Do you think it's at FAANG? Like Amazon and Google? Or is it at a Telecom company? What are the pros and cons of a network engineer at these companies?

Donāt work for AT&T as a network engineer unless you want to work with outdated technology that takes years to get updated due to contracts that were signed decades back
+1. Iāve been here for 4 months after they spit hella good game during the interview process about their current initiatives. Already interviewing elsewhere...
Purely from a technical view point. It would be better working in FAANG. The way problem solving in network engineering is approached in FAANG is way better than Telecom companies. Non FAANG is mostly about solving the current issue and not thinking long term, very little emphasis on developing generic scripts. So better off in FAANG
How about Comcast ?
Avoid telecom ... technology change is slow due to heavy investments
The best place, for me, is any place that values IT. Smaller companies hardly ever do. Hospitals, while they'd like to, almost never budget well for IT (and in a sense could be doubled edged if you like challenges, break and fix and "working with what you got") but overall a company like a large law firm, a company centered around tech, etc. I also wouldn't work for a smaller MSP because owners of privately owned MSPs tend to be greedy pricks who don't care what happens as long as their wife can afford fake tits and a Cadillac. I hope this helps what places AREN'T the best lol.
Agree. Avoid Hospitals, financial firms, etc. Basically any non-tech or non-telecom company as they almost never want to spend on anything that is not their core business

I havenāt done shit today!
FAANG or some kind of unicorn/similar for sure. The reason is simple - pay.
No. Fuck the pay. You get hard SKILLS!! Cisco will have you sitting on your ass. Collecting a pay check until layoff season. FAANG is just better than Cisco but not the best.
