What am I qualified for?
I have some IT experience but seem kind of stuck in my current position and I wanted to get some Red Hat experts opinions on what I should/could be looking for in a new role.
Here is a brief background on my experience:
- 10 years in the restaurant/bar industry with much of that being manager experience
- no college degree
- broke into IT in early 2020 (just before covid)
- 2 years on Help Desk
- 2 years doing Desktop Support at another company
- 2+ years in my current role as a Sys Admin at a small company
Certifications:
- CompTIA Security+
- Cisco CCNA
- RHCSA (planning to start working on RHCE soon)
In my current Sys Admin role, it is a Windows shop at a small company. I maintain a few servers, site-to-site vpn to our other offices, Active Directory, NAS etc but its limited just because it is a small company and I also do desktop support here as well.
At home lately I have been dabbling with a home lab (mostly Windows) to try to mimic a larger enterprise company as well.
I am interested in Linux roles and I am also intrigued by cybersecurity. I plan to relocate to the Greenville, SC area in the near future after landing a new job. With that being said I am going to attend the bsides event in Greenville later this summer.
Do any of you fine people of this group have any recommendations on the types of roles I am qualified for or would be a good fit for? I see so many posts about finding a job with certs but no experience but I wanted to get others thoughts on certs plus my level of experience.
Thanks!
