I ask this as a genuine question rather than to flame the so-called “entry level” jobs, but I really am truly curious. For those that didn’t get the Network+ or CCNA or know very little about networks and work in a technical job involving SIEMs, threat hunting, networks, etc.

I’m on my 4th year as a security consultant for Splunk at a big4 and I’ll be truthful that I don’t really know networking that well. I’m surprised I’ve been able to bullshit my way this far, but I know up the ladder at a manager+ level it will get me in the end. I eventually want to pivot into Threat Intelligence, but I do realize that it’s such a niche job that there aren’t many job postings for. But I was planning to get my Network+ but had alot of people tell me it’s too “entry level” for my stage in my career, which I found to be interesting.
