@@thesocialdork1133 Hello, I will graduate from electronics and communication engineering in 3 months and I want to work as a network engineer.

Bro same I'm in final year of Network Engineering and developing a network solution for a medical center, and trying to implement PACS, it's fun but yoh stressful
As an IT expert for years and in recent years specializing in networks and network security, I can say that it is really exciting to work as a network engineer and contributes a lot to the design of IT infrastructure and security. Specialization in certain market-leading manufacturers is necessary but that applies generally in IT. The same goes for responsibility and, if necessary, availability. My colleagues as software developers generally have more stress and less variety, not to mention the creative opportunities.
I agree with some of these points but I already work with some network engineers and they work from home and are pretty much off of work anytime they arent needed.
I can take your reasons not to become a Network Engineer and flip it. #1 reason to become one is job security. You just have to take measured steps, continue learning and make sure you don't burn yourself out.
How you can gain without any pain? How one can stop of burning out? If you put yourself for challenges you can never ever step ahead. Period! These challenges really tests your skills and strengths and take you at next level. These challenges are only altitudes that tests your attitudes. Most of people use one lunatic, idiotic and baseless term i.e. Smart work. Its really bullshit term or word, ever heard on this planet. How one can be simple without going into details? Same applies here, how one can reach to the next level without being skilled or capable of that level? I have seen many mother fucker managers who always wants to sit in their offices and just segregating or making some idiotic and nonsensical analysis on Excel sheets. They even don't know what's mean by the word " Manager ". They don't know how to manage scope, schedule, cost, quality, communication, procurement, nothing all of it. Everybody wants to be fucker Manager, no one wants to be SME [Subject Matters Expert]. This is one of the main reason, people don't want to work but to reach at top. And then, they got inspiration or motivation from Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, John Koum, Jack Ma and many other but they don't want to know or discuss how hard it was for them to reach at that level. How much did they work hard with consistency. They worked to their "Butts off". Its the only way of Glory and Heights. Period!

