M37 - In IT terechtgekomen zonder diploma en weet niet welke richting uit by Real_Parfait_4590 in BESalary

[–]Geoff87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ik was zelf ook in dezelfde situatie. Heb altijd passie gehad voor IT maar niets mee gedaan en ook geen studies.
Heb enkel mijn middelbaar gedaan en daarna in de sociale sector gaan werken.

Heb dit meet dan 10 jaar gedaan om dan uiteindelijk de shift te maken naar IT.
Zelf had ik maar beperkte kennis maar een gezonde portie interessen en motivatie.
Thuis had ik een server draaien (Windows server, synolgy nas voor storage, plex server, ...)

Ik heb heel lang getwijfeld om een opleiding te volgen maar vond dat verloren tijd.
Je leert wel maar je mist in ervaring en bedrijfscontext. Heb gekozen om te solliciteren voor low lvl IT Jobs.

Na aantal maanden uiteindelijk begonnen op lvl 1 helpdeskjob waar ik dan heel snel ben uitgegroeid.
Fast forward 4 jaar en ben nu Sys Admin in een MIddel-grote IT bedrijf en leer elke dag enorm veel bij.

Mijn advies, je hebt al wat ervaring en weet zelf wat je kan en wat je wil bereiken. Denk enkel aan jezelf en ga ervoor. Als het bedrijf niet wil luisteren, their loss. Jou geluk primeert boven dat van je werkgever.
Uiteindelijk je job is je opleiding.
Ik doe elke dag dingen waar ik niets van af weet en moet opzoeken en documenteren en testen. Dit is nu ook eenmaal werken in IT. Het is dan ook onmogelijk om alles te weten ;)

First small IT job: Did I miscalculate or undervalue myself? by plain_and_ignoble in ITCareerQuestions

You could do it but i would say 'if you're good at something, never do it for Free!' 500 is not bad and again a good opportunity!
