Well if you plan to be a hacker you want to be employed with a company that pays you to hack.. there are paid corporate and government hackers whose job is to hunt other hackers and the law protects them. You don’t want to be caught as an independent hacker.
@@satchell78 So true, the problem is that marketing peoples say "yes" all the time without understanding the basics, while project managers usually only ask "is it done yet? No?! Well, how much does it take?" Period. However, and I only speak for this industry in Italy, I was not joking about my previous comment: most of the people here do not understand "modern tech and computer science", so it is very difficult to tell why there are so many roles, why are different and why should be done by different people and especially why you have to pay those people to build a solid software product (especially if it has web and networking involved). It is not so deeply bad, but it could be way way better if there will be much team work and better understanding of these roles and that they cannot be done by the same guy who "fixes printers" (I guess that it is one of the main reason of burnout in this industry)

I like how you make technical support sound cool. In reality, 90% of it is: hay! My computer isn't working. I go there to see that the power isn't connected 😂. Then I go back to watching movies or some other shit.
Or like in my company: 'Oh, my VPN stopped working!' 'It looks like your computer wiped off required configuration after update, and you need an L2 support` Then, after 5 days... `Hi, I'd like to say my VPN started to work!` `Great! How was L2 support?` `It was not needed. It was solved by itself` Magic happens :D
Been in support for a very long time and got bored because how ridiculous users can be, got promoted to Cloud Engineer in Ms Azure, but still learning because I am a Junior.
if you wanna get technical like that theres too many "roles" to possibly cover. Most of these jobs are covered under one position. For example i'm a "Backend engineer" which means I cover database engineering, software engineering, data science etc
A lot of these roles (eg. it support, networking, admin) overlap in a small organization. The types that allow you to wear a lot of hats while helping working in conjunction with offsite IT teams, is a really good career path which is very advantageous to climb the ladder.
yh but also you don't do the harder stuff of every role and neither use the full suite of tools. For example a network engineer at most will generate basic certificates which is the role of infra team, but will not have a super deep understanding or work involved with server/windows CLI and certs. In opposition infra guys will know the super basics of DNS but network engineer will have to actually configure that shit in CLI, do packet traces, etc. As an infra or network engineer in a small organisation you might have basic contact with microsoft 365 and azure admin portals but a sys admin would probably really use that thing and in depth and everything would be organised and assigned properly. You might even work with MS/Azure TAC on complex cases. The infra or network engineeers will barely touch those and will probably have step by step KBAs with pictures they are following, like for example taking an azure palo off the load balancer for patching. Similarly infra/sysadmins might unite a monitoring tool for network devices, and that probably has like auto-discovery, just plug in an IP or DNS name, but it is network engineers who go in and apply /re-apply the snmp v2 or v3 configuration when needed. Or pull meraki devices into the monitoring tool. But it would be the network engineers who would troubleshoot with Meraki TAC and dig deep into the Event logs tab and meraki configuration for any issues.
Even though the roles and responsibilities aren't talked in detail in the video, it's a good overview about the IT roles that are available out there. Thank you for providing a valuable overview.
I think what you mentioned as Software Developer is an overview of Software Engineer. Software Developer is mainly focused on implementing new features (together with unit tests) and bugfixes, and eventually deployment. Software Engineer not only develops, but also designs, plans and maintains such features. In some companies the scope is so close between engineers and developes that they are treated as same persons, but in others there is a difference I've mentioned.
Level 3 doing breakfix on printers is like a surgeon working a hospital cash register. The IT field is so screwed i cant understand why there is no union yet. Small business IT companies are a death knell.
Level 3 support would usually be doing something more advanced. If a Level 3 is working on a printer, it's because levels 1 and 2 could not resolve it. Or a Level 3 may be working on devices for corporate leaders and not regular workerd. So he's working on printers but he has very little room for error because he's working with the C-Suite.
What I see is these days if you want to have a job you are basically required to cover a multitude of roles in this list, and nobody cares if it is physically impossible to cover them all at the same time (at least not well).
Since it says "Tech Job" and not IT id like to add Event Technician. Really diverse job and it really has a special vibe with the type of people you meet there. Working hours can take some getting used to though depending on the company.
Excellent ! Pls give the complete Roles & Responsibilities of the Hierarchy in a Software organization. like What exactly are the responsibilites of General Manager, Vice President, Director, CEO ? Differentiate between them.
The big difference is that security analysts need an SOC (Security Operations Center) to perform a realtime 24/7 monitoring of the network to detect any cyber threat or anomalies, but a cybersecurity analyst does not work realtime and 24/7, they implement, config and support NIDS, NIPS and firewalls. They scan for vulnerabilities, also they can perform IR (Incident Response) tasks and forensics.
I wish I could do any of these but I feel so unable to even get moving I initially wanted to code but decided I'ma try it support specialist but can't even sit to study. Ugh I'ma be a failure for ever it feels like.
All career tracks can compensate well over 100k (depending on location and company) in less than 5 years, except for IT Support where you are limited to 65k unless you're a manager where you may be in the high 5 figures. For all others, you can make over 6 figures. Also, be ready to swap companies every 3-4 years to get a bigger pay bump. My advice to newbies stay away from IT Support or Desktop support jobs as it will be a dead end for you unless you plan to get into IT management. Sadly some of my IT colleagues stopped at IT desk support and never pursued more advanced levels of certifications or home-built labs and they are not doing too well. Well they are making enough to get by. My other advice is to get into a role where you are building or creating something. Support roles can be soul-draining including being in a SOC. -From an IT guy who's been in it for over 17 years now.
Why no hardware engineers? You should say all software jobs for the title. I know plenty of electrical and computer engineers that work in the tech field.

