Randomly youtube recommended me this, I'm glad, keep the good work
I just think its hilarious that her laptop stand is just a bunch of other laptops.
Hehe! Yeah those are dead, expired warranty laptops, so I keep as spare parts lol MULTIPURPOSE! 🤣
@@mimztechritoryI do the same lol😂. Now I feel like a genius because of you. Thank you for sharing
4:36 - That was a Ubiquiti AirFiber 60 LR wireless backhaul. It primarily operates on 60 GHz but has a 5 GHz backup because millimeter-wave frequencies (like those used in 5G cellular networks and this one) are susceptible to rain fade, especially with long distances. You can manage these wireless bridges with the UISP software.
Thank you for posting this video. When people ask me what I do, I tell them I am a sysadmin and get a confused look. I get tired of explaining it to them so I decided to look for one of these ‘day in the life’ videos and there are a ton of them but yours most closely resembles my role so now I just send them a link whenever I ask. BTW I never knew those type of wireless fiber antennas even existed. Good to know🎉
Thank you for watching!! I always have to explain what a sysadmin does, the definition is always different! :)
Those are some cool fiber antennas.
One of the best day in the life vids
That means a lot to me, thank you!
Wow! You’re covering a lot.
At our org, facilities or internal cabling team would handle satellites, network team configures the bridges and firewall policies, director (me) handles vendor orders for increasing bandwidth, sysadmins manage VMs, hypervisors and various applications hosted, such as Citrix and VDI, security team handles defender and SIEM, regional technicians handle organizing cables and taking in shipment of new peripherals…etc.
You’re definitely a jack of all trades. Excellent work!
Thank you! Our company is medium size, but our IT team is small - so I've had to learn many different aspects. I love it - it gives me a chance to gain experience and figure out what I would like to master.
Is this career field hard to learn?
You made it seem so interesting and cool! I hope I can work like that in future. Soon I'm going to the basics of this field as a compete beginner.
Thank you for your kind words! Good luck to you, hope you find your dream job!!
Omg, this is so inspirational.
Thank you so much! 💙
awesome Video Mimz, looks like you enjoy every bit of your Job. fellow Sysadmin here; so does it mean you also handle the Network aspect of things ? in my Orga we have a dedicated Department that handles Networking (which can both be a blessing a curse sometimes lol) looking forward to more Vidz as you transition to Cloud. def subscribing
Smashed it!
The video I’ve been looking for. Looking to get into service now and I’ve been confused on how to start
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏🏽
So you basically did Cloud and Ubiquity for the day...do you work with MDMs or Asset Management too or software licensing ?or are you just a Cloud Admin?
Good stuff. I see that your client was migrating to Azure. Do you also have a background in AWS and GCP? Was the transition, for you, to learning the cloud fairly straightforward?
Thank you so much! I am transitioning from an on-prem sysadmin to a cloud engineer / cloud admin. I've been studying azure, AWS and Google Cloud. I'm still in the transition phase - it is definitely different and a lot of work studying and learning new things. With my background, so far the transition has been smooth. Just need to consistently learn!
Grapes and quantum physics at lunch break!! keep it up 👍
Thank you for viewing! I love grapes 🍇 😁
I love how you view watching quantum physics videos as relaxing lol that's awesome 👌
Lol! It's interesting stuff! Even though I probably understand 2% of it! :D
What brand is the antenna you was working are they all tx ?
Hi there! Those antennas are Air Fiber 60LR , model GNS-5460-LR
Is an associates degree in network admin sufficient for entry level positions?
I'd say so! An AA gives that basic knowledge that allows you to jump into an entry level and continue moving up. You just need to find the right place!
Mim, in what city are you? Because sometimes looks like Los angeles and some other times looks like San Francisco.
Hi, I film from different cities in CA. Ive filmed in LA, Big Bear, SD, SF, etc :)
How did you get into the role? Did you get certifications? I'm stuck at a level 2 help desk job and I'm trying to transition into system admin.
