When @Keith mentioned the importance of being kind to everyone, it really resonated with me. This is because the industry is filled with individuals who act as if they have all the knowledge in this world and tend to belittle those who are still in the process of learning and self-improvement. I can relate to this personally because I've been on the receiving end of ridicule for asking questions when I didn't understand something. I've been told things like, "As a Sys Admin, you should already know A, B, or C." In other words, I've faced criticism for not knowing everything, and it's a sentiment that many people in the industry can likely empathize with. Thanks for the interview guys

The interviewers listed of technologies and I wrote them down in a notebook i brought. I stumbled across this video whilst doing my research. Crazy little coincidence. Very good advice

I did it through the Army. Joined as a Network Operations Specialist. I guess that’s like NOC analyst. They paid for my college and all my certs. Decided to stay in apply/become a Network Operations Warrant Officer. In civilian terms, that’s a Network Engineer. Never thought I’d be doing IT stuff when I was a teenager. They trained me from the ground up as a teenager with zero experience. Pretty legit gig, especially the 30 days vacation and my whole family’s healthcare is taken care, amongst a multitude of other valuable benefits. In several more years I can retire from the military and be paid half of my paycheck for the rest of my life. Thats going to be over $50k-$70k a year for doing absolutely nothing when everything is said and done, for the rest of MY LIFE. Then I can get a civilian job paying me $100-150k on top of my retirement.

This is a great conversation. I started into IT back in 1986, working at a computer lab at a FAU. I helped build out and manage multiple computer labs, both open and instructional labs on multiple campuses. Netware 2.x - 5. Microsoft DOS all the way up to Windows 11. Windows servers from 2003 to 2016. I also did technical support -- upgrading computers, fixing printers, computers, repairing network jacks, installing network gear. I started helping the networking team by installing and configuring switches. Sometimes all I needed to do was reboot a switch, bridge, or router. Then I got offered a network administrator position. Retired out of the university after 30+ years. I am doing DOD contract work. Folks, do your people networking and don't be afraid to volunteer. Be nice and don't beg. Get your certs, especially if you want to any DOD contracting. Check out requirements for IAT levels I, II, and III. check out DOD 8570 requirements.

In the last 8 years, I’ve moved from a Intern, to Helpdesk Technician, to IS Technical Assistant, to Endpoint Specialist, to Core Technician. I want to move to the next step, but the step is such a big step it is really difficult to find something that I feel is worth it. I am studying my CCNA, which I think this will help push me into the next step. I want to do Network Architecture for Data Center networks eventually, it’s a far way off, but it’s my goal. Any advice to get there as quickly as possible? I’ve tried so many different courses, StormWinds Raymond Lacoste has helped me more than anything so far.

I like the themes of this discussion WITH THE GLARING EXCEPTION of the question "How would you suggest someone get their first job?". Because Keith completely and utterly WIFFED on this question. WHY? Because he's never had to look for a job, people have always sought him out. Well that's all well and good but he's completely unqualified to help in this regard. AND don't give me that trite, "I make my own luck" or "When you really want something DOORS OPEN UP" because there are quite a few people who really want something and STILL can't find a job. They're doing everything right, they're working hard to learn, they're practicing, they're putting themselves out there and all that. Keith simply can't relate because he's never been down that road so his advice doesn't help people that are already doing what he's suggesting and not finding jobs. ALSO his presumption is that you're already working in tech. What if you're in another field transitioning to tech. I mean come on. His inability to relate to other people's plights just shows how lucky he's been throughout this career. We should all be so lucky.....but many aren't.
Thank you for your content, I'm finding it very helpful. Elevator pitch... I'm 50, disabled vet, did signal in the army, did network cabling after. Both fiber and copper. Built server farms but never got on the other side. I quit to work on some issues I had going on from the army and to take care of my kid. Now he is 6, I'm getting a divorce, she cheated, and I'm trying to reboot my life. Being network engineer will piggy back of the other stuff. The army I worked in a mobile noc. So that's it. I'm just starting this journey, so I could totally go a different way or not doing anything at all. But thanks for sharing these.

Regarding the pay raise conversation, HR is also part of the problem. They generally won't give someone a 100% increase from 30K to 60K. It might take 5-6 years. I agree moving to a new company is an excellent choice. Keith and you made a great point that if you perform well and don't burn bridges, you can always go back to previous companies. I have been at 5 companies in 12 years and this ultimately helped me build more skills, and reach a very high salary.

I spent 7 years in I.T. in the military and now I'm training at a trade school, I'm 27. The best advice I have is to develop a "problem solving mindset". Everything is figure-out-able. I also disagreed with some of their advice as I was listening, though. 😅 I'd say to expect to get laid off, expect to be set up to fail by negligent leadership, and always have backup plans for your income. Being nice isn't as important as being aware of how morally neutral most people are.

I'd also add to @TheBeardedITDad's question to please not get to hung up on certs. They are good. Education is good. Experience is a game changer. Rather than aim for a cert - aim for experience. Yes, some folks who hire put a lot of emphasis on certs and they can be a good basic way to show some level of understanding. But we all have stories of the guy with 50 certs who actually couldn't do anything. If you get the experience, you can answer the question about what you want to do in the field and then follow the certs path toward that. If I were you, from the cabling side, work backwards and see what you can learn about the device that plugs into the wall and then uses your cable to get to the device on the other side of the patch panel. :)

@@armandosoria7993 Then part of the answer is whether or not you want to get what you need to get a job at that company the IT guy is at. There, they probably value certs quite a bit. The industry has not come to a consensus on their value. Only the hiring manager can answer that and it's different at each company. If you go for certs there are plenty of basic one's that won't take you long to get. Then you can build more certs from that base if certs are your focus. There's really no wrong answer. You may find that one cert is worthless at place A but you must have it at place B.

I'll take any advice... I'm an IT student at the moment...I've been trying to get knowledge on computer networking since September by doing free Cisco courses and gaining skills from Cisco packet Tracer...still doing the same till now. I'd appreciate any advice on ways to gain more knowledge or even use various tools for skills also especially on what a network engineer should actually be working on....

network, system(server), and cyber security is not engineering actually. They are called as engineering by average people but technically they are not engineering at all. So you can be an IT specalist if you want. High school level basic math knowledge is more than enough.

Would it be a good idea for anyone starting with networking to do a ccst?
@TheBeardedITDad

If you're just starting with networking, doing a CCST could be a good idea. It'll give you a solid understanding of the basics and help you kickstart your networking journey. If you have some networking basics then it is not necessary.

not at all there will always be networking... what do you think is connecting all the servers and devices in the cloud.
