In this episode I talk about why System Administrator is my favorite IT role. Today’s Show This following is highly influenced by my own opinions and experiences The System Administrator role is my favorite in the IT field Education & Experience requirements 4+ years with 4 year degree 8+ years without degree Responsibilities Wide range of technology Highly transferable skills High impact on business goals Compensation – https://www.glassdoor.com Privately owned company with < 1000 users IT department isn’t too large Company more likely to care More able to move the needle Company culture/IT culture is important Limited on call work Reasonable approach to maintenance, projects and budgeting Employee success encouraged Training available Mentoring available Why I can provide for my family of 6 I get to do work that I enjoy and is challenging and rewarding I am proud of my job and the company I work for I can focus on my family when I’m not at work Final Thoughts Don’t focus only on technical skills. Take time to grow your people skills, public speaking and project management abilities. You may need to switch employers a few times to get the necessary experience, or to land your desired role No one should be holding you back, but don’t rush it. Be realistic about your experience level. You are in control of your own career. Yes you can just coast and it won’t really effect you much up front, but what do you want to be doing in 5 years, or 10 years. If you are not working towards that now it will most likely never occur. Prepare now, so that you will be ready when the opportunity arrives. You can email me with any feedback dustin@sysadminshow.com…
