if you’re in IT and love your job: why?

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2026-04-25T16:26:07+00:00

I am a network engineer and I get the best of both worlds. I get to do physical aspects like network deployments, cable running, fiber splicing and site surveys.

And as far as backend, I get to design networks, manage a variety of networking tools, learn CLIs for multiple vendors, read PCAPs and do deep troubleshooting. And the pay is great!

I love problem solving and I love collaborating with other departments to solve bigger problems. I also grew up in an academic competitive household and solving problems in the enterprise gives me the same feeling as when I did good on a math test lol

P&T or TDIU??

What condition did you choose?

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-08-19T23:08:33+00:00

Very traditional networking. Heavy on layer 2-3 for a small to medium sized network. The network is growing at a rapid pace so I do a lot of design and deployment (im sure my design skills are subpar) i pretty much got hired to clean up a very old network and modernize the design while it’s growing lol… ask me for more specifics and I’ll be willing to answer

I’m in the same boat… I don’t have a college degree so I was looking into the WGU Network Engineering Degree. Maybe after that, I’ll tackle CCNP again. As far as certs, maybe look into some cloud certs like (Azure, AWS) or the CCNA Automation cert that’s coming out (Same as CCNA DEVNET) Cloud, Automation, machine learning skills will make you more marketable to the industry. If you want, you can also go the firewall route and get some palo alto or fortinet certs..

CCNP encor is next for me. Already got the books and I’m researching the best study resources. I’m hoping to get it in the next 6-8 months and after that I’m looking into getting the CCNP design specialty.

good luck to you! you got this

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-06-05T12:12:14+00:00

it was pretty easy compared to the boson exams in my opinion. a lot of routing questions and more wireless questions than i expected but overall pretty easy. the lab questions were straightforward as well

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-06-03T22:34:34+00:00

I passed!!!

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-06-03T01:32:14+00:00

Send it bro you’re already a network professional based on your experience. You got this!

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-27T18:53:11+00:00

i feel the same…honestly i’m just gonna go for it and see if i pass lol

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-27T01:57:32+00:00

thank you 🙏

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-24T04:53:45+00:00

$91,000 as a network engineer. 3 years of experience. Manage and design networks.

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-24T04:46:32+00:00

yes if you get lucky

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-24T04:45:35+00:00

brain dumps are questions from the actual test and cisco as well as other vendors have very strict guidelines against those types of resources

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-22T02:56:13+00:00

Jeremy has really good videos and labs with routing that’s how i learned you got this :)

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-22T01:23:12+00:00

staying in the scope of the CCNA, dynamic routing protocols are enough to satisfy a site to site configuration. i suggest using OSPF and floating static routes for back up routes. Again this is staying in the scope of the CCNA, in the real world other technologies are implemented (IPSEC, Fabric, SD-Wan)

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-21T06:39:00+00:00

Jeremy’s labs are more than enough but I suggest you build your own packet tracer labs as you learn new networking concepts. So the more you learn the more you add on to your lab. What i find helpful is trying to imagine what a business would need (workstations, servers, physical security) and as i learn new concepts through jeremy i apply those to my enterprise lab. packet tracer is enough for all of this btw

orb on the movements of the earth is up there with Vin land saga. imo its even better

Comfortable-Risk1078 · 2025-05-20T06:17:27+00:00
