I'm gearing up for an L2 interview with a multinational company next week, and I've recently completed my RHCSA certification. I'm curious whether the skills I've gained from RHCSA are sufficient for the interview. What specific topics should I make sure to study before the interview? Also, how important is knowledge of Ansible for this role? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

RHCSA gives you a good base, but for an L2 position, you should expand your skills. Focus on advanced system administration tasks, troubleshooting methodologies, and possibly Ansible, since it's becoming more prevalent in Linux roles. Make sure you understand the concepts behind troubleshooting—like what questions to ask and steps to take when resolving issues. Confidence in practical scenarios can also really impress interviewers!
It really depends on the job posting! I've always found that the requirements listed in the job description are a solid guide for what to prepare. If Ansible is mentioned, definitely brush up on it, as some companies heavily use different configuration management tools. Without knowing what the specific role entails, it's tricky to give more detailed advice, but real-world experience does matter!
What kind of practical scenarios should I focus on? Any tips on how to practice effectively?
