Coffee> personal project> paid work. This is a man with his priorities straight. It's good that you start with a personal project every day. This helps get you warmed up for the day and reminds you that you're ultimately working on skills for your own goals.
Awesome video man. Just started as a systems Admin, most of the times I'm on the net searching for different scripts depending on the tasks at hand, so I always feel like I don't do enough
For the past year or so I’ve been really interested in learning Linux. I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes. It’s really hard to transition from the job I have to go into IT and Linux Admin. But your video really helped motivate me to try it. Thanks. Now I just need to find out what courses (preferably for free) to take so I can get certification
I’m very disheartened too, these IT guys act like learning and knowing a billion different things and how to figure out how to fix and solve issues is some easy task…. Learning all these things it’s a crazy large amount of information to hold in your mind…. All the terms, all the different ways of thinking, the theory, Linux, security, wans, lans, vlans, wireless access points, like where do you begin to start learning in this vast universe of IT
@Migratory Bird Thanks for the roadmap! I noticed that Comptia offers the Linux+ program. I was confused if you needed to take the Linux+ certification in addition to A+ and N+. I guess it wouldn't hurt to do all
I have just landed a job as a System Administrator From being in the NOC department. super excited to learn more in this position for the next 1yr or 2 !
Great video, brother. I currently work for a big tech corp, as a data center tech. My previous job, a network tech for a university, I always talked to our Linux system admin. He was always full of good information. He used ansible and a few other tools which I don't remember.
Thanks for fueling me with these vids because of this I’m able to strive for my certifications in information technology. Currently i am heavily interested in Linux and servers. I just hope that one day I could be working my dream job too.
Hi! My everyday as an "IT" it's pretty much the same, I'm trying to add more fruit and vegetables to my diet, and also gym (Too much time on the chair) Have a nice day!
Good thing you don’t get a call a lot from your boss. Me I get a call from my boss probably 10x a day bcoz he can’t supervise our developers and it’s freakin annoying and it’s stressing me out!
Hah, I was a Support guy for the last 10 years, and from this year, I switched to a "SysOps" role for the VPN company, I was looking at what actually this means careerwise on other places, I can see that what I do is similar to this and not to the AWS SysOps admin that I see every time I google for it. I will start to look for more System Admin stuff out there to see what skills can I improve and how. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Nice Video. Can you also make a video on the setup which you are using? I really liked the monitor in which you were working. It helps a lot in multi-tasking.
I'm a system manager for over 15 years, and problems can vary from computer monitor off to server crashed. How to solve them is to identify the issue, make a plan of attack and execute. Also, google helps. Also, also, if all else fails, call your vendor.
Great Video, perfect content to calm down after a stressful day as beeing a System Administrator as well 😌 keep going ! And Thumbs up for the Keychron 🤩
Man … the whole time I watched you work I was thinking you were from somewhere India … Then I read your name!! You habesha and so am I! Yemechih! Stay focused brother, thanks for sharing the video.
Great video! I was super wondering if you use a lot of Linux skills? or Windows skills such as Active Directory? and if hardware work is one of the main tasks you do because there are heaps of videos about sysadmin setting up the hardware as well. I am currently a computer system technician student who hates python but really enjoys Linux. I'm in my 2nd year and need to look for an internship next term, but I don't know what career I can choose based on my preference. I was thinking about data analyst as I like collecting data, but if it requires a high level of Python skills, I'm not sure that I can try becoming a data analyst. I am willing to learn SQL tho!
Hey Henok, just wanted to let you know this is an excellent video for all future and existing system admins. Question are you a Linux, Windows, Os or a jack of all trade admin?
As I am prior military and now a sysad, but my position required travel, depending on his level of compensation, I suspect that would be very appealing to quite a few people.
This is real as it gets lol. I watched some day in the life of a Software engineer I only see few seconds of them coding and the entire minites all i see is them eating and working out lol
Please do make more videos related to Sysadmin daily life jobs related queries and problems and how you resolve that problems what are the stps pleaase do make video on this.
I'm currently taking a diploma in System Administrator, since it is the cheapest course to get an international student visa. Then I try to look up what do sys admin do and after watching this video, I could say this job ain't for me. Pretty boring, I probably apply for an entry level position for a year and take another course.
Do you guys have a full downloadable course to become a Sys Admin? I applied for a System/Security Specialist and next week is my exam. Hoping to pass the exam. I have a deep knowledge in pc troubleshooting and basic network management/troubleshooting but it's all in windows. The position that I am applying requires Linux/Unix based systems
Sorry to hear that. And I agree with Mar Kus, you are definitely not too old to get into IT especially if you have the passion for it. That being said, if you have no experience whatsoever in Tech, you're going to have to spend some time learning and gaining experience. Additionally, it's a field you'll need to keep learning in if you want to progress in it, because new technologies are always coming out. So I would try to road map what a career in IT would look like for you and make sure you're up for it.
