Tenderfoot Network Geek
Congratulations! You’re here, which means that you’re already ahead of your co-worker Noobs because they’re still paying full price. You’ve probably got one of those Pi t-shirts or were a “Mathlete.”
3-4->>>>>>
Chief Engineer Network Geek
You’re pretty Geeky, but there’s still some hope for you love life even though you bring star wars lightsaber chopsticks with you on dates... to Italian restaurants just because pasta originated in Asia.
5-6->>>>>>
First Officer Network Geek
You haven’t worn a suit to work in years, if ever, and your closet is full of Geek t-shirts. We know. Ours is too.
7-8->>>>>>
Master Network Geek
You’re probably hiding a roll of bacon flavored duct tape for that special occasion. You have a Nerf machine gun, remote control helicopters, and a selection of USB humping dogs. We know. We’ve seen it all through the years at the Interop NOC.
9-10->>>>>>
AlphaGeek Network Engineer
Congratulations! You’re the next Steve Wozniak and probably spend your Friday nights shopping at ThinkGeek and Frey’s instead of being on a hot date. It’s OK, you know that loving the right network gear means never having to say “I’m sorry!”
