After crawling through some 2000 pages of the CCNA official cert guide, I can see some of that now. I don't know any real-life mentors. I'd like to ask what a network engineer does day-to-day, but that question got closed - next comment- Are there any sites where that question wouldn't be off-topic?
@lain so I suppose if I rephrased this question as a "problem I face", e.g. I want to know if I am prepared to handle the tougher NOC problems, it's still too open-ended.
@RobM thanks for these suggestions. What is my purpose here?I am researching on how to go from programmer to infosec or network engineer. One motivation that underlies this is the need to not work all hrs. behind a desk. I also want to know if I can handle a NOC role and what difficulties to expect.
