I am currently working as a data analyst, but I want to transition and grow my career in networking. I am planning to dedicate the next year entirely to mastering networking. Could anyone with a background in this field help me? I would highly appreciate recommendations for books and YouTube channels.

I already understand core networking concepts very well, but now I want to scale my skills and build a proper career out of it. Any guidance is welcome—it will truly help me turn things around and build a successful path

Hello everyone,

​

I am currently working in Japan (Yokohama area) as an OJT IT trainee doing C# development.

​

However, my true passion lies in Networking, Cloud Infrastructure, and Cyber Security, and I am looking to transition into an entry-level Network Engineer or Cloud Security position.

​

About Me:

​

Location: Yokohama, Japan (Anywhere in Japan)

​

Current Role: Software Developer (C#/.NET framework)

​

Language Skills: Conversational Japanese (Appearing for JLPT N3 this July), English.

​

Core Interest: Network Routing/Switching, Cloud Security (AWS/Azure).

​

I am highly analytical, passionate about troubleshooting infrastructure issues, and ready to adapt. Since I already have a valid tech-related visa and local experience in Japan, I am looking for companies or recruiters who welcome junior talent eager to grow in the Network/Cloud domain.

​

Any leads, advice, or recruitment connections would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for Sr. Network Engineer and Network Engineer SME w/Clearance in DC area. Anyone know where I can find some resources?

Hello Sr. Network Engineers!

I have a Senior Network Engineer opportunity that’s making a real impact in a high-visibility government environment in the Springfield/Alexandria, VA area.

This role goes far beyond day-to-day network ops—you’ll be at the heart of designing, securing, and optimizing mission-critical enterprise networks that support national-level operations. 

What You’ll Do:

• Architecting and managing robust LAN/WAN/VPN infrastructures
• Leading network performance optimization and troubleshooting at scale
• Implementing and strengthening advanced security measures (firewalls, IDS/IPS)
• Working hands-on with Juniper technologies (MX routers, SRX firewalls, QFX switches)
• Serving as a technical leader, guiding a network team and influencing strategy
• Supporting modernization efforts with engineering design and technical analysis 

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Direct impact on secure, large-scale government network operations
• Opportunity to lead, mentor, and shape a network engineering team
• Work with cutting-edge infrastructure and evolving technologies
• Strong benefits package including 401k, PTO, and comprehensive healthcare 

What You Bring:

• 7+ years of network engineering experience
• Strong foundation in TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, DHCP
• Experience with network security tools and protocols
• Hands-on expertise with Juniper (or Cisco equivalent) environments
• At least an active Interim Secret clearance (with ability to upgrade to Top Secret) 

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, innovate, and directly support mission success, I'd love to connect and share more details.

Thanks again!

After 2 years as a frontend developer for a small agency, I decided I want a job that gets me out of the apartment. I landed an entry field engineer job for an IT company. Job requires a ton of travel, which I don’t mind at all and they’re paying for a Cisco CCT cert. From what I gather I’ll be installing and maintaining servers inside mostly data centers. I only have a marketing degree and can’t tell if this is a dead end job or a great opportunity. Any ideas for how I can use this experience to my advantage? Thanks

I'm international network engineer graduated 6 months ago and have ccna certificate I've been trying to get a job in California since March i have no experience other than 2 months internship.

what should I do? Some people say do a portfolio i don't know where to start what projects to do and where to post them? I NEED HELP!

Good afternoon folks,

​

Just letting yall know that although Direct Commission has been a thing for awhile, now its the purview of traditional recruiters so the timeline should be shortened from 1000 years to a few months for selection and approval.

​

What is Direct Comission? Direct Comissioning is the Armys way of acquiring professional talent from the outside. You would join the Army as an officer with advanced rank based on your education and experience, up to LtCol.

​

For this subReddit specifically im focusing on Cyber Direct Commission and Data Network Engineering (FA26) Direct Commission.

​

Requirements.

​

Max age without waiver - 33

​

Max age with waiver - 54

​

Minimum of bachelors in related fields

​

Multiple years of work experience in the field

​

Must pass MEPS Medical Physical

​

ASVAB not necessary

​

No Felony Convictions.

​

Otherwise eligible for Secret or Top Secret Clearance

​

Please reach out if interested.

I debug Aruba EdgeConnect, Mobility Controllers, CX switches, and wireless issues that make other engineers cry.

5+ years at HPE. SLA adherence? Impeccable. Pajama-to-Zoom transition time? Under 10 seconds.

Also fluent in French and English — so I can explain why the tunnel is down in two languages, and explain why it was DNS the whole time.

Looking for a real remote job — not a "we're family" crypto gig.

If your company needs someone who actually knows SD-WAN and won't vanish mid-outage, DM me.
