Are those really totally mutually exclusive? Which of these is better career path? Which provides more opportunities? I think with everything going to cloud from application to servers and networks, some legacy career path like Cisco seem to be becoming less relevant. I guess if depends what interests you, but suppose you like both networking and linux, scripting, devops is probably better choice?
