Cisco Certification is launched by Cisco, a famous manufacturer in the network field. It is an international authoritative certification in the Internet field. Cisco Certification includes CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP, CCSP, CCIP, CCVP, CCIE (also for routing and switching, voice, storage network, security, telecom operators) and other Certification of different levels, contents and directions.
I met someone who asked me a very good question. He said that he was going to take a Cisco Certification Exam. He wanted to know if his boss would give him a salary increase because of his current situation.
Of course, the situation of his company is like this. The company is a small foreign company with 200 or 300 employees, so the equipment that the company usually maintains is also a Cisco product. So he is going to take Cisco Certification Exam. Similarly, if he is studying, he can also learn Huawei Certification, which does not affect, because Huawei’s technologies and Cisco’s technologies are the same.
1. The salary of a technician is related to the scarcity of your position
I think my answer should be relatively standard, that is, many people are asking me such a question that what kind of certificate can get much money.
In fact, I can’t give you a unified answer, because each company has different situations, so there is no standard answer. But generally, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that the boss will completely pay according to the technology you have. That idea is too simple. Maybe you may encounter such a situation when you first entered the industry at the age of 20, However, as you work slowly and continuously in your position, you will find that your salary is determined by the scarcity of your position.
To put it bluntly, if your boss can find someone to replace you, in fact, any certificate you have is worthless.
Second, the standard of network engineers is still to research and improve technology
The above words do not conflict with what I want to say now.
If we, as a network engineer are engaged in technology, you can’t do sales and management at the beginning. Because that is not in line with the development of the network engineering room. So first, you should play a good role in technology, which means that you can at least make customers very happy, You have the ability in this field, so if you take the Cisco Certification or Huawei Certification, it is a recognition of your professional ability.
After you get the certificate and work for a period of time, if you are 27, 28 and 30 years old, you should make a timely transformation, that is, you can understand in addition to the technology, for example, understand the operation, understand the engineering management, wait for the sales, wait for the pre-sale director, wait for the after-sales service. That means you are not just a technical support engineer, which will be more beneficial to you.
