    To young people or people transitioning to IT, don't get discouraged by the negative comments, most of the people never watch full videos, in this video I have shown on a normal day we work on systems, monitoring and just like normal IT issues or projects on daily basis. IT is not hard but you have to approach learning and techinal issues with proactive approach, people that are complaining might have a different experience and that is why I put a message at end that we do more but it depends on a situation.
    In daily corporate life, you drive car, eat lunch and do meetings lol (not sure why so much hate on this)
    Don't give up, this is a very normal day for a proper sysadmin who know's what they doing and not stressing out 24/7, If someone really want to see Techinal videos in a day in life of system admin then check out my channel with over 1000+ videos.
    In Summary, everyone has different experience and everyone has a choice to work smartly or work the hard way.
    Thanks
    Danish

      I am going for the job of a System Administrator this 20th Nov, 2020. I have very much technical skills like troubleshooting, monitoring unwanted activities, and various other stuffs but not in Windows Server OS but normal Windows OS. I am hoping to get through the interview.😎And thanks to you.Your video is quite encouraging.

      Some advice. Get a job with a Managed Service Provider ASAP. In-house admin work is terrible. When you work in the MSP space u learn very quickly.
      After that you can start to specialise and do high paying contract roles. The skill gap between a person thats spent the majority of thier career in-house compared to MSP is night and day. Every contract I have done I am at God level in kniwledge compared to the in-house IT.

Now I feel like I finally found my calling. So happy I am back in school to get some education and internship experience under my belt. Working on my A+ cert this summer, and going up from there!

    • @Jobskillshare
      @Jobskillshare  4 года назад +1

      Some times you get assigned projects that requires more skills on different product's and it becomes a tense situation but not bad, another thing is how fast technology is changing so if your company is outdated you get to start developing paranoid thinking that what I you lose your job etc and lasty sometimes the issues are related to coding and we sysadmins spend too much time to battle that it's not our issue to fix.
      But over all it's a rewarding career, we get to do many high end project's that normally it's impossible to create a lab for it and good money too.
      I am slow starter it took me 3 years to get a Jr admin job, some people have good mentors and they move on fast.
      Hope it helped

    This is super cringe. Really. These kinds of videos really give people the wrong impression. Being a sysadmin or being in really any division in IT isn't some damn vacation every day. And nobody is guaranteeing you a mercedes benz. Reaching that point will take dedication, hard work and a passion for the things you do.

      No wrong hope given, a right hope and how IT should be done, I have explained some of the daily tasks, showed systems, and the things we do on daily bases, and also I think your ignoring the message given in this video at end.
      Yes, nothing comes for free. I have personally serve this community and made over 1000+ videos to help people achieve IT goals and yes anyone can get Benz with hard work and some passion. Let's not make it so hard for people who would like to get a better life as an IT professional, we all make it sound an evil job while it can be done smartly with proactive approach.
      Thanks
