@@imadeddinerahmane1555 thanks :) I got it almost 5 years ago now. thank you for the suggestion. But the short of it is - the certification is what you make it. The end goal is to get the knowledge. And the knowledge is still definitely worth it and in demand
This video came just in time. I just got my bachelors in IT and now i'm at a weird cross road of what to do now?.. also, the studio is clean! not too little and not too much!

First Time I see your channel and specially this video I told my self" oh God I need to follow this guy !" Amazing content and information keep going .thnx
can you show how to create a better portfolio (about what you have done networking), do you think about have links so the HR can access remotely to your lab or home network u have done?
South texas. Like the valley harlingen ..Brownville ?? I want to be a network engineer some day. Its all I can think about. But it's hard finding the right road. Currently on help desk position. Hopefully that would lead me towards my goal.
A company gave me a position as a IT coordinator with network administration experience but I have some yeats that I have not practice or perfom duties as a network engineer and I am afraid if I can not resolve a network issue due to the knowledge lack, should I accept the position?
Hi i would also like to ask u instead of doing a BE degree in IT if i do a Bsc degree in computer science or something will it have the same value in US or canada ...or is the BE degree much more superior ...? ...in my area there is a college offering BE Networking and also a college offering BSC computing and software engineering so i m really confused what to do as the BE program is lil out of budget... ? ...
Hi Jorge, do network engineers ever run and install cables? How much physical can this job get? Can you describe the physical requirements for being a network engineer? Thank you so much!
Depends. Network Engineer is just a title, so it matters what company you work for. I've seen Network Engineers who work in NOC's, run cables all day, provide end-user support, or all of the above. In IT you'll have a lot of titles, but the job doesn't line up with what we know it to be, that is because every company has different needs. Physically, I would say it's your standard, "Can you pick up a 10-50lb box?" if you can do that, that's about as physical as it'll get unless you're implementing a new network rack into a server room, running cables all day, or getting a new office setup for your company. Like many jobs, it can be very minimal physical work for 2 months, then very physical for a few weeks depending on the events. You may never do anything really physical aside from picking up a 2U switch or new box from a vendor.
It does depend on the job and especially your qualifucations. Kust starting ojt with or without a ccna, its probably just basic physical stuff in the beginning at least and progresses slowly. Well, "physucal" is the wrong word. More like laborous. installing devices in a rack on the field for a client, plugging in as required. Just basics work so the pros CCNP and CCIEs can remote on. Probably for a different company.
Thanks for the giving tips. As you are network engineer please give me some suggestions. I am 50 and electrician, my aim to work like in networking, got CCNP but don't know how to start carrier in networking. Thanks
Hi I'm new here and I've been looking at getting into IT. I've come across the compTIA ITF Course and exam, is this the most basic course as I'm pretty much a complete novice. (I do learn quite quickly though)
It's very rare to land a mid to high level job as a Network Admin or Network Engineer without any prior IT experience or IT background. Most Network Admin jobs requires 3 to 5 years of experience. You generally start out as a Help Desk Technician before moving up. For Sys Admin guys Desktop Support is generally the next step up from Help Desk before moving into a Jr. Sys Admin role. For larger organizations, everything is moving to the cloud since the traditional Network/Systems Administrator role will soon be obsolete thats evolving into Cloud/Virtualization which you could be working for a 3 party IT cloud company or MPS. Microsoft already retired their industry standard MSCA, MCSE for Windows Server Administrators replaced with Azure Microsoft 365, and Cloud Administrator.
@@abdulrahmanhs8162 Pay their dues. That’s essentially what he’s getting at here. No one or no company is going to hire some no experience having nobody a Network Engineer job right from the start. You gotta work your way up starting from the bottom ie. Help desk, desktop support, coffee fetcher, etc.
I want to break into cybersecurity, but I know I have to understand about network and system administration first, and cloud, and virtualization, and servers, and OS. The only decision I still don't know is: which way to take first, or... in case I take Network, after my Network+, should I go deep into Network and get a CCNA and CCNP before going to Cybersecurity, should I start learning more about system admins subject like Active Directory and OS, or should I go to Security+ and learn all of those other things I said previously as I go?
