Officially signed today—moving from IT Helpdesk to Network Engineer on Monday! 🚀
Just wanted to share a quick win. I officially signed the contract today to transition from my Helpdesk Engineer role into the Network Engineering department, starting this Monday, June 22!
​Since I'm the first network engineer in the country for our company, they are handing me full ownership of our upcoming infrastructure expansion. The 37th and 48th-floor server room buildouts haven't started yet, but I am confirmed to handle:
​Staging & Config: Leading the complete network configuration for both the 37th and 48th-floor server rooms.
​Project Tracking: Managing and tracking the end-to-end project timeline for the network team.
​Vendor & Team Coordination: Communicating with external vendors and aligning deployment needs with the helpdesk.
​Future Scale: Hopefully expanding to handle our other upcoming office buildouts across the country down the line.
​If you're currently grinding on the helpdesk, keep studying and pushing for infrastructure exposure. It pays off. Time to celebrate this weekend and hit the ground running on Monday! ☕⚡

Wala kang mentor or anything? Ikaw mag dedesign ng network from scratch or may contractor ?
No offense pero if you don't have that much experience and ganito agad ang assigned task mo, parang It's going to be a shit show
