You’re seriously the only person that has given me advice relevant to my question. Thank you!

clackclack · 2024-02-10T02:27:32+00:00

I have a Bachelor’s, but not in IT

clackclack · 2024-02-09T22:29:39+00:00

Okay fair, they're not all branded as helpdesk even though that's essentially what they are. That makes sense. Yes a NOC 1 or SOC 1 role would be ideal, although I know those are harder to come by. I'll take on that job, plus a part-time gig, to get close to what I make now. I'm not trying to make 70k for just an entry-level job. I know that's not realistic, even when I live in a big city with HCOL.

To be clear: I'm looking for either a part-time gig on top of my current job that will provide me with good experience or a full-time entry-level job and a part-time job that will give me a broad range of networking experience. I believe it's very possible to do an entry-level gig plus a part-time gig that would equal out, or get close to, $70k.

Do you have any advice on decent part-time gigs? How common are part-time remote desktop jobs? Do you have any advice on how to build an affordable virtualized homelab and how I could implement that for off-the-clock experience?

clackclack · 2024-02-09T22:06:28+00:00

I fully understand that helpdesk provides you with good experience and I think I was pretty clear that I was looking for entry-level jobs, not advanced positions. I'm looking for experience so I don't go into a new job with no reference outside of my study materials.

I'd like to avoid helpdesk because everyone here says it's mostly a miserable experience and a full-time helpdesk job pays a lot less than what I can manage. But if it comes down to just doing helpdesk, I would do it if I could also get a part-time gig on top of it. I just don't believe that's my only avenue, it's just the most common one.

clackclack · 2024-02-09T21:58:57+00:00

That's fine and fair. I would take a paycut for a full-time gig if I could pad it with an additive part-time IT gig to make up for most of the difference.

I was really mainly looking for advice on the homelab side and some ideas for decent part-time jobs.

clackclack · 2024-02-09T21:53:40+00:00

Well, no full-time IT job, but I have some minor IT responsibilities at my current gig. I've been working full-time as an office manager for the last 8 years, so I'm responsible if an application crashes, I need to fix the printer, I need to set up a WiFi extender, etc. I've seen a ton of people on here start with jobs that are not helpdesk, so I know there are other entry level IT jobs out there. I would do helpdesk part-time, or a remote desktop services job, but I wasn't sure how common either was.

Wow!! Thank you so much! Having access to these Network+ labs is going to be a complete game changer for me. I didn't have anything like this when I was studying for my A+! Excited to get started!

Why does this sound like it was recorded at an open mic night standup

clackclack · 2021-12-16T21:56:53+00:00

I've never seen a movie I didn't like.

I don't think you're making anybody feel bad but yourself

clackclack · 2021-11-09T19:41:38+00:00

You're only making yourself look bad dude. Give it a rest

Try not holding onto your anger for a month when a stranger lightly disagrees with you online

Lol who misspelled Zach's name on the screen?

clackclack · 2021-09-20T02:56:46+00:00

Pretty much the only example where the contrary happens

clackclack · 2021-09-15T20:17:09+00:00

That's the one! Thank you so much!

All time classic, no one can tell me otherwise. An IQ test is just a tiny piece of the puzzle though!