Thanks for the great comment :) much appreciated. While I agree that you will need to learn some networking and systems administration before getting into cybersecurity - I don't think you need to become certified to do so. If I were you I'd get a decent understanding of Windows AD environments, Linux CLI, and some CCNA level knowledge of networking. You can do that through content online or on training sites. I dont think I'd bother with any of the CompTIA certs though. The Cyber Mentor youtube channel is a great place to start with Penetration Testing once you've picked up some of these skills above. You can get it done much faster than you think!
@@JorgeAlmazan you’ve helped me so much. Thank you. I really appreciate your help. I’ll do exactly like that. I screenshot your comment cause I’ll need to read it again to remember. Thank you again.
Hi Jorge! I’m new to this IT field but I’d like to try it, network engineer seems interesting , do you think is possible to be a network engineer in 6 months, there is a program that advertised that it’s called NEXGENT , or should I go to a college like CIAT which last 2 years Thank you in advance!
miriam fuentes hi Miriam I’m personally not familiar with that program. But I definitely think it’s possible to get CCNA certified within 6 months using self study and probably the fraction of the cost. It’s what I did and it has worked out really well!!
Jorge Almazan thank you for your response, I always try to get answers from other you tubers and they never reply back, I have other questions, what certifications/ skills would you recommend to be able to pass the CCNT/ CCNA, do you think the FSNA- full stack network associate and FSNP- full stack network professional would help Thank you so much Jorge!
@@miriamfuentes3034 personally I think using multiple vendors for you training needs is always best. For CCNA level, I'd recommend ITProTV and CBT Nuggets. The FSNA is really aimed toward becoming a jack of all trades. CCNA will focus more on diving deep into networking if that's what you love. You can learn about other disciplines in IT as you go and grow.
Libra Gang wow that’s great! I didn’t know about that assessment test, how does it work? I think the next program begins on October 16, do you think studying for the ITF+ and A+ is a good idea, what do you think is a good idea to study before getting into the program? Thank you for your information, it was very helpful
Libra Gang wow you just finished the program, that’s great! Congratulations! And congratulations for getting hired at your job👏🏻 That’s good to now, i will be probably half way to finish the program too but I was debating on going after software engineer and thinking things so much, but now I won’t waste my time again, thank you so much for your information, you should become a you tuber lol
Should I skip comptia A+ and go for network + or will I get an entry level IT job after getting A+? I'm a bsc graduate in computer networking with no relevant experience.
A+ is a more well rounded cert. It also covers the fundamentals of Networking. Now Net+ is just that. It’s the fundamentals plus a little more. It builds off the network section of A+. I think skipping A+ is not a good idea. You are better off doing A+ and if you want to go the networking route you should consider CCNA.
A+ is always good place to start alot of people recommend A+ , Network+ , then Security+ .. in that order of difficulty A+ is the basically computer foundation. im in college (&) they make us take the A+ while we in college.
Hii ...i really need ur help ...i am in 12th grade and gonna finish it really soon ...a college near my area is offering a degree in computer engineering with pathway in networking.....i m really kinda interested in this degree but i m really confused like what exactly does a network engineer do...i am blank and have no idea about it ....also as u said certification courses are available so should i only do those instead of going to a college ...last thing can i get a desk job as a network engineer or only hardware stuff like dealing with switches and firewalls ...also is it having good demand in canada like any idea ...plz do help ?
What action are you going to take TODAY to BECOME or be a BETTER Network Engineer? Also, what do you think of the new background?
I like the CCIE certificate behind you xd... Please speak about your experience with CCIE , and is it still worth it ?

Nice video man; You were really going in on what people needed to hear! Much luck and success to you
Thanks for your advice I really appreciated it. ❤️
Background looks great! Thank you for all the tips Jorge.
Thank you Daniel!
Thank you Jorge.
Thanks. Very useful information. And your studio is cool. 😎

MIND BLOWN!!! Thank you for the tips Jorge. Great video and content.
Thanks Carlos!
In Austin texas Visa reportedly pays 324k a year for network engineers. Thus why im pursuing it lol.
Did you make it?
can you show how to create a better portfolio (about what you have done networking), do you think about have links so the HR can access remotely to your lab or home network u have done?
thanks for your Advise I applied for the role with Cisco I noticed Your work there I cross My finger

You would be wasting your time with ITF in my opinion. Just go for the comptia A+.
