      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.

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

            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.

                            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 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?

                              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.

                              What a general career in networking look like?

                              Doesn't have to be specifically Cisco

                                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.

                                      I would think Enterasys and Juniper would be pretty big competitors. I'm not sure though I've never seen anything like this published.

                                        Yes they are. Cisco being on top right now was the main point I was trying to get at not to include all of the competitors. My bad.

                                          This is just personal experience here... but for me, I learned far more about networking after I landed a job in it than I ever did from getting my CCNA... It's very very important that you understand the principles of it, but not that you have every command memorized (unless you want the certs).

                                            I'm going to say this at the risk of triggering Scott but I haven't seen ANY jobs not require certs here. So yeah, you're probably right but I still need to get the certs to get the job. They will at least teach me conceptually. I can build from there.
