    Love your videos! I switch industries and had to start over with my career journey which has been challenging, but I actually had an interview for a Systems Supervisor recently! My background includes:
    Bachelors and Masters degree (completely unrelated to tech field),
    1 previous tech job as a software automation tester (which I used as a stepping stone into IT world),
    1 previous job in project/program management,
    AWS cloud Practitioner certified,
    Scrum Master certified,
    VERY Basic entry level skills: bash scripting, python, json & yaml (I don't like coding lol), mySQL workbench, git, AWS cloud, software development process and testing.
    I also have a very basic understanding of network and databases. System Administrator position varies greatly from company to company, as do most IT roles, so try to find those that fit your knowledge set. One last fun fact : NONE of my previous boss or managers had upper level degrees or certifications and they told me they just "got lucky" ! Hope this helps.

    Noticed last 10 years, Jr roles have vanaished. Though Support level 2 or really 3 can be considered jr admin but IT jobs aren’t that great with job titles

    Great video! Found your channel by searching for system administrator. With Microsoft moving away from the certs like MCSA MSCE, what alternative certs would you recommend? Currently in the role of service desk/help desk seeking to advance to jr sys adm.

    • @HenokTech
      @HenokTech  3 роки тому +5

      Maybe their Azure focused certifications if you want to stay Windows based. Otherwise, any of the CompTIA like A+, Network+, Linux+, Server+ and also the CCNA if you can help it. I would prioritize a networking cert and one other that fits the role you want to pursue.

    Demanding a degree for sysadmin is just gatekeeping when there are certs out there that accomplish the same thing for 10s of thousands of dollars less.

    I have a question, could I find a remote job like sysadmin jr? I feel that 95% of the IT / technology jobs are for programmers

    • @HenokTech
      @HenokTech  3 роки тому +4

      You can definitely find a remote sysadmin job. It usually depends on how the company manages their infrastructure, if it's in-house then most likely not. I don't think IT jobs are for programmers but roles like sysadmin are starting to want people than can code. This is because companies are adopting the cloud, devops mentality and infrastructure as code (IaC).
