How do you progress your IT career when an employer is blocking development
LockedHi All
I was wondering if you have any advice as to how I can progress my career in IT? I am currently working as a IT Service Desk Specialist but mainly 1st line support but I am looking to progress in to infrastructure support and networking. I have my Cisco Certified Network Associate which I acquired in March 2016 and CompTIA A+ certifications. I have enquired with my current employer but there they are no development opportunities and they are not willing to give me any experience in infrastructure so I can gain experience in this area. I believe gaining relevant experience would be beneficial to me in securing a networking role
I want to continue in employment as I have a family to support but also gain networking experience at the same time
I have not decided which area of networking to specialise in but voice, data or infrastructure are my main fields of interest
I would really appreciate any advice on this as it is very frustrating working in my current role and I know I am capable of so much more
