I have been working as a network engineer/architect for over 30-years. More and more I am encountering network engineers that are lacking the three critical things that prevent them from becoming a top-level engineer. Three things that enabled me and others to grow to the top of the industry.

- Deep Technology Knowledge

- Best Design Practices

- Reasons to Implement the Technology

In this episode, I discuss the three things and how they are important to level up as an engineer. I share how the industry has changed and what is required today to develop these three things. In the coming episodes, we will discuss elements of these three things.
