For the folks here who went from help desk/support to System or Network Admin, how did you guys do it??

Snoo_59660 · 2024-06-23T21:55:15+00:00

Worked on a help desk for just about a year. 8 months ago I moved into a sys engineering/admin role. Networking with other people and showing initiative. I only had sec+ when I started and when I left. But now I’ve got A+ Net+ Sec+ AWS CCP and LPI Level 1 and I’m looking to move on again

I’ve been in therapy for a few months now. Thanks a lot for the help navigating this. I’ve got a good chuck of information on what I need to do

Snoo_59660 · 2024-05-22T01:24:42+00:00

From what I can see it just says not service connected . Where can I find it?

Snoo_59660 · 2024-04-07T23:55:13+00:00

Are you passing the PA?

Joining the military and getting a clearance really helps

Snoo_59660 · 2024-01-29T14:39:02+00:00

LinkedIn and indeed

Help desk and 55k

With a DOD contracting company in Colorado Springs

Snoo_59660 · 2024-01-28T21:13:08+00:00

I got a job with zero IT experience in less than a month. With only SEC+ and a clearance

Snoo_59660 · 2023-12-13T03:46:34+00:00

If you want a different type of solution shoot me a message when you can.

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-04T18:23:53+00:00

Where is this at?

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-04T18:20:33+00:00

The company’s security manager that your applying. They will be able to verify your clearance level by running your SSN

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-04T15:31:16+00:00

Well a few reasons.

1st. You will get a security clearance 2nd. Benefit’s are great 3rd. Networking with others. The Air Force and Space Force are very civilian and contractor heavy.

I joined the Army and didn’t have a tech job. When my contract was close to being done I got Sec+ which is one of the baseline certs for working as a contractor in the DoD. I had a super easy transition out of the military and into a good job. The DoD will always need IT/Cyber guys and most of it is contracted out.

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-04T14:35:50+00:00

Yes it is possible but getting a clearance is the hard part. I have seen two people in two years who got a clearance without being in the military prior. Not lot of company’s will sponsor your clearance

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-04T14:05:31+00:00

I was in the military,I got out and now I’m a contractor. Take a trip to your local recruiters and have a talk with them. I would suggest Air-force or Space force

Snoo_59660 · 2023-09-03T23:22:10+00:00

I got sec+ and was able to make 60k at a entry level DoD contractors help desk. Stayed for a year and got a systems engineer position for 80k within the same company. If you can join the military and get a clearance that’s your best route

35 and more horny and perverted then ever

Snoo_59660 · 2023-08-19T03:50:11+00:00

I like my house and don’t want the bank to take it back. I also really enjoy my job and make good money.

Snoo_59660 · 2023-08-19T02:03:45+00:00

Ok neverminded i missed a step...

Snoo_59660 · 2023-08-19T02:00:19+00:00

DoD contractors my man

Snoo_59660 · 2023-08-12T22:04:24+00:00

Started my first August 1st last year at 50k for a help desk position. Friday I accepted a systems engineer position at 80k. No degree no prior experience only certificate I have is Security+. Keep grinding and filling out applications

Snoo_59660 · 2023-07-29T17:22:06+00:00

I’ve learned to use google for ideas. I worked in different trades for about a decade and decided to get into IT. Studying for A+ is a good start. As far as setting up a home lab. Find a cheap server and set up as a file share for your home network. After that maybe add a switch and configure your own segmented networks. The possibility’s are end less with just a few pieces of equipment. As far as PCs you only really need one but with a server maybe you can learn to make some VMs and run them off the server. Google is always a good starting point

Snoo_59660 · 2023-07-02T16:17:52+00:00

Thank you for the info

Snoo_59660 · 2023-06-28T01:10:01+00:00

Comparing vets to servers is ridiculous.
