I doubled my salary after getting my first CCNP. This cert changed my life. And everytime I get a new one, my skills improve, therfore, I am more attractive to any employer.

@@joejoe2452 I got CCNP Enterprise in 2021. Then CCDevP (DevNet Professional) and CCNP Service Provider in 2023. Now considering CCNP DC for 2024. Why so many CCNPs? Because each track covers important topics that I need for my job. At the end of the day, it's just knowledge. Is it worth? 1000%. Every single person I know that has a CCNP, also has a decent job. Of course, ultimately it will depend on your goals. I would say, CCNP, AWS and a Fortinet cert will open any door. But, chase the knowledge, the money will come eventually.

I highly recommend the CCNP certification! It's a well known and valuable certification. Easy to find jobs with it. But the Core exam is definitely a tough one and needs experience and good preparation.

I have 9 years experience, Since I left the Royal Artillery (British Army) I passed my old school CCNA Switch and Router. I am currently doing my CCNP ENCOR Enterprise. To be honest I am finding the CBT Nuggets really useful. It's helpful in it helps me refresh skills I haven't used for a long time and is updating my knowledge on SDA, SD-WAN etc.. Things I have no knowledge on as I have usually worked with UK Defence sector business. They tend to have more traditional networks or air gapped networks

I you look at the Job market, you will see that Cisco Certification is still a requirement because as Jeremy Ciora Said: Many Company Just wanted to be like Cisco, so Cisco person could easily adapt to other Vendors equipment.

I hear a lot that networking certifications are not that useful today because a lot of companies are moving to the cloud and there are less and less network engineer positions. Ofc Cloud also means networking but not the same way as before.
@enriquegabriel77089 ай бұрын
I disagree. My team manages the networking aspects of a massive AWS environment and On-Prem Data Centers in multiple countries. Network Engineers have evolved. Traditional Engineers will struggle. But as long as the Network Engineer is able to adapt, then no problem.

@@wer_gumizz1012 I'm a Sr. Network Automation Engineer. That means, I have to automate the Network Operations regardless of the environment. AWS, Kubernetes, Firewalls, etc., are part of my daily routines. The traditional networking knowledge is necessary because I can't automate what I don't understand (e.g. New BGP peers). But once the fundamentals have been covered, I rely on tools such as Terraform, Python, Jenkins, Ansible, etc., to do my job. My role is like a combination of a DevOps Engineer + Network Engineer.
