If you don't want to go for network plus then don't, but you still need to know that information.
I don't have networking experience. I'm still in the desktop support stage of my career plan. But I'm saying that you can just study the networking and not go for the cert, if you don't want to or if you can get a help desk role without it.not trying to avoid Networking concepts because it intersects with everything in IT
I just find the learning material a bit underwhelming and confusing and I just want to get the biggest return on my investment even if it is a free voucher.
you got experience in networking?
I always have trouble knowing when to bail out. I remember 2 jobs ago, my manager left after I was only there for 2 months. I was good with computers, but I needed formal training. I had 2 more managers over the 9 more months I was at that job. That was over 2 years ago and I still regret not jumping ship sooner.Man I think some layoffs finna pop off at a gig I just started![]()

I totally worded that post wrong. I was there for 13 months when I should've left after 3. After my original manager left, they took months to communicate who I would be reporting to. Then they put me under a solutions architect director, who had no time/interest for me. My posiition was desktop support and he was more interested in interacting with the engineers.you only stayed 9 months? I assume you left on your own terms or you got let go/laid off?
coming from a warehouse background I have the same experience as you except I reached a point where I would jump ship in a heart beat if I seen the shytstorm coming. Too many bad experiences made me become privy to corporate BS. And nah my g you wasnt really rambling lol, I tend to do that shyt alot myself so you good.I totally worded that post wrong.

By the end of it, my manager was the HR manager and she would twist things I said and use it against me later. I was let go not long after. I didn't mean to ramble on. That was a couple years back. Sometimes you gotta know when to bail out.
You are going to need EXPERIENCE working in a Windows Active Directory group.Anybody thats been down the System Admin path. what the certs and hard skills i need to become good at in the event somebody decides to give me that big break. I wanna be prepared.
Also im not feeling this Net + bullshyt, I been studying from sun up to sun down and the shyt is just an unnecessarily convoluted version of the A+
Because it covers the same fundamental networking stuff covered in A+ just to a more pedantic degree. shyt is built for pure memorization clearly because there's no meat and potatoes. At least A+ had tons of stuff I was interested in like Migration, Remote Assistance/Desktop, Imaging, System back-ups, Scheduling tasks, and NTFS permissions. I can see why this cert is considered the gold standard for entry level because it covers alot hardware-wise but keeps my attention.
Im thinking bout dropping Net+ and reapplying my voucher towards Sec+, ICND1, or ITIL
Need advice on which one should I pursue,
Short-term I wanna secure a Desktop Support role,
Long-term im trying to become SysAdmin, dont care if my 1st role underpays me i just need expereince, I just need someone to point me in the right direction as far as relevant certs and skills, I already know PowerShell is a must have since it can automate task according to BDIZZLE and a few others what else is there though.
By the way I just got contacted about a 6 week Desktop project that seems like it will put me on the right trajectory im trying to go which is
Desktop----> Jr. Sys Admin------> System Admin----------> System Engineer/Security Analyst (?)
Thanks in advance to anybody thats got some gems for me because Googling can sometimes be a minefield of bullshyt to wade through

What do you guys say when an interview as you to tell them the most difficult technical problem you've encountered?
I've seen these types of job listings before. I don't understand them at all.system admin is weird. some companies are trippin when it comes to what they expect from their system admin. i've seen job postings asking for MCSA, CCNA, knowledge in powershell, bash, python, javascript and the pay is 60kmy friend is a level 2 desktop support tech and is making 65k with a 5% COLA every year. i tell these companies to fukk off if the offer is shyt for what they demand.
network+ is a good intro to networking but i tell ppl to just start their ccent. it covers the network+ and a lot more in regards to networking.

i recommend you study ICND1 and 70-740, 70-741, 70-742. that'll give you a good foundation for networking and windows.
Damn. Thx for the confrimation that im doing the right thing breh. That's the way I planned to take the exam in that exact order except I was going to gon head and get the full CCNA since i'll be coming right off the Network+ going right into CCENT. Might as well round it off with the CCNA and get it behind me then on to MCSA Server 2016.
I tried to bail on the Net+ for security+ but it looks like im stuck with Net+ since the voucher has already been redeemed. Just gonna rambo this shyt for 5-6 weeks.
Also I see alot of articles saying Linux, and powershell are good skills to have. What's a good linux cert? and does the Server 2016 coer alot of powershell. I really wanna get this automation stuff down.
Again Thanks bruh.
Since I got the A+ shyt has been on the upswing, I definitly wanna stay on the desktop side of things til i get my skillset on point , That shyt has me genuinely interested.
i don't know much about linux so i couldn't tell you. but server 2016 does cover a lot of powershell. MCSA in general will include powershell for most tasks so you'll definitely get a good taste of it.
you are on the right path imo. i started off the same by getting my A+ and Network+ then finished my ICND1 and studied for the CCNA and occasionally read up on MCSA but ended up stopping because of work and life. if you keep keep progressing in your position and learning then you'll get that system admin job in like 3-5 years. i'm in a system admin role now after 4 years.
the thing i tell people is you gotta make sure you keep learning on the job. in those 4 years i worked for two companies because after 1.5-2 years i felt like i hit the ceiling and wasn't learning much on the job.
Finishing up 902 of my A+ Dec. 8th
Then starting my studying for my CCENT.
Oh yeah. My company is paying for me to get my Bacholars in IT. While I'm working full-time for them.
It's going down here. I'm just making it to where these Cacs cant say know when I go for an IT job.
Gotta be extra good being black.
