12:33 Very nice that you're interested in the Cloud☁. But don't underestimate [the power of] GCP!

At the same time 7:22, we said that your score was 900. With that preparation you described, it had to be at least that.😄 Also, you get a pass for not making that Certpocalypse deadline. Sorry you wasted your 💵 & ⏲. As you said, life happened. As I or we say, "Yeah. For sure! THE PANDEMIC HAPPENED!"😅

Real talk when I call my tech department I can hear the stress in their voice, it like they’re afraid of what’s gon be asked 😂.

Boutta take my test next weekend, god willing we will PASS it!

Poor network design and security engineers would chew you out 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂 good one

That response is priceless.... (Long thought. Strokes chin) "What?" 😂😂😂

It's been awhile. Your hair has gotten so long!! Hope all is well!

I don't understand what he was talking about, but it sounded bad.

My homeboy had a bbq and I was trying to get information about IT and anyone I know in the field likes to Gatekeep. Do your own research! props big ups!!!!

congats bro studying for my ccnp 2024

Thank you. I m graduating from college with a Computer Support & Network administration Associate. I want to get the CCNA Certification to help me land job. I was wondering if we could chat and if I could be blessed with a little bit of your precious time to answer a couples of my questions? Thank you in advance 🙏🏾

Started watching your vids again man but religiously this time, thanks for the motivation

Get those gains bruh! 💪🏾

I’m currently studying for the ccna, don’t have any job experience in IT yet. This video really helped a lot when it came to the interview aspect and what to expect and what I should really focus on in the scenario of the interview. I really appreciate this content.

Congrats always great seeing the process, I already got my A+,AZ900,AI900, heading towards my Linux assentials, Net+, and Sec+ god willing

Im here bro I started following you around this time and currently really on the road so excited and will try to following your way thanks alot bro 🙏🏾💯

Can confirm this video is outdated. There are labs now and they are time consuming. Additionally, the exam leans into automation more than other subjects. The exam reflects the concepts listed, but one requires a very solid understanding of the topics rather than merely being able to interpret, compare, or describe them.

You do know you can purchase decaf coffee at any grocery store🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What’s the difference between network admin from sysadmin?

How long did you study for network+

Dope Video, bro. I'm also going for my CCNP and doing the ENARSI before touching any network automation content. The content int he advance routing, I feel like, seems to be the meat and potatoes of what I've seen in my networking career, valuable knowledge to have and take with you in your networking career. Best of luck, my guy!

See I found wireless design exam I got was pretty straight forward. I passed it first go. However the implementation exam was horrible. Without saying too much a lot of the questions are ambiguous and in some cases down right misleading. I feel for both they’re asking questions more akin to English questions rather than clear and defined questions.

you stupid lol

I wish you would do a video on the direction on cisco, i wouldnt get a ccie unless ur just gona work with cisco the rest of yr life, i say that to say the 2nd and 3rd players in the industry have combined- Aruba Networks just bought Juniper Networks so cisco is no longer the top dog come 2025, that means they HAVE over taken Cisco in terms of marketshare, products, clients, etc even the gov who almost exclusively uses cisco is starting to go away from it, My advise to u is get a cert thats not cisco, ur a net engineer, that means u work on anything, any vendor, any device, guys who stick to one vendor their whole career are often limited career wise & earning potential wise cuz they only know one brand of device... i got guys with ccies on my team who have no clue how to operate palo alto firewall, no nothing bout juniper switches etc, cuz they are restricted by vendor, they ask net admins for help... u gotta start diving into other vendors especially now with the merging of Aruba & juniper networks, even palo alto now has monopoly on firewall technology, u gotta keep up with this new landscape

I’m looking into starting off IT HelpDesk Technician. USA army will pay my certificate free.

Thanks for your encouragement it really helps just to see it’s almost the samething am going through.I just stared my network journey and very excited and bless big up!

Congrats again. I’m trying to pass it right now. Failed the first time. Imma attempt it again once I go over the material more.

God bless you for this video man. I’m a single dad in helpdesk and this motivated me to continue studying for my certs and not lose focus because it is possible to move up.

😂

You inspire me

Mans dream

Hey Brendan! I'm happy to see you back creating videos again and it's been awesome watching your content over the years. I'm approaching 2 years in IT now and working as a System Administrator working with a bunch of different technologies. Cloud may also be in my future as well! ☁ Also, congratulations on the new job opportunity! 🥳

As a wireless engineer, what is your experience with esxi hosts?

Hey, thanks for the valuable information. When you get a chance, could you please update us on why network engineering is coming to an end I planned on being a network engineer after I graduated this year.

For me right now, I'm in college going for a Bachelor's in IT with an emphasis in Network Infrastructure. Pretty close to getting my associates actually! My semester break and summer semester is coming up soon and I'm thinking about getting my A+ over this time, which I'm hoping will help me in the long run especially if I wanna work in IT before I graduate. But probably next year or so I wanna get started on studying for my CCNA, its something that I think would be really beneficial to have once I graduate. Though, I'm worried that its gonna be hard to study for considering the time it takes to study (I've heard it takes upwards of 6 months) and my school workload and a part time job.

Would be interesting if you did a “day in a life” of a network engineer!

Great to see you back Brendan! Curious to hear what you think about Cisco U vs CBTNuggets. My wife and I just had our daughter on Valentines day so studying definitely took a backburner. Putting my foot back on the gas for ENCOR 💪

Being in IT in general is never what it used to be. That cycles every 1-5 years with the next major breakthrough. Network engineers will always be relevant, their job duties will just be different.

Thanks for the upload, and confraty!...would you mind addressing the importance of fitness in the IT industry...i havnt had the chance to watch all of your videos or see if you already addressed this...I look at th eolder guys in the IT industry and alot of them have very poor health due to our sedentary work....i see u manage to keep it together and advice for the guys

I can't wait till I become a Network Engineer and my first certification will be Microsoft 365 900 MS Fundamentals

First watched this video two years ago while studying for my Network+. I had zero networking experience but was able to convince my job at the time to pay for my training. The Net+ cert led to me securing a job with a 40% pay increase. Two years later, I’m finishing up my preparation for CCNA and have already started applying for network admin roles, just to see if anything happens before I actually take the exam.

I guess that's a tier 3 escalation 😂

Leaving the joke aside, can the IT Helpdesk actually educate the IT naive employees? What seems like fundamental knowledge for an IT person is not obvious to others.

Just came back after a while to see your progress bro and you been working hard, makes me proud I followed, keep going!! 💪🏾

I'm transitioning from being a health coach/trainer to network engineering. These videos are great for a confidence boost. Nice job

Get back to work

Hey Brenden, I've gone through so many of these same things with my career and personal relationships and work life balance. It put me in a bad space for a long time. Thank you for sharing your story and bring so open with us. I'm working on a new segment for my youtube channel where I interview people in IT who can share their stories like this to help others. Let me know if you'd be down to interview on my channel. Cheer bro
