Im thinking about getting into networking but I read mixed opinions about
the IT field. Some say its boring, that its a dead end, that its all being
outsourced, that they are only doing something 30% of the day the rest they
are surfing the internet. Can some people who are actually in the field in
high tech positions give me their insight? Do you like your job is it
exciting? Im thinking of learning cisco. Id appreciate any help. Can you
tell me what a typical day is like as a network engineer.
IT related jobs with Network, Security, and Systems are top jobs in the US
and are not typically outsourced. Helpdesk and Programming positions are
usually outsourced overseas. IT is definitely not dead end with a lot of
opportunities available in this struggling economy. The opportunities
increase as your working experience increase, but that requires to be very
motivated, always learning, and working long hours. This process takes
years and is on-going! It never stops.
I was never laid off, but my average salary was $105K. But that's with 13+
years experience and my CCIE. When I was at a CCNA level with about 1-2
years experience my salary was between 40K to 50K. When I was a CCNP level
with about 3-5 years experience it was between $60K to $80. Got my CCIE and
got bumped up to $90K then from there $100K+ for the past 8 years. Those
numbers may have changed over the years and it depends on the company you
work for.
Hi. I was entry level about a year and a half ago. IT will never be
completely outsource. Ever. Almost every company needs a full time IT
employee. Im limited here so i wont explain in detail. IT is NOT a dead
end. There are many areas of IT one can go in to. You are ALWAYS learning.
You can specialize in many many areas of IT. You cannot know it all.
Servers, hardcore networking, simple helpdesk for end users and much more.
At the time, the test names were different like ACRC, etc. The Routing test
I took 2 attempts to pass. The switching test, dial solutions test, and the
troubleshooting test I passed on the first attempt. So, I completed the
CCNP in about 4-6 months. The routing and switching for the CCNP really
helped to prepare for the CCIE Routing and Switching shortly after.
You said you worked at companies where you had a salary of 120k. Were you
laid off? How much do you make now and what would you say is the average
pay for a network engineer with a few years experience?
