Or just do CCIE DC -

5502george Member Posts: 264Accepted an offer of Senior Consultant position today. Seems like a great company with lots of advancement opportunity. Salary wise, I'll be closer to $200k than $100k. Not bad for someone 2 weeks shy of 3 year in IT. Too bad wife's working late tonite.
Can you give a little more detailed info on your career path in IT, specifically your certs. -

My career path probably won't be too helpful since I switched careers into IT. I thought I had a thread about how I switched to IT, but can't seem to find it. As for the certs, all my certs are listed below my avatar.
Found it. See post #6: http://www.techexams.net/forums/off-topic/82554-happy-anniversary.html2018 Certification Goals: Maybe VMware Sales Cert

dave330i Member Posts: 2,091 ■■■■■■■■■■First full week at the new job. Filling out lots of paperwork, trouble tickets and new hire training. So far not even close to being done. Good thing I'm planning on staying for a while. Hate to do all this for 2-3 year stint.
Maxed out my 401k at my last job, so can't take advantage of the better 401k matching at the new job.2018 Certification Goals: Maybe VMware Sales Cert

QHalo Member Posts: 1,488Do they make you wait a year before they hit you with it? This place does. Freakin blows.