Hacking is the most complicated field in IT, because it requires deep knowledge of every IT field - From programming to Networking
And thats why cybersec is considered mid level by default

`Hi, I'd like to say my VPN started to work!`

Worst tech job? Tier 1 help desk. Hands down. After 20+ years in many different junior and senior IT roles, that was always the worst.
Isn’t that entry level? Shouldn’t it automatically be the worst?
@@jaymoney1224Right, it’s an entry-level so I would assume it’s the ‘worst’ because you start at the bottom.
Level 3 doing breakfix on printers is like a surgeon working a hospital cash register. The IT field is so screwed i cant understand why there is no union yet. Small business IT companies are a death knell.
wait so you’re telling that there are support teams where the level 3 support roles are the ones troubleshooting printers???😂😂😂😂

in Indonesia we do all including fixing the broken Airconditioning,TV and broken door
😂 that's sad
😂
😅😅😅
Bro tried to avoid stereotypes in the thumbnail but still made the IT support an indian 😭😭
Yea like it’s only plausible for a minority to be IT support😂
Since it says "Tech Job" and not IT id like to add Event Technician. Really diverse job and it really has a special vibe with the type of people you meet there. Working hours can take some getting used to though depending on the company.
Work at a startup and I do damn near half of these jobs, though none to the level I would like. Sometimes I worry that this is harming my career

Now I know my job description. I've been all these roles but paid as one

Jobs posts be like : you need to be. A master professional on all that……..
Thanks for Explaination, from Non IT guy 😊
Excellent !
Pls give the complete Roles & Responsibilities of the Hierarchy in a Software organization.
like What exactly are the responsibilites of General Manager, Vice President, Director, CEO ? Differentiate between them.
So.. Cybersecurity Analyst and security analyst isn't the same thing??
Eh, security can also be physical… I think it’s a somewhat arbitrary specialist vs generalist divide
The big difference is that security analysts need an SOC (Security Operations Center) to perform a realtime 24/7 monitoring of the network to detect any cyber threat or anomalies, but a cybersecurity analyst does not work realtime and 24/7, they implement, config and support NIDS, NIPS and firewalls. They scan for vulnerabilities, also they can perform IR (Incident Response) tasks and forensics.
what is the difference between it security specialist and a security analyst?
Today's companies want everything in one employee and still chances of you getting a job are slim
Data analysts, Cloud Data engineer, software engineering skills are combined into one nowadays
So, security analyst and cybersecurity analyst are not the same thing?
Sysadmin got that dumpy
There are so many overlaps
As a network administrator I feel offended by the look of that network switch
Haha, love it! 😂
Is AV considered IT? Or is it just IT adjacent?
I wish I could do any of these but I feel so unable to even get moving I initially wanted to code but decided I'ma try it support specialist but can't even sit to study. Ugh I'ma be a failure for ever it feels like.
