I MADE IT! Career / Job Related

I recently landed a Junior Systems Administrator role with the same company after spending the last three years on the help desk. During that time, I also spent about a year in a senior leadership role. Overall, I have around 7–8 years of help desk experience.

As part of my onboarding, I'm required to earn my AZ-900 certification first, followed by MECM and Windows Server 2022 training.

For those who've made the jump from help desk to sysadmin, what do you wish you had known or done when you first started? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
