Spent two years configuring SR-MPLS and BGP networks on Nokia infrastructure without anything formal to show for it. Every time a senior routing role came up internally, the same people with credentials got considered first. Nokia Network Routing Specialist II Certification covers Segment Routing, IS-IS, BGP advanced configuration, and MPLS architecture at a depth that daily routing work rarely pushes you into.
Where the Preparation Actually Went
SR-MPLS and Segment Routing took the most time. Not because the concepts were impossible, but because the exam pushes applied decision-making rather than surface recall. First timed attempt landed at 54 percent in week two. By week six, that number was sitting at 84 percent consistently through reviewing wrong answers after every session.
The Salary Side
A senior IP Network Specialist offer came through three months after passing. Salary moved from 98,000 to 130,000 dollars with the role change. CertBoosters tracks career path progression, salary figures by country, and global hiring trends for the Nokia Network Routing Specialist II Certification.
