Hey man, I've watched all your DevOps related videos and I've got my first IT job ! Moved to IT at 35 years old knowing only basics of Linux and programming. Your videos helped me to calm down and be prepared well on Interview. Talked a little about Jenkins, Ansible, Docker etc. and tried to present myself as a "eager to learn" person. That's worked :)
I have one semester left until graduating, so not a ton of full-time experience...but I will have worked 4 internships prior to graduating. If anyone is in college, apply to as many internships as possible. They are extremely fun, get you outside of your comfort zone, and teach you sooo much. Ask as many questions as possible while there, feel out who you can go to to learn new things, and bring a positive vibe with new ideas to the team. It'll most likely work out and you'll learn a ton. Don't be afraid to talk to people twice your age, bring up issues and new ways of doing things, and be a team player. You got this ish! :D Also, if you're looking to potentially move somewhere...use internships as a way to test out the new city. More often than not they will give you a housing stipend and make sure you're safe at the new location for the summer. This way you get to try a new city on someone else's dime. It's awesome!!
I just want to say thank you. I was able to get a job after preparing with you interview series. It was super helpful. I took your advice of staying honest about my experience level and it worked. I got a job in the most unlikely organization... Thank you.
#5 is SOOOO spot on!!! Young folk look for and establish mentors. WE WANT TO HELP YOU! We see our younger selves in you. Dave I LOVE your channel! Keep up the great work😃
Thanks Dave. Your tips helped an almost-30-year-old man who's eager to start his tech career (No, it's not too late), and is running on the certification treadmill.
This doesn't completely apply but it certainly added some incredible "second winds" to my curiosity/learning processes--Easter Eggs. Devs are whimsical and serendipitous (too a fault maybe)! Search for Easter Eggs in modules and frameworks because they absolutely exist 🧐😂 For myself, it's turned this gargantuan field into a sort of Narnia. It's made learning new platforms entertaining. Hey, do you have an examples of Easter Eggs you've discovered? Thanks for the content! Following.
You forgot to mention don't be afraid to say what you don't know. I just got into Tech and I realized my coworkers are willing to say they do not know things, Orno a certain skill set.
What do you think of Cluster Management Software like Pacemaker/Heartbeatfor managing Loadbalancers and DRBD? Does it still have value in todays „cloud“ world? Or is it already too old? Appreciate your content a lot! Informative and entertaining, keep it up!
Unsolicited advice: Frame your video properly. That much space above your head makes the video REALLY uncomfortable to watch. You audio is very nice. I like the fact that the video feels very real, like we are just casually talking after I asked you: Hey man, how do I get into tech?
“Able to build useful stuff” I guess? Depends on the context. For a junior role I’d expect to see some familiarity with a programming language like Python and some experience building 50-100 line scripts without just copying a tutorial. Beyond that it depends on the sub-discipline that the person is interviewing for. That’s what I look for in interviews, anyway!
You’re so right about the “child prodigy” Im two months into my job as a “systems and software engineer” and people love me and i have no idea why I just want to learn as much as I can… which has become a problem because now I feel like im learning too many things at once and Idk what i should focus on.. been learning c#, python, and SQL. I know if your video you said know how to program and recommended python but im so stuck inbetween python and c# I keep going back and forth pleas help!
I’d say learn whichever language you’re going to use more at your current job. At the beginning it almost doesn’t matter which language you learn, just that you get a loooot of practice solving real problems.
@@tutoriaLinux okay thanks, my job actually has me doing mostly SQL and vbscript but im not sure how useful VBScript is as far as transferring to another Job.. but I think I will just sub to your channel do your python project and any other coding tutorials you do to add to my resume as well, THANKS ALOT !!

Dude, you forgot to say that having some tutorialinux merch gives you extra charisma that will substantially help you kickstart your tech career
Haha, stop revealing that super secret knowledge that I only share in my $4000 7-week tech mastermind course!
@@tutoriaLinux if this course will show me how to be a hacker and hack the hackable mainframes, shut up and take my money!

Worry not, I'm nearly 40 and doing official academic IT tech course ("Formación Profesional Superior" in my country). Never is too late.
Almost-30-year-old? Hold my beer.....
really needed this today. thank you for your knowledge, time, and effort
Excellent commentary. Really enjoyed the protips.
Wonderful. As always.

Something I need really

Are Linux Foundation Certifications worth pursuing or not?
you are true
What are some good tech channels to follow? In general as a tech newbie
Brian will is awesome.

How do you quantify ‘skilled in programming’?

Great video! Do you have a degree?
tipp 1: Dont do into tech. Run. Do anything else than tech. Be happy.
Tech can be an amazing career! Why are you telling other people not to get into it?
