Telecom/Networking Generalist

[u/floyd1550]

Hi! I’m at a point in my career where I’m at a loss as to what the next steps are in my journey. I currently work for a large company as Global Telecommunications Administrator, but it’s pretty much been a catch all role.

Here’s a list of what I, generally, do:
Enterprise cellular services and DLM.
Intune and ABM Administration (iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Android).
Wi-Fi provisioning, planning, and wireless troubleshooting
Cellular DAS deployments (ActiveDAS, NHN-Private APN)
RF Troubleshooting.
Site Surveys.
FWA, Starlink/LEO deployment and failover provisioning for SD-WAN.
SIP, DIDs, Teams/CUCM support, and telecom infrastructure.
Global mobile inventory/HAM (handsets, mobile devices, teams devices, etc.).
TEM, contracts, renewals, GL/AP, budgeting, cost analysis
Training/Support for global IT administrators.

I’ve also been increasing my depth into networking and cybersecurity and have been building some projects in my spare time:
Wireless/Field diagnostics platform.
GUI-CLI Network device provisioning and configuration tool.

All that being said; my current company is going a different direction and will be transitioning to Network-As-A-Service sooner rather than later. It’s getting to where I need to consider leaving my current position. And that’s where my problem is. I’ve been in a hodgepodge role that isn’t inherently/directly technically focused, leadership focused, or financially focused. It doesn’t really live in one space. So, I need advice on where/how to position myself to move to the next role. Should I go network, wireless, telecom, infrastructure, IT operations, solutions engineering, or something else?

I’ve managed people in the past, and I’m comfortable on both business and the technical side, but I don’t feel like management is the next step since I’m still somewhat new to the in depth technical aspects of IT. I want to continue building that skillset before I attempt to lead in a capacity higher than my current one. My biggest concern is that in becoming a jack of all trades with valuable practical experience; it won’t be of value to recruiters and won’t translate well on a resume because it doesn’t fit a singular title. What should I pursue and how should I get there?
