#2 and #3 in “reasons why I left” is sooo true for many Sys Engineers. I think we get into Sys Engr thinking “wow! Servers, virtualization, scripting, programming, little bit of networking, data centers.” And then 1 year in you realize...it’s the same thing day after day and you get bored. You hit a learning wall and I think this is the main reason why Sys Engrs jump around a ton.
That took some courage man! Glad to see you went through with it to keep growing your own knowledge! Watching y’all’s videos gets me excited for my future! Gl with the new job and hopefully it’s everything u wanted my dude
Well spoken man. I feel like I'm in a very similar position with my current job. Love the team, but I'm capped out and need a new challenge. Sent my resume in, thanks in advance it's much appreciated
+1 thank you for sharing your experience man, now I'm thing what do I really want. I enjoy my job but I also need to grow but a bit scared to go outside the box.
Arvin Vernon Rivera I know exactly how you feel. But it’s good that you are now at least thinking about it. It’s possible that your job could still allow growth so that’s something else to explore.
Very informative! Your reasons for leaving are understandable. Currently I am dealing with your 3rd reason for leaving but I am doing some additional career development so I can advance my career in IT. All the best at your new job!
It really depends on what you want to do within IT. If you are preparing for something like Helpdesk you can get a few cheap refurbished windows computers and mess around with them. If you are going to power intensive things you may want to get a Dell XPS or HP Spectre if you want to be on the windows side or a good ole MacBook Air or Pro
What was the common tools u used as a NOC Analyst? Right now I'm learning security onion, Splunk, and Wireshark. Also doing a ethical hacking Linux course.
wow this mirrors what I did left a good sys admin job in company I was in for 11 years ,it was tough but all i was doing was cashing a cheque I know sys admins want there networks to run smoothly, It just fely like was baby sitting a network like groundhog day. Got so boring i was picking up helpdesk tickets
I'm starting to feel like #2 & #3. My job isn't that hard and the pay is fair, but sometimes I don't feel like we utilize newer technology. I read about it all the time in my study books, but it's not the same has hands on.
Great video. So as someone looking to make the transition into the IT field (with no college degree) what would you recommend I should do to land my first role? Either as a helpdesk or junior level position
Funny you ask this as we should have a video dropping soon that is related to this topic. Any who I recommend watching a lot of free youtube videos on topics like "Things all IT professionals should know", "Basic IT troubleshooting", "IT support training" and similar topics. Basically you should be able to learn everything you need for free without paying for a course.
PushToProd I'll keep an eye out for that notification when the new video comes out. Do you guys offer any personal resume tips to help land that first role?
Starting out Network may get paid more but when it comes to growth I believe systems is the way to go. It can transition into many other things like SRE, DevOps, Cloud and more
Appreciate the content from you guys! Is there any way for us to connect with you guys outside of youtube? I sent my resume in for a review, I'd appreciate any insight you guys can offer!
Man you sound like me. Well maybe I should start looking at another job haha. Nah my job is ok I just feel like it's as much as I can learn from here at the moment. Pay isn't up to the national average and I kinda need that money to start a family. If any of you are religious please pray for me:)

I had a habit of staying in places way too long. It can really kill your learning and your value on the market.
Thank you for sharing. I am half-way through completing my CyberSecurity degree.
