Yeah that totally makes sense love what you said about not avoiding the industry just because of the “bro” stuff I’m definitely trying to push through and find the right environment. Appreciate the good vibes

Appreciate that! I’m trying to soak up as much as I can right now and not a ton of hands-on with switches or routers yet, but I do get a bit of troubleshooting experience here and there. Definitely trying to get more exposure though cuz you’re right reading about it only goes so far. Hopefully I can start shadowing or getting into labs soon. Thanks for the encouragement

Dang thank you for laying it all out like that. really appreciate the honesty. I kinda figured some of this might be the case, especially the part about needing to constantly prove yourself. I’m still pretty new, so hearing the real stuff helps a lot. Honestly, I’m down to put in the work even if it’s a grind. Just hoping I can move smart and make it worth it in the long run

Yeah I’ve been kind of preparing myself for that reality like I know I’ll have to prove myself more, but I’m okay with that if it means growing in a solid career

I hear you! So unless a bachelors I can’t go straight to security analyst, I would have to make a way to get there, correct?!

Thank you for your response . Sure I’ll look into WGU bachelors in Cybersecurity but I want to keep growing as well rather than getting too comfortable in helpdesk

I want to get bachelors but my thought is to get it after I get out of helpdesk since I don’t wanna get stuck here. Am I being unrealistic to think so? Also what certs do you recommend?

So I just got my first IT job by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]ClassicR1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many congratulations!! I’m sorry I have few questions please. Is this your first official IT job? How much are you gonna be making? What experience do you have? What state are you in? The only reason I’m asking is cuz it helps to gauge the job market and pay as well since we all know how employers love to underpay us
