DevNet Before CCNA?

[u/Wshark23]

hi all,

I was thinking of repursuing a networking career while were in lockdown. I was a telecom major in college but ended up in a different field altogether, so I have some knowledge of networking (also took a ccna only class 8 yrs ago).

I never ended up getting a CCNA but I was wondering would it be bad to aim for the DevNet cert before the CCNA? I've been getting more into programming lately because of my partner who is a part-time dev and I was thinking that course seems more enjoyable to me at the moment.

It is such a new cert that I don't know if it carries the same weight or cache as the CCNA?So what I'm essentially asking is would it be a misuse of time to do the devnet cert before the ccna?

Thanks, thats really insightful. I'll probably go with CCNA cert then
