Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?

Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?
I hate working with our VoIP architects. They seem to know little to nothing about VoIP (or networking in general for that matter). One actually asked me what our network marks voice traffic as...... I was like "EF?" thinking it was a trick question. Unfortunately it wasn't and he needed the information to give a customer.… -
Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?

Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?
Sounds about right IMO. I used to work more in what you describe as the administrators role but my tittle was Analyst so I wouldn't really get caught up in the titles.

Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?

Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?
A lot of the sites I work with do not have any IT staff on site. You have to wait until they can get their one IT guy there from a corporate office and then he usually doesn't know much anyway. It gets frustrating, but what can you do? Most companies do not have the need for on site IT support when most things can be done… -
Re: Network Engineer or Network Administrator role?
I think the role of engineer is much better. You have just said that working as an engineer, you will see much more networks, this means more exposure, you will learn faster, and you will definitely get more experience in shorter time. But there's a catch here, it depends on where you work. If your company has a lot of…
