Randomly youtube recommended me this, I'm glad, keep the good work

[JerryGonzalez]

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!

I just think its hilarious that her laptop stand is just a bunch of other laptops.

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🎉

[apoorva]

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.

[ravendalerobles]

Hello! I just got hired as a jr system admin. Your daily duties are interesting! makes me excited to work. any tips? 👋

[udohudoh]

The video I’ve been looking for. Looking to get into service now and I’ve been confused on how to start

[markbenson]

I love how you view watching quantum physics videos as relaxing lol that's awesome 👌

[Popypoopy]

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 😊

[mwafulirwa]

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

[Samy-psyo]

Grapes and quantum physics at lunch break!! keep it up 👍

[emoney]

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.

[jnelly]

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?

[chiorazu]

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?

[Lucas-ivld]

You do a variety of roles, that's cool to be honest

[miltonmeji]

What brand is the antenna you was working are they all tx ?

[gibson]

So 50 Mbps was low and you thought it was a good idea to decrease it to 15 Mbps? Care to elaborate?

[eurostar]

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 too much for me.

[leonardopinzon]

Mim, in what city are you? Because sometimes looks like Los angeles and some other times looks like San Francisco.
