Do more of soft ware than hard wears. Ccnn has to do with router and switches. Networking. Ask urself how many companies go ask for my services. Even de old ones are managing to survive

Someone said you should know first of all where your interest lies which I think is the best advice so far. So, what is your IT background like in terms of KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE?

No IT certification is entirely easy, because things get increasingly complex as you go deeper and it's your interest that will sustain your training as you go along, not just the desire to acquire a cert nor your intention to get a job/make money with it. So the first thing is to IDENTIFY WHERE YOUR INTEREST REALLY LIES.

So I should ask, why are you considering Cisco? My take on Cisco certs is apart from equipping you with skills to work on Cisco devices (which can be a advantage or disadvantage depending on where you find work), they also provide you with general knowledge applicable in network/internetwork/security infrastructure environments.

You did not mention which of the CompTIA certs you're considering, though CompTIA certs are not vendor specific but take a broader view of the field in question relative to proprietary certs like Cisco, Microsoft etc.

Overall there are significant overlaps in the knowledge and skills being tested by CompTIA and Cisco certs. Thus there is no one size fits all approach or solution, but YOUR INTEREST (based on your KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE) should help you to determine the study/career path that suits you.

Good luck!

With a background in computer engineering, ideally you shouldn't need the A+ cert as it covers fundamental topics you should know already. You may have flunked the CCNA twice but the knowledge gained from studying it should be useful for taking the Network+ or Security+ exams.

You've clearly declared a love for networking which defines where your interest is. However the networking field is quite wide with AD, Server, Unix/Linux, Cisco, Cloud, Security and other areas, and it's easy to get tempted to want to know/do everything and thereby not have a focus.

But determine your own focus and face it, and thereafter expand your skillset into other areas with time.

My advise is to take time to checkout the Internet resources out there (there are too many so take your time to filter out the useful ones) to help you define your IT career path. If you're able to do so then it'll become easy for you to determine what certifications you need and where to start from.

Hey bro, please i am also actively seeking guidance on cloud computing - intend to switch my career path from engineering to Cloud.
Please how can we get in touch - would be really helpful to collaborate.

Has anyone made money through USD tether? If not, welcome to hyperfund. Check my signature. There's training everyday on zoom. Hook up and join

yes we can chat. I'm Azure certified

Both centers are very expensive for training, I suggest you learn from Udemy, Youtube, and updated materials you see online.
