not trying to avoid Networking concepts because it intersects with everything in IT

I just find the learning material a bit underwhelming and confusing and I just want to get the biggest return on my investment even if it is a free voucher.

you got experience in networking?

I tried to get Sec+ without Net+ and failed
Got my Net+ and then Sec+ within two months of each other. It is a lot of memorization but fukk it, the concepts are valid. Now if you can only pick one, go for Sec+ as it covers some Network stuff and a lot of companies are looking for Sec+ at a minimum. Probably helped me with my new company and I'm hoping I can get them to pay for my bachelor's as well

The majority of the submitting questions on the test were with Class C addresses.

There is an easy trick to figuring out how many addresses per /27 /28 /29.

Look up Professor Messor and Mike Myers.

Is there a good amount of training in these positions or do they count on you mostly knowing everything yourself?
Most companies won't just throw you into the fire without knowing how their company works, their applications, procedures, etc.
