    I’ve been looking at the CCNP for a while, I don’t need it for the work I do at my day job, so I haven’t prioritized taking the test or anything.

    I should do more work on it.

      What’s your day job? From my understanding if you can get a CCNP you’re gonna be making over 100k after a few years if you’re able to get your foot in the door experience wise

        There’s the problem. I can’t get my foot in the door for network-centered jobs. I have a ton of experience, and a CCNA, but all my experience is while working as a generalist in an MSP.

        There’s a sort of curse in the industry where msp work is easy to get into from college/uni, but hard to evolve away from.
