I hate this line of thinking. Do you work in the field/industry?

I started the ServiceNow externship on Monday. I've been speaking being a Systems Admin into existence and this will be my opportunity. I wasn't interested in the Dev route prior but it's enticing now. Some of the folks I speak with say they have great work/life balance, make good $$, and the work isn't difficult due to SN being low-code.

I have no strings on me.
Going to put Linux+ on hold.
Kubernetes is hot right now( Well has been for a minute ). So going to start studying for the CKA ( Certified Kubernetes Administrator ) and probably pick up the Go programming language also.

Just placed top 3 in my first hackathon
Also the event had a cybersecurity challenge dealing with Windows and Linux systems, my team got top 2 here. Dope experience overall, and learned a lot. Hackathons are definitely going to be on my radar as a priority now.

Congrats!
I did a CTF with HackTheBox and that humbled tf out of me at the time. Really made me change my way of solving problems.

My highest score, 90%, was in automation/programmability

Did you use any Cisco equipment to study for labs? I'm currently studying for the CCNA right now.

Good luck bro
But naw i just used packet tracer labs from jeremys it lab channel, as well as his flash cards. Also used OCG books
Tbh all you gotta get is really good at 2 or 3 categories, and decent in the other ones atleast and you will pass. Be able to subnet in your head in less then 10 seconds and know how to read routing tables. Wireless and IPV6 were big too.. afew spanning tree questions. Alot of security as well

Download Cisco packet tracer. If you want your CCNP; download CML or set up EVE-NG.

I'm currently in week 4 of the course and it isn't too difficult so far. I have a habit of missing small details so I have to review some of the modules again. The first instructor was new to teaching so I'll give her props, but she never could answer questions folks had and seemed lost. She got replaced at the end of the second week by a vet and I'm grateful because this new instructor is 1000x better
They gave us free access to the Now Learning platform, plus vouchers for the CSA and CAD after completion, and I honestly could've knocked this out by now if I weren't a habitual procrastinator
I'll finish it by next week and schedule to take the CSA sometime next month, then I'll start the Application Developer course.
