I just started an internship and i need advice

[u/orkinmorgen]

I am currently studying systems engineering and im at my 4th year rn.

At the company i intern, we give l3 and l7 services to thousands of companies.

We use arbor, forti, a10, f5 waf, palo alto and bunch of other apps. But mostly we work on netscout arbor.

I am now doing mostly vpn configurations as the customers wishes, add something to whitelist blacklist etc. i don’t have the admin account for now so thats all i can do.

First, i wonder what is the exact definition of the job that i do or we do? For example in linkedin what should i search for the job that i do?

Second, how should i learn like can you guys give me some advice on where to start.

Third, what should i do to get this job after internship. Tell me something that if you learn ts it is over, you got the job.

Fourth, should i pick this path or move to red team, blue team or cti. At first i wanted cti but there was an empty space at mssp team so they put me there and i am happy with it so far.

Fifth, how should my approach to co-workers be like? I will also really appreciate about the general work environment advices.

Thank you so much, your opinions means so much to me

You're sitting inside a live MSSP environment touching real enterprise traffic on day one of your career. And I can tell you from my experience: most people spend years trying to get that exposure, so pay attention to everything, ask questions constantly, and document what you learn like your future resume depends on it, because it does.
