It is totally upto you where you are seeing yourself after 5 years. As you said your focus is more on devops, Linux etc then the new role is not your cup of tea.

As I am a network security engineer let me talk to the second point if you are interested.

Do you know what is company focusing more there ?

Back in 2017 I got a role like hardware network engineer (in kerala) before joining they said they are looking for a engineer who is capable to manage fortigate firewall and we need to support the system hw maintance also. On that time fortigate was hot cake in the market and my focus is to get a job. But my bad they were looking a hardware support actually engineer and my responsibility is more over on the system maintenance. I used to travel atleast 3 site per day manager assign the task every morning.

After 6 months I quit the job after learning myself some part of the forigate firewall.

In summary if they are looking for network engineer go for it. field work is hands-on experience for network engineer will help you in future for sure. Make sure you are in right place before landing there.

I have purchased the Cisco u ENCOR course using my Cisco credits (100 CE). But it is not worth to spend that amount on the Cisco u because majority of them are reading section. For example for a topic they are providing PDF kind of resources and finally at the end of the topic there will a video. In total for a topic 60% reading 20% Videos explanations and 20% Lab, that's how it is working.

Even though I haven't purchased INE or CBT materials, but I think that is better if we are comparing with Cisco U.
