- deafpolygon 4y agoCorrect, but it's also a common [false] view that sysadmins can't code. Even if I emphasize my limited) experience in code and leave out details about my sysadmin work, I get asked what did I do, etc. "Oh you're a sysadmin" and that's where the conversation ends. But let's gloss over the fact that I can set-up the testing and production environment on my own along with the DB, schema, do the routing, proxy and everything in between. Then, back it all up.
- orwin 4y agoTry to market yourself as a devops. The pay is better than sysadmin, and if you're selective enough, the job can be great for you and your whole skillet. It took me 3 tries to get myself right where I wanted to be but when work doesn't really feel like work despite being at $BigCorp, life is enjoyable.
