Try Arista.
Could we avoid breaking Arista. They appears to be half decent at the moment.
Juniper is a place Cisco managers go to get a raise/promotion, then leave and go back to Cisco a few years later at an even higher position. Saw that so many times, and it was baffling. Most of those folks doing it were worthless, grandstanding id--ts.
@here
I applied to Arista, their base pay offer is much lesser than Juniper. And they don't have titles. Not sure about Arista?
@1mmr+1irQupiD you clearly never worked for Cisco. GE= Recently departed Sales EVP. Duh! Ex-JNPR and now ex-Cisco
Mate, if you are a box jockey, go Arista.
"GE came from JNPR so what does that tell you?"
GE as in General Electric?? What r u smoking dude. GE is 130 years old company.
JNPR is just some dotcom baby fathered by Cisco using the cloning method.
GE came from JNPR so what does that tell you?
JNPR'ers came from Cisco, so you could technically say JNPR = Cisco. I know some folks who left Cisco, went to Juniper then came back to Cisco and finally went back to Juniper. It is like breaking up with your gf 3 times then making up. Not gonna work.
Try to Arista or PAN (some Aristans came from Cisco btw). Don't go to AWS, you will be fcuked in your ears and nostrils, very dangerous place. I left Cisco and went to AWS for 2 years, man it felt like 10 years over there. I came back to Cisco. Easy pay for lil work especially for a middle aged white dude like me who's about to retire in 4 years.
So to sum up, if you're a younglin, avoid Cisco/Juniper/AWS if you can. Go there only if you can't find another place.
Try Arista.
Worked at both, but JNPR has far better quality staff with higher skills and experiences, especially true of TAC. It's almost like diff btw an adult and a child.
Further, JNPR is more "normal" unlike school-like Cisco that has many Customer Delivery Leads and Managers who've been ONLY at Cisco for over 20 years and just bossing around without even having any experience outside Cisco, acting like know it all but actually know nothing who have no value outside the company and only respected at Cisco just because their long tenure at Cisco.
JNPR is not like that. They're far more professional, coming from various backgrounds and companies who can use their value and experiences gained outside the company.
Same sh!t, different stink. Worked at both out of U.K. and resigned at both for exactly the same reason: toxic management
Like asking to choose between Covid or Monkeypox...
