How Valuable the experience as network admin

kurosaki00

Hi!

How you guys doing?
Didnt found a proper place for this so decided to make my own thread.


I've seen in the network field the jobs arent usually permanent position. In this post when I say network field, I dont mean system admin as a guy who opens accounts in college and troubleshoot why computer A in room 302 cant connect to the internet. I mean like telecomunications between sites, vpn's, the routes, vlans, Point to Point connections, optimization of bandwith etc etc
Usually are more like months projects, maybe a year or two. But usually never a permanent position.

I just got offered a 6 months position with a multinational company, hundred thousands of user.
We deal with what is stated above + SMPP and SMTP and others. Means servers to servers, we dont really deal with customers directly but with what interconnects everything.

How valuable would 6 moths of this be?


Note* Dont take this as, you just got a job and you're getting ahead of yourself.
I'm excited and really happy! Is a great place and great crew so far for what I've met.
But here in PR these kind of positions are very rare, so I dont know much about how this kind of position adds to your experience.
I've always wanted to move to US but without experience Ive always thought it would be hard. So this makes me wonder even more how much this would add to my resume.

PS. add much or not, im taking it
lol from tech support to this = hella good! (specially since my favorite I.T. area is networking)

Thank you and sorry for long wall of text.
