What to do AFTER you pass your CCNA?

Go wide. in 2024 we are no longer expected to know just some routing switching and wireless. Get a firewall cert, I highly recommend the PCNSA. Learn an IPAM tool. Learn wireshark. Maybe even get that cert. Learn, and also maybe cert, in a load balancers. Something like F5 or Netscaler. And give or take your current work environment start learning cloud networking. Not an architect cert. But the networking cert. Lastly start learning some scripting.

This will make you a bulletproof network engineer.

Okay I have an interesting question for you. I’m 27 and originally graduated with a masters in social work. When I was in High School I wanted to do engineering but changed that due to hearing so many people dropped out within the first year lol. So I honestly let fear get the best of me. But recently like 4ish months ago I’ve started getting an interest in Networking. So I contacted some friends (some in comp science, software engineers, electrical) to see if they could point me in a direction. So after work I’ve been trying to learn more and more about networking by readings (suggestions from friends that graduate in engineering) and labs. I’ve also been working towards a CCNA. If I passed, I was gonna apply for entry level jobs to began then start trying for higher certifications and maybe go back to school, but only have though a little about going back to school cause I’m mostly focused on CCNA.

So my question is should I find an entry level job first or try getting my CCNA and then apply for jobs?

Do you have a video on Cisco DevNet? I’m still preparing for my CCNA but I was thinking about taking the DevNet before the CCNP.
What’s your opinion on it?

Hey, I majored in education with a masters and became a teacher. During my 2nd year, I got my A+, then I switched into IT. Currently, with my 2nd IT job as a field technician/helpdesk for a school district. I have about 2 years of experience and just acquired the CCNA. Do you recommend I follow the path of your Roadmap video? Like get a NOC or network admin? I ask since my major is not in IT.

take us in to work at night with you, i wanna see what you do on an average night as a network engineer. If your company will allow that of course.

After CCNA look for those 100k full remote 2 hours/day entry level jobs.
