We can not compare Career of a Software Engineer with Carer of a Network Engineer because of the huge difference in their Salary Packages, Growth and Competition. If there are 60 students in any IT/CSE batch of Btech, 58-59 students opt for Software Engineering, whereas only 1-2 students per batch go for Network Engineers as a Career.

Competition is very high in Software profiles which results into lower growth rate and lower salary packages. Whereas in Networking, competition is very less. Especially in Cisco networking field, demand is more than the supply, which results in Higher salary packages and higher growth rates.
