If you are anything like me, then you must have developed some love for the digital age and the networking life, where everyone gets connected in an instant. The World Wide Web has changed the way the world operates and the best part is that it is available to us at the click of a button. It is true that with the advent of technology, the need for producing, uploading, streaming and downloading data has become the it thing. What is it that you do then? Enjoy it face front? Well, a large part of the population uses this technology and network, but very few of us actually know how it works. But there are also a few who love to stay in the background and study it along with using it.
The best part is that these users not only study how it works, but also build it for you. They build intrinsic products that you can only dream of. While you are focused entirely on using products such as YouTube, Google etc, these software and network engineers are focused on making your experience better.
Do you often find yourself thinking, How does this platform handle this large amount of data? Well, the answer is, these people in the background build the connections and the servers for us to store our data and continuously keep it running.
So prima facie it sounds simple, but it isnt as simple or easy. A lot of effort goes into it. The current IT industry in the US holds a valuable place in the GDP contribution of the nation. Of the $3.8 trillion of US GDP, the IT sector accounts for $1.4 trillion and provides over 105 million jobs in the country. Since 2014, the IT sector contributed to a whopping 14.6% growth in the GDP. It is a given that the US is the leading nation in creating and supplying the most advanced hardware and software all around the world.
If there is one role in the IT sector that is notable, then it is that of the Network Engineer. This role is responsible for installing, supporting and managing the network and computer systems that keep the information going. They play a crucial role in implementing and maintaining network hardware and software solutions and also troubleshooting problems that arise in network installation and maintenance. They also ensure network safety, security and help maintain performance standards in the organization.
While the changing economic times propose to be very challenging, organizations try to retain and hire new network engineers and administrators to optimize the existing systems. They also work towards reducing costs, which can eventually increase productivity with the same resources.
In a healthy economy, companies try to improve or strengthen their competitive advantage by implementing new network technologies that create opportunities for network administrators and network engineers to install, optimize and secure the newly installed systems. Since there is such a high demand for network engineers, which has nothing to do with the economy, there has been a spike in employment opportunities as network engineers. It has even gotten the moniker of a recession-proof career.
If you want to be in the right place at the right time, and want to give your networking skills a try and turn it into your passion, then network engineering is the job for you. The best way to get started is by joining one of the worlds largest network companies to find your path to success.
