Just as a counter-point, my fiance moved from paralegal to BI/entry-level DBA fairly easily. She has decent computer knowledge, but I would have in no way categorized her as "IT". She started off assisting IT with a case management software rollout, acting as the liaison between the legal side and the tech side. They liked her so much they brought her in to do the training and admining for the case management software. From there it was an easy transition into BI reports. From there she was exposed to the DBA side of things. Now she is branching out to do BI/DBA for other apps.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:Definitely PluralSight - I find that they're releasing videos which I'd consider more advanced. Whereas CBT Nuggets will give you a nice "this is what I need for my cert" video, so you can go search for like 70-412 and find something, you're going to find that 80% of the video is poo poo that everyone already knows. Oh wow that's a PTR record? Thanks I'm home free on my MCSE... I thought PluralSight was garbage. The videos and the exam materials for 70-410 were a loving joke. It did not even come close to preparing you.

Keep trying, you'll get there. The field is rife with people who have no clue what they're doing, it can't be too hard to break in.  If you don't have it already, might be a good idea to put some sort of portfolio together? Use some open source datasets to do some neat things. Maybe even contribute to some open source data projects? Oh, and in case you're not already doing it, apply anyways. Apply to literally everything that sounds like you'd want to do, regardless of the experience they are asking in the job posting. That stuff doesn't mean anything. Don't get discouraged if you don't hear back, it's just a numbers game.

unbutthurtable posted:I don't know what Microsoft calls their server admin certs anymore, but it's probably something like MCSA or whatever. Microsoft is doing some really interesting stuff in the endpoint space, at least in my opinion. Worth checking out their "Managing Modern Desktop" stuff if you've got your foot in the door and are looking for the next level, but trying to stay with something familiar. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/md-101

Actuarial Fables posted:Completed the last course for my bachelor's degree at WGU today. Didn't think I'd ever graduate from a university, but here we are. That's really awesome. You should be immensely proud of yourself. I never finished college and there's no way I'd try at this point, so I can only imagine how great that feels. Congrats.

Lets Get Patchy posted:Speaking of AWS, I'm coming from on prem infrastructure and private cloud. Started studying the AWS cert path to get with the times, and I'm super impressed with the overall flexibility with the infrastructure engineering/administration options. For those that work exclusively with Azure/AWS/GCP, is this all smoke and mirrors? It's not effortless, but it sure as gently caress beats on prem. My current place and all their engineers are gung ho about on prem and it makes me miserable. Internet Explorer fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jan 12, 2022 |

Like, I am in the middle of a project where the whole tech department is waiting on baited breath for me to prove that VDIs can perform well in the cloud. Not worried about data locality issues, not worried about cost. Literally not convinced that a VDI can perform as well in a public cloud as it can in vSphere.

I'm well aware of all that. And yes, that's what I meant by data locality issues.

Devorum posted:I've seen WGU, but was wary of it being just an online diploma mill scam. Good to hear people are actually succeeding with their degrees. I think they only offer classes to people stateside, though, and I'm currently overseas. They're very well regarded in SH/SC, as far as I can tell.
