The company I work for, Qanda Networks, is exploring the possibility of
hiring another network person. We're a company of 2 people and we're both
working 50-60 hour weeks. Below is a list of the things we're looking for.
We basically need someone that's good with Cisco, Fortinet, Windows and
some Linux in roughly that order.
The work is demanding, but very interesting. We do network design,
implementation, troubleshooting and third party monitoring. Our customers
consist mostly of healthcare, government, education and the financial
sector.
If you're interested or know someone who might be interested, email me at