I'm a Network/Software Engineer by profession. The thing I hate about Network Engineering is having to travel to different locations and sites every freaking day, which is not what I want or like! I'll rather get back into doing Software Engineering! Yes, you need to do a bunch of certifications and licenses, which really sucks! You have like a dozen vendors you need to certify on, which is annoying! Network Engineering has pros and cons!
As a network engineer there's no 9-5 job. Its a 24/7 standby for any emergency, Example i got calls and remote session most of the midnight timing which is irritating and tired.
25 year IT veteran. The biggest challenge becoming increasingly so over the past 10 years is the need to have experience with multiple vendors for each section of networking. CCIE? Great, but you will need experience with 2 FW, 2 LB, client/site/cloud VPN experience, and likely 2 SDWAN. It is likely that you will be pushed to automate solutions as well - so, one will need to decide if they are going to stand firm on engineering vs. ops - and in ops you'll likely get responsibility over the config mgmt and deployment pipeline, so automation.
Couldn't agree more. You are on point. pressure pressure pressure. off hour/weekend work, on call. Im so close to quiting today but I dont know how to do anything else.
Dealing with angry users its very tiring 😭, and it also require some physical energy where you should be going around helping users and doing some network installations.
Coming from a Dev background, with 2 years of experience. I’m still a junior dev at Government Insurance Company in my current city. While I’m new to industry, I’m very intrigued to learn more about Network and Infra. It’s interesting to see the downsides of networking. Thanks for the video!
💯 agreed...for engineer from fresher till 20 years..As a software developer developing networking devices and software he needs to understand only c or Java and algorithms. But as Network engineer working a configuration technician he has to keep doing certification from fresher till 20 years he is forced to do 5/10 certification and that too at low salary than core software networking developers.
Thanks for your comment mate but where I will disagree is that as network engineers you are also forced to climb the ladder and slowly but steadily transition into more senior and manager centric roles where the need for constant "technical" certifications may cease. Its a good topic that leads to great discussion!
Hi, I think cloud networking is a completely separate domain especially with so many cloud service providers and platforms. Also, with any new field there is always demand before it reaches a saturation point, I personally havent ventured in that direction but would be keen on exploring more
Thanks very much for the updates , I really appreciate you alot and hope to be able to learn more from you in the future because I have gone one year and the half in my Network Engineering Program in NIIT and do look forware in doing my best .
25 years in the field and I can attest that I never expect to go out Friday nights. Expect some changes to last well past midnight. If you can, start your changes Saturday mornings. Do not do two changes at once or timed too closely to each other (also limit the # of changes for the weekend). Make sure your testers and/or other change implementers are lined up accordingly and have their cell# just in case. Expect to lead and own each and every project even if your part is inconsequential. If you don't have control, no one does. Try to move up the ladder to stop doing changes, but still expect some calls from Jr.'s on the weekends. I can go on, but I'm getting stressed just thinking about it. Save your money, invest wisely and retire early as you will hate this !Sht sooner or later.
Never join TAC support job if you want peace of mind, no time to eat food, constant pressure, after issue is resolved don't expect customer will leave you, they want RCA 😂
without network there is nothing Network engineering is a very cool thing to do 90 percent of people don't know how internet is working in the background... 😂😂
@@thesocialdork1133also network engineering market job is too less saturated than soft developing and new people in IT dont like networks or its too complicated for them
Honestly I would not be a network engineer if the profession is like you described here. Network engineer is not expected to work all the time after hours or during weekends, network engineer is not accountable to problems that are not related to networks, and network engineer is not help desk support, especially first level. If you found yourself to be in a situation where you have to fix everything that is not even in your domain, if you are expected to work 12-14 hours per day and during weekends, please leave the job, you are being taken advantage of. . While SE folks earn twice as much money while putting quarter of effort.
You set up the physical gear and check to make sure everything runs smoothly. I swear people make this job way harder than it actually is. The technology doesn't update literally every week. Pick a vendor or two to specialize in and just keep up with their advancements. Chances are that "big change" Cisco made is barely noticeable to the end user.
Hi Nathaniel, thanks for your comment. I will have to disagree with you on this. I am working for a government organisation where security is critical. We have our infrastructure that's already setup however every month or two months we have changes/advancements to our infrastructure with ongoing deployments + projects. But hey, we can agree to disagree ;)
I feel like you have to keep learning and upgrading your skills in any job. If not you are at a disadvantage. Gotta love self improvement or give up ambition. It’s a personal choice.
There's a reason why our career field is slim pickings for talent. No one wants to get into it, no one is really training to get into it. Shit is complicated, a million different vendors to learn, tons of after hours/on call work, everyone ALWAYS involves the network in ANY type of project or problem. The list goes on . signed - 9 year network engineer
Agreed. I'm studying for the CCNA and I'm already a bit disgruntled. Since there's slim pickings do you think salaries are above average for network engineers? Since they do hold everything in IT together they should be handsomely compensated.
Hi Erge, I would probably look at the cons of other fields as well and then choose accordingly, but if I had to choose one it would be Business analytics.
Hi mate, AS-BUILTS. These are documents that are made once a networking project is complete which includes all technical details/plans and any critical information that is needed to be included as part of the project documentation.
Nice to see another perspective. In terms of ai, do you the network engineer role is quite future proof compared to other it roles. The physical aspect of cabling seems future proof but do you think the computer work can be done by ai?
Thats a great question. AI is already integrated in networking however I strongly believe it will only make our jobs easier as you do need human intervention. You can check my video that I made on this very topic on the channel.

constant upskiling counts to alot of jobs / careers but the upskilling will be contributed with higher salary as well so its one side an advantage but on other side an disadvantage low skill or jobs without any knowledge requirement will be paid very low and u need to be lucky to find any job opportunity. with the fast and constant learning as network engineer u open ur own company and offer IT services on a low level to other small businesses or u can just search for relevant network engineering jobs vacancies and u will find plenty of them

You can work remotely too, but in some roles network engineers are needed onsite too to physically configure devices or manage them, depends on the role but can be 100% remote too.
I'm a Network Engineer for an ISP, 100% remote.
@@garylperkinsiii5140 could you please share a bit of your journey. It'll be a gift to an aspiring Network engineer from a bro. Like how much time it'll take, what and from where you studied, and finally how you landed your job? And yes how's career growth and would you recommend it for a fresher.

Instead of going straight to the point you're busy with other matters!
AI will replace you all very soon 😂
I can tell you've never managed an enterprise network environment before 😂😂😂😂. I do hope AI does something about people who try and talk about a field they know absolutely nothing about though.
