It sounds to me like you got an awesome job where you're diving right into the stuff that will give you the experience you need to go on to getting your CCNP, and perhaps, even the CCIE in the future. Regardless if you have to work on the weekends or not, it is a good opportunity to gain some experience which is essential in today's marketplace. I wouldn't mind working after hours or weekends if it gives me the essential experience I need to make my career better in the future. Hard work pays off!

Had my 3 month review also with a company director and my line manager. They seem really happy with me and officially im off the "trial" period already.

Congratulations!

Just remember not to get too fat & lazy & comfortable in the job

Are you thinking about some new certification goals to align with what you are doing or where the company business could be heading?

Well I wanted to start studying for my CCNP this year, but that won't be useful for the company as we only deal with SMB customers, no huge infrastructure, so I might stick at doing some MCP's along the way.

We'll keep the light on over in the Cisco forums for you.... just in case

But yeah, do what you need to do to get ahead where you're at -- it sounds like fun! Maybe grab the 2 Doyle Volumes and try to go through a chapter a week to keep up your Cisco skills (just in case). And consider one of the overview Cisco Security exams.... still Cisco-centric, but Security is always helpful (and it will re-certify your CCNA down the road).

Hum.... and maybe your company could decide to become a Cisco Partner....
