      I think you guys have a mostly accurate assessment of my personality type. I'm sort of funny. I make sure everyone knows who I am and I have 99% positive relationships formed with everyone. I put my feelers out recently and have come up empty. Where should I be networking now? AA meetings?

        Professional events. How often are you at meet ups for your technology choices, for example?

          I'm going to Mangocon? 😄

          Honestly, practically never. I guess I should put myself out there more. It's like speed dating for a job huh

            Check out SpiceCorps local to you. They can be iffy on content but the real reason you attend is to interact with people.

              I'll do that. They do message me pretty frequently.

                It's a full time job. You'll be working as much on this as you are at your real job.

                  Full-time job
                  Studying for CCIE
                  Family Expectations
                  Networking
                  Inevitable Death

                    That's good, but not local. For you specifically, local is important.

                        That was the group that @bsouder @katie and I started! We all bailed out after some serious drama, though.

                            There has to be a Cisco Users Group in your area, they would be able to get you into a networking gig.

                              I'm looking into a career in networking, generally speaking. I think a lot of knowledge comes with studying those certs. That's the real objective.

                                I think you guys have a mostly accurate assessment of my personality type. I'm sort of funny. I make sure everyone knows who I am and I have 99% positive relationships formed with everyone. I put my feelers out recently and have come up empty. Where should I be networking now? AA meetings?

                                Professional events. How often are you at meet ups for your technology choices, for example?

                                I'm going to Mangocon? 😄

                                Check out SpiceCorps local to you. They can be iffy on content but the real reason you attend is to interact with people.

                                I'll do that. They do message me pretty frequently.

                                It's a full time job. You'll be working as much on this as you are at your real job.

                                I'll just add it to the list of things to do:

                                Wedding Planning

                                Full-time job
                                Studying for CCIE
                                Family Expectations
                                Networking
                                Inevitable Death

                                Is the CCIE going to advance your career? Are you looking for a career in Cisco networking?

                                If so, are you hanging out non-stop with the local Cisco club(s)?

                                Didn't know there was such a thing

                                    Be aware that networking careers are widely available and pay well but are very limiting. There is no networking in the SMB field. So you'd have to make the jump to enterprise which isn't bad in and of itself, but it is going to heavily limit your options.

                                        I worked at a major hospital before I got the job here. At the time I was making less than I do now and only doing desktop support. While working there I started supporting a few doctors offices (friends of mine) and they had 7 rounds of layoffs. I was let go due to seniority. I took this job because I wanted to use it as a learning experience where I understood all aspects of running a businesses infrastructure.

                                        Totally fine with enterprise.

                                          How much of the enterprise does Cisco own? I've never seen specific numbers so was curious.

                                            Unsure of exact numbers but I think they are the front-runner with HP and Dell competing.
