Getting Fired as a Network Analyst 

Congrats on the baby, brother. We just had our first kiddo about 4 months ago and it's just the best. Wishing you the best on your job search!

Great video. Not many people talk about this, same ol-same, same ol'. Thanks for keeping it real.

listen, just by watching your videos, I can tell you are a great communicator. Anyone who can instruct challenging technological subject, clearly has no issue with communicating. What ever the company was, lost a good employer. You will find your way and your journey. Thanks for your honesty.

I have 20-years in the IT field and you really nailed explaining higher Ed versus certs!

I've had the same experience a couple of years ago. At the time I was really bumped out but in the end I've landed a job which was much better and with a higher pay. Like you said, everything will work out eventually. Good attitude ! Thanks for sharing.

You have a great attitude the way you are seeing this as a learning experience rather than being angry at the employer. I suffer from depression and I'm currently working on shifting my attitude to be more positive and less angry and self pitying. It's really challenging sometimes but it really makes a difference in how I feel and also I think how people perceive me, which then tends to positively affect interactions and life outcomes.

I got fired from tech job in nyc - dime a dozen VInce - thank you for being on here and sharing your story. You are not alone - also good job on the sec+ vids :)

Damn firing after ciming back from paternity leave is crazy. Congrats bro! Onwards and upwards!

Great job explaining

Good attitude bro!

Congrats on the new family member, brother! I know you will land on your feet soon with a new job. Keep doing what you're doing!

Dang! I just watched one of your videos on one of the Jason Dion test you took. Sending you lots of luck on your job search. You are super inspiring ❤❤❤

Keep it up bro. Keep your head up. Things happen for a reason.

I was in your same situation. I got hired to work for a bank rand it was a very small branch office. 4 employees total including myself. Got let go 5 months later for not learning enough but the fact of the matter is no one really wanted to teach me as 2 of the employees there were set to retire in a few years. It can be hard but your gonna find something better. For me, it encouraged me to go back to school 🎉

Congrats on the baby, on the plus side you get some more time to spend with your family while you look for a fresh start. Everything happens for a reason and I'm sure you'll be better off in the end. You're a great person, I love your videos, and I'm glad you are going to continue the channel! You've got potential =)

Thank you for being so humble and honest in sharing your experience. This is welcome change from the usual click bait videos that promise you can make over $100.000 per year in Cybersecurity with just six months experience.

Thanks Vincent, would love to hear more about what you did on a day to day basis at that job. Love the content.

Keep that swagger, I like your videos. Congrats on becoming a parent.

Congratulations on 1K!

Best advice is be direct in a respectful way .

I respect your story. I retired from law enforcement and now I work at a Helpdesk. I have learned so much at the Helpdesk and hope on day to getting into Cloud or Networking. Your story has motivated me to be better. Thanks for sharing. BTW, it is that company's loss.

Great insight on handling adversity. I wanted to know the name of a few of the placement agencies you mentioned as well.

this is exactly how I felt with my last job. I've had a lot of interpersonal problems and communications with the supervisors was pretty bad aside from one person. I also felt like it was a tad to fast paced and my background did not match with the job I was performing but was willing to learn anything. I got fired 7 months in for other reasons but my plan was to begin job hunting at the one year mark anyway if things didn't get better. Ultimately I'm glad for the experience I gained and it lead to me studying for my Sec +.

Great video

Congratulations on the baby! I appreciate your candor on this termination. Your next employer will be fortunate to have you.

Dude, aside from my interest in IT this was just entertaining. Keep making content man

Thank you for the video. What was your first salary as a network analyst, having net+cert?

Being truthful in the interview is the number one thing to do. The truth is when any one from a company says there OJT or training there is not. It a great lie. It sucky they let you go but if you felt it was not a match your better off. I hope you find another job soon.

Your biggest fan here 😮

thanks 4 sharin !

I need to get out of support, I think my lack of communication skills are killing me now and its not going to improve fast enough. Hopefully by the time I'm fired I can find a better fit than MSP.

Nobody is hiring me for entry level positions and i have my bachelors in IT and currently getting my certs but its soooo hard to get hired ugh

Congratulations on the baby.

Thanks for this video. I got fired from my job a week ago in the public sector job in public works. I was never reprimanded or written up. I was on probation but my wife and I are expecting and I put in my PTO for around when she’s due and a couple days later manager meets me after lunch to tell me “it didn’t work out, clear your locker and your keys please”. I on the other hand don’t have a second job but we collect unemployment and then PFL benefits shortly. I’m taking an IT support program that gives you a CompATIA A+ voucher at the end (self paced) and the Google Cybersecurity Profession Certification at the same time. You think that’s enough for just starting out? I’m humble enough and willing to work ANY IT job that I’m competent enough to do.

This might be a stupid question, but if I just got my security + and apply for a job do I get training at that job or do they expect me to know what to do?

Bro, you aren't the first person who got canned and you won't be the last. Just keep honing the skills, applying, and things will work out!

, some times it’s not about our skill but with whom we work, even if you are good they will still search for silly mistake just to let you go, especially if they are a group of curry curry 🍛!!

3:14 what certs were those?

I got fired from AWS. Wasnt my fault. I had a engineer tell me to move fibers(a lot) from one server to another. He pointed at the server location instead of giving me the rack# and RU and I even doubled checked it was "correct". He said it was. I removed all the cabling to find I caused a major outage on several services. I explained to my boss it wasnt my fault and I should of had paper documents with locations but because I was new he let me go.

This just happened to me 😢 omg how crazy

It honestly sounds like you got hired because you were a less financial hit than someone who checked all of their skills boxes. This happened to my husband years ago with an IT job. He too was let go.

Would you share some recruiting agencies?

I hear North Carolina has some great tech jobs.

That's why we OE

Sounds like it was more of a management issue than you.
