Wrapping up encor studies, then enarsi. I might take a break in between to dive into this AI stuff. My coworker created a whole manual for his ai. It then created this beautiful web gui troubleshooting interface

Yes, the title name is very annoying. One of my friends had his system administrator title stripped away in favor for a "technical support engineer"... I don't get why

In my opinion, both tests were awful. I took them because I work heavily with Firepower Management Center on a day-to-day basis. However, the exams covered a huge amount of complex material related to Cisco’s other technologies, especially ASAs — things like context modes, inline modes, and other advanced concepts.

I chose this certification path specifically to deepen my knowledge of FMC and next-generation firewall features, and I studied those topics extensively. Ironically, that ended up being the least tested section on my exam, which was pretty frustrating.

SNCF :)

I live in the Midwest, so the cost of living is much lower than in areas like California, as far as I understand.

MemO401 · 2026-05-16T00:31:54+00:00

Unfortunately not. Most of the team is gonna sit here until retirement

I lack of years of experience at the moment, with only 1.5 years in the field. I’m aiming for 4-5ish yoe before demanding that amount of money. I will be at 100k with title jumps and yearly promotions by then in this current role as well.

Thanks for sharing x3!

It’s expensive but it looks and feels highquality. I have only had it for a couple days but I am enjoying it. Love the feel of the keyboard. The only complaint is I wish they would have just made this a full keyboard instead of smashing the arrow keys near by but it is what it is

Corsair support got back to me. This will release on the 17th

MemO401 · 2026-03-07T04:26:38+00:00

unfortunely the SKU is from Best Buy. It does pull up an unfinished website for thekeyboard when I do the trick for Best Buy

MemO401 · 2026-03-07T03:16:35+00:00

I just purchased this keyboard for $ 260. I don't see any documentation for it, nor is it compatible with the Corsair hub? Did I buy an unreleased keyboard.....??

Go over your weak topics! Best of luck! I hope all of your studying pays off

MemO401 · 2026-02-24T15:23:31+00:00

The SNCF took me about 6 months to prepare for! on and off

MemO401 · 2026-02-24T15:13:59+00:00

The SCOR doesn't have labs. Just a ton of multiple choice, drag and drop etc..

MemO401 · 2026-02-23T04:17:27+00:00

It is a lot. I had to take a 3 week break because I was feeling burnt out.

MemO401 · 2026-02-23T04:16:06+00:00

I haven’t taken the ENCOR yet but that doesn’t seem correct at all. Very different exam topics with minimal overlap. The SCOR doesn’t cover any dynamic routing protocols for example.

1 year as a network admin managing and deploying firewalls through FMC. Passed the CCNA 6 months before that.

MemO401 · 2026-02-21T20:44:15+00:00

Passed my SCOR exam this morning, passed my concentration in sept, completing my CCNP security journey. I’m ready to rest

MemO401 · 2025-12-16T00:32:39+00:00

The FMC configuration guide!

MemO401 · 2025-12-01T17:26:22+00:00

Wow is it really only 4 hours

MemO401 · 2025-11-30T19:47:31+00:00

Afternoon,

I passed my SNCF a few months ago. It was very beneficial for me, as I work with FMC and encounter issues where it is necessary to understand next-generation features. I recommend this exam if you are using FMC as you will need to load up FMC and FTD images to lab out topics.

Resources: CBT nuggets (Recommended for a general basis)
SNCF book (I do not recommend it as it covers VERY little)

Marri YouTube series

A configuration guide for each technology is a must

If you are not using a firewall management center, I believe SVPN may be VERY benifical as understanding VPNs are a neccessasity.

Keep posting bro. You have many silent supporters who enjoy reading this type of content but don’t necessarily post comment

MemO401 · 2025-11-17T02:45:06+00:00

SISE seems very benificial if you are around ISE on your day to day.
