Hi Jon, congratulation on this great achievement! Can you please share your impression about environment for online exam? I thinking about to start preparation for exam, but I had not so good experience with Linux Foundation exams (CKA) where environment was just awful. JNCIE exams are really more complex than CKA exams and the cost is super high and I just afraid that it will be hard to pass it just because environment is not convenient I hope you understood what I meant :)

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah felling unsure about what the actual test environment would look like certainly had me nervous my first go round. I'll see what I can put together. Best of luck on your IE studies!

Thanks 🙏 and congratulations on acquiring two recent Juniper certifications. I wish you the best on your tech journey!

congrats! i saw on your other video that you got your ccnp so you only had the ccie(wireless or infrastructure) left to take to reach the top level of cisco certs. what made you pick juniper over cisco certs when you only had 1 more cisco cert left to get? also what made you pick the jncie-dc when the jncie-sp was more in line with your ccnp cert? thanks!

Yeah so I learned Cisco when I was first starting out in the IT industry but it really came down to which one I interacted with the most. For me it was a constant interaction with Juniper equipment which made studying and working contribute towards the same goal. However if I'm being honest, industry wise the CCIE still holds more value over the JNCIE. As far as why I went with the DC track over something like SP, or ENT again it really came down to relevance I was seeing EVPN/VXLAN popup alot and I knew nothing about it. So the DC track at the time was the one that covered it extensively.
