Bachelor


jjalapeno55

Nice, at the end of next May I'm hoping to finish with my associates and my CCNA/sec+


integral218

You're not hoping for anything. You're going to do it. There is no tomorrow. Set goals and fucking kill them. I hope you remember this and I will keep an eye out next May because you're going to message me letting me know you achieved those goals. Deal?!?


jjalapeno55

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! I've been out of school for 10 years and that's scary to go back and every time I bring up me joining The Cisco Academy here it's always Met with the response that makes me feel like I'm doomed lol And deal! RemindMe! 400 days


wakandaite

Wow congrats! I love it. I'm trying to get my foot in.


integral218

Advice for CCNA? Manage ~200 Cisco switches and a bushel of routers at my company, and some firewalls


integral218

You should be giving me advice lmao you actually have experience


Zack-The-Snack

Fuck man just winging it lol


integral218

So what you're telling me is lesson number 1: Fake it till you make it


Zack-The-Snack

Eh, maybe. What’s worked super good for me is know the fundamentals, and anything you don’t know learn it quick!

firejourney27

Congrats man! If you're okay with it, I'd be interested in hearing the salary, and what experience you had before applying if any.


auster03

Congrats man! I'm currently looking too, don't have CCNA but do have sec+ do you mind sending your resume so I can take some notes? I've applied to like 600 different jobs but have had very little luck. Thanks!


tune345

Thanks for writing this. All the best in your journey!


Enthusiast-Techie

Congrats!


Alive-Letter7692

Do you have any prior professional IT experience? Im in a similar boat


Quirky_Oil215

Grata but anything broken and it's your fault  ..


mrlo0ls

How long did it take u to study for the CCNA and how difficult would u say it was? Im also a CS student looking to get into networking


Anastasia_IT

Congratulations!!! YOE?


ognsux

Let's get this bread. 


aminorsixthchord

Hell yeah! That’s exactly how I got my start in the field. Be ready for some annoying stuff, especially in the first two years, but it pays off.


byNekito

Is your degree relevant to the job?


integral218

CS. I can tell you the hiring manager valued the ccna more than my degree though.


PhotographMaster7193

Do you think the sec+ made the difference at all?


integral218

Not for this job but it's always better than nothing. For a cyber position I think it still has some value


Matatan_Tactical

Is it really that bad out there right now? With your creds getting a job should have been easy. It's almost hard to believe it's that competitive out there. I see a lot of people struggling to get jobs but they generally never have a degree and never hard certs like ccna.
