I'm a Network (DWDM, SDH, Ethernet) Test Engineer. Fault finding and fixing mainly. We remotely test all new services my company has provided and those that don't work first time, is where my role fits in. Our Field staff attend each end of the link, to install NTE's and Routers. It's my job to find why the link won't pass traffic, and sort it out.

 

Nice and varied, and quite high pressure, so it keeps thing interesting. Plus working in the city means plenty of boozers for after work. :nuts:

 

Sounds like an interesting role

 

Are you a CCIE/JNCIE or is it a case that you've now got so much experience that you don't need the certificates?

 

Have just purchased a cisco lab to get started on the CCIE...... your job sounds like the kind of thing I'd like to be doing :)

My role is predominantly layer 1&2 Transmission, although we have recently taken on the role of integrating layer3 NTE's onto the transmission backhaul network, so will in the near future be moving into the realms of IP. My complany have agreed to put me through CCNA and Juniper training (pretty good when you weigh up the costs of that sort of training), so will be looking to move into IP configuration fully in the next 12 months.

 

What is it you do then? And for whom?

Now that sounds like a great job. Are you allowed to say anymore about it?

I work in the Executive Office and External Liaison for a Car Manufacturer based in Warwickshire (can you guess lol?)

 

Basically means that I deal with all the customers that demand to speak to the CEO or MD's, and I also deal with allegations of personal inujury, thermal incidents etc etc. It's customers service esentially, just the last chance saloon.

 

I really enjoy it, although some of the customers are PITA!

I work as a video conferencing support technician for a motor manufacturer. Have some networking background, having already done a CCNA/CCNP.....just bought a lab off ebay to get started on the CCIE.

 

Need some networking knowledge to troubleshoot videoconferencing issues... duplex mismatches, QoS verfication on switches, telnetting to video sytems via IP to make config changes, etc.... nothing too complex..... but hopefully if I can get myself a CCIE I can move more towards LAN/WAN support and eventually design/planning

Lmao I feel uber unqualified to post here after reading some of the posts :lol:

 

Worked as an apprentice auto electrician with my local bus company which was travel dundee at the time, got special permission to start the job when I was 15 on an extended work experience leave, then was full time from when I was 16, although unfortunately due to college being stuck in a mechanics class the actual things I was being taught had nothing to do with electrics, every other person in the class was training to be a mechanic so after disputes and requests to be sent to a special training school which was specifically for auto electrician training on buses it was always "we'll see what we can do" but nothing ever happened so I left as I new I was never going to learn what I needed too.

 

So now I'm a full time dj/producer/remixer and I run my own label as well now also with a very good dutch friend who's experience in the industry is just unbelievable. I sometimes wish I had stuck it out and just stayed with it because I genuinely loved the job, it was truly rewarding and even as a young lad knowing your part of the team and doing your bit too keep a service running was a great feeling and I genuinely miss it, but you can't dwell on the past and what I'm doing now I love just as much, only downside is its a tough tough industry to get up the ladder in.

No, I'm serious! I work in the QA Laboratory at Brain's Brewery.

Recently graduated from the University of Leeds with a BSc (Hons) in Aviation Technology with Pilot Studies.

 

During my time there, for extra cash I worked on the bar at a city centre hotel, whilst also doing night shifts as one of the night porters.

 

I also was a self-employed "automotive detailer" (basically I had a machine polisher and knew how to use it), as well as doing various jobs for cash, mainly to do with cars, such as servicing them on my driveway, fitting mods/parts, etc

 

 

NOW, I'm job hunting. I have applied for a couple of jobs, been interviewed for some already, got interviews lined up for others.

 

Still doing the bits on the side for my pocket money, and my parents employed me to do some decorating and other stuff in the house and in the garden... don't get much money from it, but it pays my way whilst I'm living with them

Oh well I'm the odd one out, I'm just a warehouse supervisor for an electrical wholeseller.

Nothing exciting and not very well paid, hence my valver in standard condition....... other than a set o' 17's.

Surely you could get a LAN/WAN support job with the CCNP? The route to CCIE is long, expensive and the well paid jobs few and far between. I'm a network engineer myself working on a good size network (600 odd sites, 30,000+ users) and have never felt the need to progress beyond CCNP, unless your employer is footing the bill it doesn't seem worth it anymore.
