kind of person are you and what did you do in that years of job exposure. If yo
u just sit down maintaining your systems for 10 years, and the other guy with 3
years experience is working his butt off, solving problem, troubleshooting and
improving the system, I would favor the 3 years one. Personal experience I kno
w ppl with experience more than mine that doesn't even know how to configure IS
DN correctly or how EIGRP works.(yeah EIGRP, don't even bother to ask about the
rest..and yes..they are network engineers).
>Point is experience is not a measurement of how good they are, it's just a mea
sure of how long they've been in the field, which doesn't necessarily means the
y are better. Of course there are also lots of other guys who've been in the fi
eld longer than I, with knowledge that kept me thinking, how the hell he can co
pe up with all those kowledge in his head. This is a personal opinion, just wan
ting to share with some of you. There is no point to debate it, ppl has differe
nt opinion and I respect that.
I absolutely agree with you. One thing I say to people is that "just because y
ou've been doing it for 10 years doesn't mean you've been doing it right!"
The experience I'm talking about is someon who has in depth knowledge PCs, Serv
ers, Routers, Switches, etc.etc.etc. The guy with all the info in his head - a
s you put it.
Of course just as important is his/her willingness to share that information.
