Someone posted on LinkedIn that if you work for 2 years in Citrix NS ADC, that is equivalent to a master's degree in networking. For that reason, when I worked at NS, none of my colleagues has a master's degree, still they are stars there. They ignored many brilliant ideas due to egos/politics and I couldn't see them succeeding except by forming a mafia with the people they know in other companies.
Now, a couple of things for sure, people who worked there for years couldn't actually put a master's degree in their LinkedIn, just because they worked in Citrix ADC.
None of them couldn't join other companies at a title better than their Citrix title.
Whatever may be the case, noone from there can earn technical respect from a group I know, lol i know the software they wrote and one of patheric code I have ever seen.
Some how, they survived in the industry.
