Look as long as you didn't BS in the interview or resume, they should know what to expect. If you talk the talk, can you walk the walk, they must think so, if you've got 2 years of actual work experience you have more than me ( I only have my study experience adn home lab) . I'd say, go for it. I know I don't learn from doing every thing right. The best learned lessons, are sometimes, goofs, but you've got an edge, cause you already know how to use cisco.com and groupstudy to get feedback about issues, problems and others experiences. Ask for help when you need it, learn from the new environment and bring what you learned from the past to the new, see which has better processes to get things done, use what you need, volunteer for the new projects and keep those skills growing, then look back and say holy, years have past, I've learned a ton (what to do, what not to do) and move up or on. Yes you might be in over your head, but if you don't challange yourself how will you grow. Best of luck and look foreward to hearing how your doing... Say since you're a Sr Networking Engineer now, when will you get your CCIE?

[7:69746] Hey guys, I just got an offer to become a 2nd senior network engineer for this company in Orange Country. Great News i know!! Dilemma: I am a CCNP but have no local Area Nework Experience. Going to be workin with Catalyst 6500 switches. Also i have about 2 yrs working with cisco equipment, however, dont feel i am ready for a senior title and duties. Also working with cisco routers. What do you guys think i should do? 1. Take the job and see how it works out? Maybe mess up their network and look real dumb and unknowledgable on some troubleshooting. risked getting fired? 2. Let the job go, and watch a great opp float away? 3. Keep the existing job i have working with cisco equipment and technology? p.s. This job is a senior position, so meaning senior pay. very positive aspect, and a great company going places. over 4000 employees. Your output is greatly appreciated. Really need some advice.
