After CCNA, what next?

I've recently gained ccna and I'm looking for advise on what certification to go for next.
I've just started new role as a 2nd line network analyst, and the aim is to progress into network administrator before getting into network engineering.
I don't want to start ccnp yet as I've literally just finished ccna and I think a bit more real-world networking experience in my new role would be helpful first.
So, I was thinking along the lines of either a hyper-v or vmware certification next. Any of these two more useful than the other, especially stating my aims of moving to net admin/net engineering?

Hold off till you get more experience and get your CCNP. -

For my position now it would definitely be the ccnp. I want to progress into net admin/engineering though so I'm looking for what would make me more marketable in a years time for these type of roles.

I would go straight into CCNP.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS -

Have some rest from studying and then go to CCNP RS.
Ive read CCNA/CCNP stuff and CCNP is really a boost in knowledge. -

I see nothing wrong with going for the CCNP right away especially if the goal is to become a network engineer.
