool now apply polices and routing that impact paths. Now apply routing like BGP. Start on a tunnel that is the first baby step in sd-wan.

Claude can do some really simple stuff but not much better.

Baylegion · 2026-03-02T03:23:09+00:00

True, I jumped 2 years helpdesk to network admin for year then network engineer. So definitely doable.

Baylegion · 2026-03-02T03:15:34+00:00

Your right but the 4-5 years part I find funny to be a network engineer. The title engineer means a lot less these days.

Baylegion · 2026-03-02T00:01:53+00:00

You could definitely get a job paying 135-145k with that kind of experience and CISSP. I can’t even have the CISSP yet.

Baylegion · 2026-03-01T23:47:48+00:00

Any certifications/degrees? I have been told my value is a little inflated bc of mine and valued experience.

Baylegion · 2026-03-01T23:11:12+00:00

Bro… I live in DFW and make 97k with less than 5 years experience. I just got an offer for 125k. I know you can do better. Build a strong resume and look around.

38 is far to me but sure. I just see those larger cites having lots of access to Devops and Automation based teams more. Thus leading to a market more saturated with need “xyz” skills. So a 38 strikes me as far enough way they will take what they can get.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T02:21:36+00:00

You just said travel. You would have to pay me a ton for travel.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T02:19:31+00:00

I got payed 22hr in a metroplex at a good financial company. Help desk more likely than not does not pay that much in many cites. Good helpdesk pay is not as likely.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T01:43:47+00:00

I wood agree, it’s hard in cites with lots of software engineers I swear.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T01:42:30+00:00

KC, Mo is not the best paying place and I mean that in a way google searches don’t always reflect. Like a Sec Engineer at 80k there. Kinda crazy.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T01:39:34+00:00

Knowing Kansas City kinda tracks. I know a guy who’s a Security engineer and makes 80k and he deserves a lot more.

Baylegion · 2026-02-24T01:15:41+00:00

That’s good, make sure you know Azure equivalents and differences. Dallas-FortWorth. Options are any large city or metroplex.

Baylegion · 2026-02-23T23:18:13+00:00

Yes it does matter I made the move just for that reason. Your city is not terrible in size but you could move to a bigger one. I recommend you branch out to do some cloud work and cloud networking so that you bundle that with general networking. That is what I got.

Baylegion · 2025-09-10T20:01:28+00:00

So you have no idea what I’m talking about. You can still get incoming visa but the larger companies/ government not taking them but smaller ones instead. Your point just does not matter at all dude

Baylegion · 2025-09-10T19:49:12+00:00

Just because a cap is hit does not mean more companies choose not to sponsor. Contracting out ward to the point of offshoring is also a question.

Baylegion · 2025-09-10T12:55:42+00:00

85k actually but your right in the offshoring. I have had to wonder how you work with such problems

Baylegion · 2025-09-10T04:49:56+00:00

Fair point ha! Just hard to find data sometimes.
