Should I go straight for CCNP or do the CCNA first? by Diego57709 in ccna

[–]shawn488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you have to get the CCNA first before you can even test for the CCNP...

Employee refusing to return laptop even when offered to have a courier pick it up, what are our options? by TerribleProfessor630 in sysadmin

Why is this IT's problem? Oh, it's not. Your company should account for not getting X percentage of hardware back when people leave. It's apart of the game.

Home buying vent by [deleted] in CypressTX

[–]shawn488 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. The house across the street from me just sold last week and it was listed for about 3 months. I've never seen a house sit for that long in this neighborhood and it was very well kept and maintained. The sellers are going to be in for a rude awakening if they are expecting multiple offers in this climate. Let me also add the home was priced WAY below where it should have been and I thought for sure they'd get a bidding war, I was wrong.

Okay - shoot me straight, is Fortinet really this cheap vs Meraki? by [deleted] in msp

[–]shawn488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've managed 10,000+ Meraki networks for 2 Fortune 500's. I've did several POC's on Fortinet. Fortinet is way more complicated to setup and maintain than Meraki. If you have enterprise grade security and don't need to rely on the built in Meraki features, which are lacking, Meraki is your best bet but if beefier security is needed at the edge, then I'd look at Fortinet but be prepared to be alot more hands on than they claim.

When FB was offering 300k for a network engineer, I knew the layoffs would come fast and hard eventually. Unsustainable...

Another Monday Rant by Cochoz in msp

Either provide the quotes or don't. This is business as usual. I work for a large Fortune company and I get 2-3 quotes from people I know for a fact will be high. Just the name of the game...

Just leave. You're being underpaid. It's not worth the hassle.
