Entry Level Network Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level network analyst job?
Focus on hands-on skills first: earn a foundational certification like CompTIA Network+ or Cisco's CCNA, and build lab experience through home networks, packet tracer simulations, or internships. Employers at this level look for candidates who can demonstrate troubleshooting ability and familiarity with routing, switching, and network monitoring tools, even without a long work history behind them.
Which companies hire entry level network analysts?
Companies hiring entry level network analysts right now include Esri, Collabera, and DHR Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of employers, including IT managed service providers, government contractors, healthcare systems, and large enterprises building out their network operations teams.
Are there remote entry level network analyst jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles are still common at the entry level since hands-on access to hardware and network infrastructure is often part of the learning curve. About 33% of entry level network analyst openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates open to multiple work settings will have the widest range of options to consider.
Are these new grad network analyst jobs?
Yes. The listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior network analyst roles aimed at candidates just entering the field. A posting is generally new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or academic projects toward that requirement, or accepts a relevant portfolio in place of formal work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level network analysts?
Entry Level network analyst roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Retail, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
