UNFAIR ADVANTAGE to move from HELP DESK TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR

When you want to move from a help desk role to become a system administrator, this video will give you an unfair advantage against your competition. Small steps will make a difference when you apply for your first role to become a system administrator.

For many help desk technicians and help desk analysts, the next career step is to become a system administrator. The competition for junior-level system administrator roles is high and you need to develop some competitive advantage to win in this game. This video gives you that competitive advantage.

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!

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.

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+.

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

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

I've been working in Desktops support for 5 years and I'm stagnant at my hourly rate. Thanks for the info I'm going to get out here and see if i could land a role.

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

Not hating on this guy or his content. (His content is great btw :)
It really goes to show who is out here looking for change.. Looking for personal growth.. Looking for your dream role. That “8k” views should show you people would rather watch content or anyone of these YouTuber’s that has Hundreds of thousands or millions of views.. Key to success is learning. Although we may find it hard to concentrate.. the goal is to keep going until you can do and say the things you learn with your eyes closed lol.

Thanks for this video mate!

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.

[shameermulji]

With the rise of cloud infrastructure & AI technologies, does this advice still apply today? Or will there be much fewer IT jobs due to AI?

[mrmuffin]

[guineapig]

Im surprised I know all this is.
