Making an update thread regarding the job i just took. Turns out its not what i thought it would be.. Mostly tacacs account creation, firewall acls , and dns entries . How hard is it to land a legit network engineer/admin role with the DoD/Government?(Im doing cleared work btw)

Anyways i got another job offer from another company offering me 10k more as a network engineer and it would be doing work for a different department but still cleared work . Idk if i should just leave the company i just got hired at (only been here for 3 weeks) and hopefully the new place is a true networking role or stay here for a year even though its prolly going to set me back and wont be learning much. hardly any work and theres crap load of change management.

    You gotta look out for #1, which is yourself. I say take the new position and don't bother putting this 3 week job on your resume.

    Don't even waste your time staying at the current gig. I wasted my time working for places were I didn't learn anything and there was barely any work. I regretted every minute of it. Soul sucking honestly.

    Leave. Wouldn't even think twice about it.
