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.
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.
I want to learn in Linux and more knowledge. Some interview asked LAMP stack questions. To configure apache ans MySQL and WordPress. One more is SSL certificates. Like ubuntu ans CentOS. Can you please share me your knowledge.
Hi Great Content Ok gut all of these stuff with some search but give us your opinion what did you do if you do all over again, from zero some steps . People like you with experience i think habe more things to tell. Maybe many of us eliminate our time. Thanks man
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.
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).
Knowledge about virtual machines, installing windows server in it, making a domain controller, Active Directory, group policies,vpn knowledge, office 365 experience and that's probably it..
What if your self taught and will only do 16 hour part time work? due to benefit reasons. Can you show that your self taught? I just dont like office politics.

Nice and interesting video, thank you! If a person has passion and persistence (kind of KAIZEN method, baby steps), then everything is possible.
Thanks for the helpful video! This may sound like a silly question, sorry, but as a sys admin what kind of personal projects could one work on?

@@ankushdeep8233 only if your a windows sys admin.
What if your self taught and will only do 16 hour part time work? due to benefit reasons. Can you show that your self taught? I just dont like office politics.
Freelance work might be the route for you.
