Day In The Life of a Network Analyst | NOC

Hey guys I am currently a network analyst with hopes of soon moving into Cyber Security.
In this video I will be taking you guys through my day as a network analyst working out of a NOC (Network Operation Center).
Its really hard to film in these types of environments so please ask me any questions you may have in the comments below.

Keep pushing man. Im a Digital Forensics Senior, but I started as a NOC analyst.. it will get frustrating and boring, but keep pushing and stay on those certs.

Hello @BandTube, care to tell how was the evolution of your career path?

[@ZulhaamID]

I'm looking into forensics too. Currently I work as a Network Engineer. Could you inform me what are those path you've been taken?

[@Ali-zd4sz]

@@ZulhaamID hey bro so I’m currently working as a level 2 tech support specialist. I graduated with a 2 year network admin/analyst degree and working on my CCNA. What’s your best advice you’d give me on cracking a Networking job. I keep getting declined because no Networking job history.

[@ZulhaamID]

Hi, @@Ali-zd4sz I can't give you solid advice since I have just experienced my network career in 2 years (still ongoing). But, from my respective, I did my internship previously before I have my work now and my degree just correlated with my work now (I have a degree in Telecommunication Engineer). Maybe you can pass the CCNA exam first, edit your cv with the specific networking jobs posted and apply for it. Maybe building a presence and having digital portofolio on networking (writing/blogging/KZbin-ing) will get your chance higher. Keep fighting!

[@dadonvon23]

Just like one of the top comments said. Great to see brothers doing their thing in the IT field. Just overcame complacency and landed my first EMR help desk gig. Now I’m here trying to brainstorm a my next move with something i think i will love long term with my current gig and I was thinking something along the lines of systems analyst with EMR systems. But anyways keep doing your thing brother. Glad i came across this. Love seeing ppl who look like me in this field. It’s rare here in NYC.

[@Stoneface_]

I watched this video a year ago when it was recommended to me by KZbin and since then, I began watching tech videos mostly about networking and cybersecurity. I was motivated by this video to get a career in IT and network monitoring interested me. Few months ago, I began applying and I here to say I've been accepted for a NOC technician and I've no networking experience except the networking courses I took in college. I'm ready to work extra hard to get a SOC analyst role by April next year. That's my goal 🙏

This was the insight I was looking for! Thank you much 😊

[@billrussell4832]

Nice to see a brother out here putting in the work. I'm double majoring in aviation and information tech. I want to be an airline pilot and at the same time do remote IT work. There is alot of time off as a pilot, so its good to make that extra bread.

Great Video Man. You smart as hell for taking on that project. I'm a Core Network Controller for the 3rd biggest network Company here in South Africa and it's quite interesting how your day or shifts rather are a bit different from mine. Basics pretty much the same though

Thanks for sharing man, switching into IT right now and looking at networking as an entry point. Definitely appreciate you putting this kind of info out for those of us that haven't experienced it yet. I only watched the first few seconds of the vid, though, cause of the Braves shirt, didn't expect much after seeing that.....just playin. Thanks again man, good stuff. Go Tribe.

Any update?

[@rickyticky3350]

I worked as a tech support specialist before the pandemic but got laid off. It was my first tech job and I loved it. The pay was awesome and the job was so laid back. It's something I wish to do in the future and I want it to become my future career.

[@drumyogi9281]

What was the pay?

[@Stoneface_]

Since you've helpdesk experience, you can apply to desktop support or network analyst/technician role( assuming you did some networking work on the helpdesk)

[@nettoalves]

Thanks for your time and share this routine. I'm trying to become a Cyber Security too.

[@oluwatosinolayemi7319]

This is a simple part of the life of a NOC analyst or specialist. Many times, it could be so rigorous, especially where outages are increasing and prolonged and network availability (PTTCH) are dropping. They called us essential workers! I do work 8am-7pm and vice versa depending on the shift. More like a doc/nurse kinda life; working round the clock, especially during the pandemic while keeping the world connected, irrespective of the security situation. Glad to see this!! I'll be moving on to greater things in the IT soonest. The work is most times monotonous, could be boring and too routine, but so draining too cos you're always resolving issues, escalating almost all through your shift and creating and closing TTs. I work in the biggest Towerco in Africa. Nice one!

Haha, I watched this video last year when I was working in basic pc hardware job where I was just testing parts. I have been working in NOC for 6 months now. I tell you, its not for everyone. I never went to school for network but I was lucky to get the job because I interviewed well. I have a slightly different take on it. My shift is 1 PM to 9 PM. This shift allows me to go to school in the mornings. There is so much to learn and to do as a NOC person. The only difference of my rewatching this video is that the first time, I could not relate and didn't understand the video. Now, I am part of the video as I live my life as a NOC Engineer.

My manager is going over data recovery training today of which I will be responsible once I completely learn it. Once in a while, I get to train with the Help Desk department to get used to talking with clients. One thing that is stressful part is not having enough experience speaking with clients on a regular basis as Help Desk does.
