Sometimes I think about this myself(40) but then remind myself that as long as I keep learning, keep evolving, and keep grinding it don't matter what they do. I'll be able to find a lane for myself.

I hate when people say this.

If you're using the cloud how does your data get to the internet border of your company?

How do you split what connections go straight to the internet or to your cloud presence?

If you are running hybrid cloud, how do you choose which applications go to which clouds?

BGP runs the internet. If you want to connect to AWS/Azure and you don't understand BGP communities or local preference, you're gonna have a hard time.

I've had cybersecurity engineers break stuff because they can't subnet or don't understand longest match when it comes to routing.

If you think network engineering is dead all I can say is good luck.

Networking is fundamental, we're always going to need network engineers (besides the collapse)
