Is getting your CCNP still a good career move? If not what route do you suggest? I love networking and would like to pursue those skills I currently just got my CCNA

CCNP is still considered a good cert but it depends which flow you are going through, for eg if you do DevOps wonderful if you do security mehhh. Look for the trend and take your decisions. As of now the most invaluable in the market is CCIE except for CCIE security. Unless you think you will be working in Cisco shop (which is mostly unlikely as there are far better vendors than Cisco these days) will not suggest any other CCNP except CCNP DevOps. Again this is my personal opinion based on 12years of Industry experience as a Senior Network Engineer.

I am interested in hearing what your thoughts are now because I am about to obtain my CCNA.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

What is the typical team size a Deloitte Manager leads? I have about a year of experience leading a small team (3-5 people) and am at the Associate level at Booz Allen.

Would I be better suited for Deloitte SC or Manager level? I have 8 YOE total and 3 YOE in consulting. I have plenty of experience managing workstreams, just not a lot of people management. Not afraid of a challenge but also don't want to set myself up for failure if I'd be expected to jump in and manage 50+ person teams...

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
