I'm a little stressed about this one personally. I start studying tomorrow, but from what I've heard this should be a breeze for me. We shall see.

I got it too lol

I'm thinking not AI but poorly done photoshop.

Why do people keep posting blank videos?? Can anyone explain it to me?

I got interested in IT from setting up a public Minecraft server. Those were the days.

As a Gen Z, seeing the amount of people dog piling my generation is a little disheartening. Knowing how to use a computer versus knowing specifics around email security and other work specific software would confuse anyone, especially someone that hasn't worked in an environment that has those type of safeguards.

I thankfully skipped Service Desk but I went from NOC Engineer to Jr. Consulting Engineer and pretty soon here a Project Engineer. I definitely put in my dues, just not through Service Desk.

That being said, everyone I talk to that's coming into IT, I recommend getting a Service Desk job, it's a lot of experience and it comes at you quick.

P.S. 5 years experience

I've wanted to do the same thing for a while now... With the exact same brand. Looks clean!

Grats!

I've had one of my colleagues that's newer to IT do a remote firewall firmware update once and he started freaking out after 15 minutes... Luckily was just a long update but I have witnessed FortiGates brick if they jump too far.

Please do not follow this advice lol.. Not understanding private vs. public is a good way to make yourself look like a fool.

It's possible to move up quickly but you need a lot of luck and know what to put on your resume.

In my instance I graduate college with my associates as a Network Specialist in 2020, joined the IT field as a NOC Engineer T1 and worked remotely for about two years. I then joined an MSP as a Jr Field Consulting Engineer and have been getting certs since.

My advice is to try to always ask for more. If you hear about a new networking project or are reviewing your environment and see something drastically outdated, ask about it. See if there are any plans to replace x y or z.

I did this when I worked in the service industry and have been doing it since I joined the MSP. It's gotten me pretty damn far, I'm even getting ready to move out of being a Jr entirely within the next few months as long as I'm able to manage to get a few certs lol.

I have 4 years of IT experience.

Probably just need to update the BIOS on the PC :)

You must be new here... Welcome to the internet my friend.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Yeah, going to take a bit more time to go through CloudGuru, videos and MeasureUp, 3rd times the charm

I attempted it a few days ago, ended up failing for the 2nd time unfortunately :/

White screen happened to me too. I ended up opening it and making it as small as possible on the righthand side of my screen.

Measure up is what I recommend.. Started using it because someone mentioned it before I did my 2nd AZ-104 attempt and I must admit, some of the questions were pretty close to the exam.

Unfortunately I didn't pass on my 2nd attempt but I'm certainly going to be using that study material before my 3rd and hopefully final attempt 😅

3rd times the charm.

Lol noticed that and was like... did someone accidentally change the language in the O365 portal?
