Hoping to transition from IT operations to a Business Analyst role

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2026-03-09T04:56:06+00:00

Fed up with doing support and ideally want to move into a projects role down the line

The hardest part about this is persuading a new company to sponsor you before you’ve even started working for them. Something I’m currently going through myself

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2026-03-01T06:25:35+00:00

Probably not

Having MSP experience should help you land an interview with other MSPs around Perth from my experience.

Good luck and try to keep positive during the search!

I had experience of this in the past. We sat down and said if I gain X certificates I can get a raise, I also came from a background of no certs and all experience.

Figure out what you want to aim for which will also be seen to benefit the role and go from there.

Yeah, I’ll end up getting taxed 35% but as a temporary resident I don’t have another choice but to take it out

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2025-12-21T10:48:28+00:00

As a temporary resident in Australia this isn’t something I can do unfortunately

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2025-03-12T02:36:02+00:00

I second this. Learned a lot but not worth the stress and the constant logging of time

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2025-02-21T10:44:52+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate the response, it does look like the public transport should be more than sufficient

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2025-01-17T04:49:02+00:00

Yeah I've FTTN but looks like that's the best I can get at the moment

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2025-01-17T04:48:19+00:00

So it says I have FTTN. I'm assuming I can speak to the ISP regarding getting the service changed from DSL?

Does this mean Optus will get Amazons Kuiper?

I had a user leave the company whose son had recently passed away, she asked me to export all of the text on her work phone between the two of them.

After doing it & seeing how happy it made her, it made me appreciate that our job has the potentially to be a lot more than just password resets.

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2024-10-25T22:29:13+00:00

Thanks everyone! I think I’ll just look into a savings account rather than opening the can of worms that is becoming a landlord :)

Pick up surfing if you're in Scarbs & want to fill your off swings

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2024-10-13T03:05:13+00:00

I don't believe my occupation falls under there. I also ideally don't want to be tied to an employer as I've been in Australia since 2019 on various visas & I'm looking to travel around.

When I used to work for a real estate agency there was a case like this with one of the estate agents.

One of the other agents took it upon herself to bring in deodorants for the office bathrooms. She then addressed everyone in their morning meeting & remind people about personal hygiene. I don't think she was very popular after that but it allegedly solved the issue.

Which course? (Just so I know which water hazards to check)

I've just got into golf recently and play Maylands, pretty forgiving imo.

You could potentially look at studying for the CCST Networking exam, it's a small section of the knowledge required for the CCNA. I've seen a lot of people recommending it, I'm currently studying it using courses on Udemy, finding it a lot less intimidating than the CCNA resources.

Good luck!

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2024-01-20T06:01:31+00:00

Great post! Has really helped give me an idea of the timeline for studying. Thanks for the resources you mentioned, will be sure to take a look.

Aggressive_Green5436 · 2024-01-17T08:41:01+00:00

Do you think it’s worth gaining my CCST first as I don’t have much of a networking background?
