UNFAIR ADVANTAGE to move from HELP DESK TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR

Looking for a System Administrator Certificate is a great idea. Thank you.

ive been in help desk for a 3 years. maybe its time to move to another field

Man Im so pumped I found this video, I recently just hit 1 full year working in IT with mainly support desk and tier 2 technician roles but I am looking now to transition into sys admin and then cybersecurity. Im still trying to get more certifications and learn a lot more in my spare time but I had no idea that 6 months to a year was all that was really needed for a jr sys admin role.

I am currently in a cybersecurity bootcamp. I am wanting to become a system administrator. This video has helped me a ton!

Hoy hoy ha-sha-sha, me lucky charms taste like the rainbow 🌈 boy-o

Im in a consulting company, i am currently working as IT support. In the meanwhile i got my RHCSA at 19 years old. They say that 20 may should start my new occupation as a Redhat sysadmin i hope it will be ....

Excellent video

Great Video man well done.

I am currently working on getting a system admin role. I already have CompTIA A+ and finishing my associates in Network System Management, and work at help desk.. in definitely wanting to move up lol

I'm 27 and have 3 years of experience in service desk analyst... I want to get promoted...

We can tell you are reading a teleprompter... I have suggestions if you want to discuss.

this guy kick ass, awsome video

I've been in the IT support role for 8 years now, and now trying to enter the Sys admin role. However, i just need more server experience. i just need to understand powershell better for real world experiences.

Great video, thanks man. I think virtualization should also be bonus

Apart from the video, the comments section is also a gold mine for knowledge.

i have my CCNA and my Microsoft Azure Fundamentals and admin associate. i think i should be okay.

Im surprised I know all this is.

Wow. Im a college dropout. I guess it does pay to have an education. Wow!

Desktop Support is another entry level role that transitions smoothly into a Sys Admin role. They are basically the guys in the middle between the Help Desk and Sys Admin guys as a Level 2 role. You get more hands on experience in a break/fix field tech environment working on-site and get to use basic sys Admin skills. I plan on moving into a Jr. Sys admin role after Desktop support although Microsoft gotten rid of their MCSA and MCSE, which forces me to study for the Microsoft Azure Administrator certification since Systems Administration is evolving into Cloud Administration. I would have to learn AWS as well along with my Network+ and Security+.

If I have a degree and do homelabs of AD, etc? can I skip the helpdesk role and go direct to sys admin role?

What about linux know how?

Helpful

Holy crap, thank you Cristoph. This is like the exact thing I needed right now. I am currently coming up on the 6 month mark at a help desk position. I currently have my CompTIA Trifecta and CCNA , studying for my AWS CCP. This video was so useful!

I wish i had these videos when i was in my 20's.
