    Congrats! How much experience do you have and what is the direction you are looking to go into? I'm asking because the design stuff is usually saved for when you have some experience under your belt.
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    I was actually for some advise on this, dont have much experience, do you suggest i go the Junos way, was interested in juniper to have info on both certs to diversify my options on my resume.

    Hoping to get a job soon to get the experience under my belt, then go towards my ccda then ccnp

    If you have an interest towards Juniper, you can only benefit from getting some knowledge on it + the cert. There are a lot of juniper devices out there so you can become more appealing to employers. Also, it shows you are not stuck in a one vendor environment. Although once you understand how things work and have a strong grasp on the concepts, you won't have much trouble picking up any vendor. Cisco are very effective at teaching those concepts.

    IMO, in your case, it would be better to wait for the design track. It is a great one, very interesting and just plain awesome. However, it is not something that you start with right off the bat. I know where you come from - it is exciting and you want to learn it and start as soon as possible. Network design is something you really start getting into once you know how the network works and you have at least 1-2 years of experience administrating and troubleshooting it. It is required that you understand the different flows of traffic, protocols, issues that can arise with them etc. I would advise you to go for CCDA and CCDP after your CCNP:R&S and not any time sooner. This is how you will get the most of it and really advance. No need to rush. What's more, you will find the CCDA a lot easier after doing CCNP.

    I think your top priority right now should be to get your foot through the door and start gaining experience.