I was in the same spot, getting my AZ-104 and CCNA got me out of help desk and into a system engineer role.
@@ToneVidaaaaaa well i will get my degree in cs in 4 months. Would that help? I have az900, a+ and a diploma in networking. I failed az104 once
50Mbps internet connection for an office setting? I'm in Spain and I got 1Gbps symmetrical connection for my home. lol My ISP offers 10Gbps for 5 bucks extra on my bill, but its wayyyyyy too much for me.
I agree. Although sometimes if its a smaller company, they may not have the money to pay for a faster connection. Or sometimes if that company has no IT team, the owner(s) may not really understand what speeds they need.
Quit my career from a biology research background. I made a terrible career choice thinking the pay would be great in biology but is the complete opposite …. currently changing careers into python coding and hope to land a job in help desk to start out and move into syst admin. Studying for compTIA A+ and Linux+
I just really want to make sure I expand my skills so I can be guaranteed a job
I can’t wait to make that very big money 😊
Those won't be enough to make you big money off the bat. Make sure you get the Network+ and at least one Microsoft cert as well. Cisco certs are also good.
@@ericsmith6996 yea, I know :/
I am currently finishing an associates degree in coding while studying for A+
It’s a little exhausting but will do those in the future
The more certs one has the better
@@Po0pypoopy okay if you get an Associate's degree in codingm that will definitely be enough to land you a job in the 75k to 100k range right out of the gate. :-) Network + is pretty critical foundational stuff though. You should watch Professor Messer's series. I used it to pass the Network+
Hello everything is fine ?
Your videos are really cool, congrats.
Sorry for my bad english.
What program do you use to create that timeline for your projects?
Greetings from Brazil.
Thank you very much
Thank you so much! More to come!
@@mimztechritory What program do you use to create that timeline for your projects?
I use a few project mgmt tools. Trello, clickup and Microsoft Planner. For timelines and deadlines I use ClickUp.
@@mimztechritory Very cool, I use Microsoft tools too. This ClickUp did not know. Thanks a lot for the tips.
1:02 This is ClickUp ?
no commandline interface stuff?
Not for that video. I've been doing more powershell / cmd line recently. I'll throw some in soon! 😁
LinkedIn not working in search
Hi! Hmm, I will check that out! Follow me on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/mariaglopez12
So 50 Mbps was low and you thought it was a good idea to decrease it to 15 Mbps? Care to elaborate?
Yes, the reason for limiting down to 15 was the company did not want to pay for higher internet speeds. So 100 users and 300 devices all shared 50 Mbps up and down, which was brutal, as you can imagine! Some machines overpowered the internet, which would bring folks to 0.2 speeds at times, so i put a limit of 15 Mbps to try and help folks overall.
Once higher ups started noticing the painfully slow internet, they upgraded to 500 Mbps up and down quickly!
Interesting, so did the lowering the bandwidth from 50 to 15 Mbps help exactly? Or was it just to make your company take action on getting an upgrade?
Nothing was going to help that situation except upgrading. It bought folks a little more time, but it went from internet being slow at 11am to internet being slow at 1pm lol So the only option in that situation was to upgrade the internet speed.
@@mimztechritoryI see. I guess I'm a but confused and wonder why lowering the bandwidth was the right thing to do when the problem was that the bandwidth was too low to begin with. Thanks for responding.
Some folks were gaming, installing beefy updates and streaming, so it was consuming all of the bandwidth. So I set a limit to stop that from happening and share the little bandwidth that we had. It was a unique situation :)
You do a variety of roles, that's cool to be honest
Yes, I love positions that allow you to wear many hats. Gives you a chance to learn and experience everything! 😁
You like Metallica? Rock on \m/
Yup! One of my favorite bands of all time! 🤘
Someday you will just go to the gym. I doubt that very much.
Lmao! A lot of people workout during lunch, I take it you are not one of them ! 🤣
