Hello All,

I've Joined the forum some time ago, but did not really do much with it. After some meditation period during the holidays I've decided to be an actor in my own destiny.

Just to tell you a bit about me:

I'm a network Engineer +8 Years experience in the Cisco networking world (CCNP, CCIE Written certifications). Although it is good, I feel is still not enough and that I need something else....

I've always been passionate about business and the freedom that it gives if you pay the price of hard and commited work.

I will start learning and soon will create my own journey thread.

See you later people.

Hey there, welcome to the Forum. So, I was interested in taking the CCNP while beeing in university but in the end i changed my mind.
I'd like to know if getting those certifications helped you money wise on your job.

In this industry You'll need the knowledge but also the power to negotiate. The CCNP Indeed made a very big increase for me in money, but that was because of negotiation tactics rather than the certification itself.

These kinds of certifications sets you appart from similar candidates with similar experience without the certifications. But the most important is that with the knowledge the bring you, it actually makes you feel more confident thus you negotiate better.

I'm based in Central Europe btw.

But good to know it worked for you.
