Yowza! Two-years Cisco experience, CCNP, and no real-world experience on LANs gets you a *senior* position?? What's the name of this company? I feel a move to Orange County coming on... :-) Seriously, you must have shown the skills they were requiring of a senior-level person in their organization, and every organization has different guidelines. Heck, I don't even qualify to be a senior person in our company yet! That's related to time in the department, though. Still, you seem to be a little worried that they might expect more from a senior person than you're ready to deliver. Take an honest assessment of your capabilities and if you're still worried, start studying your tail off right now. You know we're always here to help when we can. Show some confidence and be willing to continually learn as much as possible as quickly as possible; be thorough and conscientious; be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. (Hopefully someone will get that joke, ) Dive in head first and work your tail off and you should have a great chance at succeeding. If they've offered the job, take it and run with it.
