Why we read it this way (8)
The posting lists two possible work locations — Chicago, IL and Las Vegas, NV. The CBSA is set to Chicago as the first-named location; Las Vegas (CBSA 29820) is an equally valid placement.
The degree requirement states 'Bachelor's degree … or equivalent practical experience,' so no formal degree is hard-gated.
The 'IDEAL EXPERIENCE' section is explicitly framed as aspirational ('You won't need every item on this list'), so all skills drawn from it are marked preferred. Core network fundamentals listed under 'Qualifications' are marked required.
Firewall vendors (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco ASA) appear under the preferred 'IDEAL EXPERIENCE' block with 'or similar,' so they are captured as a single preferred skill with alternatives rather than hard gates.
OSPF/BGP appears in the preferred experience block; captured as a preferred skill with BGP as an alternative.
Scripting/automation is listed as a preferred item with no specific language named; captured generically as 'scripting'.
The compensation is stated as a single fixed figure (105k USD/annually), so min and max are both set to 105000.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): firewall administration, wireless design.
