Update: I put in maybe 10 applications, no responses. Interestingly, I haven't seen a single posting for a "junior" network engineer or admin.
Applied for a network engineer position, wish me luck :)

Working on setting up a practice lab for the NOC. Got a Zabbix server stood up and polling a Cisco router via SNMP, and my manager has some old Juniper and Extreme gear coming my way. Fun stuff :D
