  1. The audio is so bad I can't listen. Next time, do an interview with lav mics and in a room with carpeting. Also consider applying normalization to your audio levels…

  2. hey hi,m from INDIA and i need a help , m Bachelor Engineer from industrial Electronics branch. i want do CCNA certification, so will you please guide me ,is there is job opportunity for network eng. in india ? what type of growth i can expect by it in india n in future? waiting for your support

  3. Well….I was kind of interested in this video, but there is so much reverb in this room coming through the microphone, it takes too much work to understand. Just can't do it. If you want to make these videos, you HAVE to have at least decent audio. You loose all credibility when shit sounds this bad.

  4. these guys aren't network engineers, they seem like contractors for an MSP (jack of all trades). From hearing them talk, they deal with systems and applications way too much. I didn't hear anything about OSPF, BGP ,VPNs, MPLS, etc.

  5. pretty accurate answers… I am a network and security engineer for a medical company (going on 8 years) and I can confirm… most of what they said is absolutely correct.

  6. LOL! Where the hell do you work? My co-workers are idiots and all they want is to impress their ugly wives or fulfill their fantasy as some kind of triad boss or something. They couldn't find the problem if it was under their nose. They work cheap too… they will sell you out for a dinner or two. Or at least that's what it looks like on the surface. Who the hell knows what goes on behind those closed "CASTRO" doors.

  7. They basically described an IT Technician w/ network admin duties. Every place I have worked can be described as what they say, with exception to the ISP I worked at. If I were the channel, I would interview CCIEs or at least network admins from ISPs. That would filter out the help desk/server admin duties guys like this bring to the table. No offense to them.

  8. So much for social skills. This guy was asking softball basic questions and the man could not help but to use IT lingo. Back-end, Build out, network-solution ext. I'm a network engineer and People like this are so common. Its easy to explain but they have adopted the lingo when talking to uneducated people because they like to feel smart.

    "What does network mean, explain it so a HS student can grasp it"

    "well a network is a general term for a group of computers that you have talking to each other in any way. I maintain the lines or radio signal and keep them secure."

    Not hard man. "well be build out the back-end and secure assets for the end users so there data blah blah blah does my dick seem bigger yet?"
