“I would rather work in a position I loved than make four times the salary in a position I hated and that took me away from my family. Find the position you love and embrace it!”

Demystifying the Roles in Networking
These days I get questions all of the time about what role should I go after? How can I start in this role? How can I get a Networking Job? What certifications should I focus on so I can make that next career move? These are all great questions, but the answers do depend on a number of factors. What are you good at? What do you love to do?
Within this page, you will find resources to help you understand the different roles we have in networking and the steps to obtain these roles if you so desire. This content is real and raw content, most of it with guests that are actually in the role we are highlighting, be it a Network Engineer, a Network Designer, a Network Architect, or a DevOps Engineer.
Personally, my end goal is always to find people the position and role that they love because that is so much more important than doing something you hate every day. This doesn’t mean you would love every aspect of your dream job… there will always be tasks in any role that you will not want to do. But if you can wake up excited about your job most days that makes a huge difference in your life!
