Why is the Network+ more advanced than the CCENT?

Because CompTIA created that chart.

So I got a conditional offer letter on Tuesday for a lead Applications Analyst role...this position had an 8 week hiring process...it was unbelievable lol. They are in the process of doing my background checks. If that pans out and I don't receive any other offers, then im signing that final offer letter by late next week. I'm going to miss having unlimited PTO but having a significant boost in salary is worth it. Have to also go back to that business casual life

background checks cleared...got my final offer letter and signed it electronically..we good

Just don't get too comfortable. In about a year, you will be ready to bounce from that position too. You're in one of the few industries where you can control your income by adding certs and experience.
