How To Become a Network Engineer
2
1- Get a rock-solid
networking foundation
Needless to say, a network engineer must be very
familiar with essential concepts of networking
such as subnetting, IPv4 and IPv6, and how
routers, switches, packets and frames
work. Take some free training from companies
like Cisco and get a certification such as the
Network from CompTIA, which covers almost
everything you need in this step.

If youve ever tried to get a technical job, you
probably know that the number one thing
employers look for in a resume is hands-on
experience.
2. Get relevant hands- on experience
Try to get some experience in a helpdesk role,
and help out small businesses and friends for
free. Or, if your situation allows it, land a 3-
month internship even if it is non-paid.

3. Land a job as a Network Technician/Admin
or in Technical Sales If you know what youre
doing, this step is where you really take your
skillset to the next level. In step two,
basically all you do is help with minor stuff
(except if you set up a home lab and decide to
work on more advanced things). Its needed, but
treat it as a means to an end.

4. Become an FSNE (Full Stack Network Engineer)
In a world where networks have
tons of

• technologies integrated, learning the full stack
  of networking technologies will make you an
  asset to pretty much any company.
• The full stack includes everything including data
  center, virtualization, automation, routing and
  switching, VoIP, cloud, SDN, IoT and
  cybersecurity.

5. Become a Systems or Solutions Engineer at
a manufacturer or VAR (value-added reseller) This
step might seem far away, but if you know what
youre doing and have an experienced mentor, you
could be here in 2-4 years. In this step, your
goal should be to become a pre-sales engineer,
post-sales implementation engineer or technical
account manager. There are thousands of
value-added resellers (VARs), and manufacturers
such as Cisco Systems and Arista Networks.