I'm sysadmin too, working at home it's very good, using two platforms, Windows and Linux some dba gestor like SQL and Oracle by now I prefer Linux centos v8.0, I heard somebody to say, that centos support expire in 2024, Is that true?
Hi Henok, to become a system administrator what kinda of licenses do you need to have? Also, what kind of experience did you have prior to taking your role?
Hi Gisselle, this is hard to answer because all companies will have different requirements and technologies. I would look up system administrator positions in your area and see what they are looking for. Generally they will look for either a degree or certifications like RHCSA, Network + and more. All these things show that you have the skills needed as a sysadmin which can also be accomplished doing personal projects. My personal experience is a bit different. I started out as an Intern, made my way to an IT Specialist role which worked closely with the system administrators and then I was able to land a system administrator position. Hope this helps!
Hey Giselle, i definitely recommend you get into a Help Desk role. Even getting a basic CompTIA certification would help. I'm s System Admin with no cert but just from experience with my Service Desk role with a big bank. Didnt go to school but have always been pretty tech savvy. But every company has different requirements. I got into a startup company which usually are a little more lenient when it comes to how much experience they are looking for. Hope this helps.
Nah....my life as sys admin is not that boring, the day you showed is so stressed if I would have seen would have never become Sys Admin, its fun man, tune up your life bruh!
I majored in physics and teaching high school math. I am trying to transition out of that job but have something in place. I have been thinking about this same career as yours. I have no idea where to start. Any advice for someone with my background?
Hello, 🙂 I am studying IT networking. Can you please tell me how many Networking professionals are there in your company approximately? and is it a good profession?
no specific videos but NetworkChuck, tutorialLinux, and Chris Titus Tech are some people that I follow on RU-vid. There are loads of videos and tutorials out there as well.
Hello! My spouse just got his certification as an encompass system admin. Do you have any suggestions on where to get started with an employer? All the jobs are asking for 3 years plus experience. He’s been a loan officer for years so he knows encompass well. Thanks in advance!
HI! Im planning to get my AAS in Computer System Network...Im wondering is it worth it? Or is it something you can just learn online or at a bootcamp? Thanks!
Hi ,I just began my career as a system Admin majorly based around microsoft enviroment. Could you please point me in the right direction as to what should be my learning curve?
@@MorningMindfulness Yeah man or go straight into a job that fills you up 😂 how about that? Because even with that you earn money 😂 I mean, do you think he earns so much money with the job he's doing now that he can do what he wants afterwards? 😂 My suggestion: find a job that fulfils you and that you enjoy, turn your hobby into a profession and you'll never have to work again in your life, won't you? :)
@@MorningMindfulness not agree....earning bread should not even be a concern in modern age...all our focus should be on making life awesome..earning bread is first but a very small part of it
i am not sure is this question has been asked, or if the comments can tell me cause this research is so much, what are the certifications you need to transition into tech and the role of system administrator?
Hi Erika, maybe this video will help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ihEPhpKPUU.html If you have zero experience in IT, I would look into HelpDesk and Desktop roles. Certs like the CompTIA A+ or Network+ are ones i've seen mentioned a lot for those roles. Hope that helps!
I think CCNA and network+ will give you very solid foundational knowledge of IT while Azure and AD will get you into the Cloud Career faster. If it was up to me, I would do CCNA and network+ so that I have good foundation but either is a good choice.
What education/certs do you have? The reason I ask is because this looks like an interesting job. I'm about to start working on my A+ cert, then going for IT bachelors at WGU.
Honestly, if your course has certifications do them. Im sys admin for the last 7 years and my biggest regret from college was not doing ccna when i had the option. Also microsoft certifications are a must for most sysadmin roles. Linux certifications are also important if you go into linux sysadmin. Honestly certifications are far more important than hdips.
@@farguc good to know, thank you! I'm actually taking the core 1 A+ exam later this week. Then the core 2 later this month. After that I'll probably go for Network+. What does your typical day look like? I think SysAdmin would be a cool job.
i am Btech computer science student 3rd year, recently i have completed my RHCSA certification and getting more interest in linux is it good to get into system administration, how are the job opportunities in this domain.
So, if I were looking for a job like this on indeed, what would the the job title be System Admin remote work? Can you go over some of the daily / regular skills that you need to perform this type of job? like which applications you are using mostly, windows or linux?
Yes, System Administrator, sysadmin, It administrator, linux sysadmin and any other variation of that. I mainly work with Linux but a little bit of Windows as well. Some common OS/applications I touch are Linux OS, Puppet, Netbackup, Jira, Confluence, Vmware, Gitlab, SGE and more.
Hey! I'll start as a junior linux sysadmin next month. Do you take phone calls to resolve client issues ? I'm asking this because I always panic when I have to speak with strangers on the phone lol. I'm working on it. Your content is great btw. Subscribed.
Congratulations on the job! I don't personally take that much phone calls, but this really depends on the company you're working for. But having worked on the Helpdesk group in the past, I can say that it can be nerve racking to take calls but know that overtime you get comfortable with it. Wishing you the best!
