How Did You Handle Feeling Overwhelmed When You Started as a SysAdmin?

First day as a Windows admin felt like a disaster, but switching to Linux was like finding a unicorn. It's all about the right environment!

I remember my first day, and it was wild. I walked in, and right away someone asked if I was the IT guy and told me the file server was down. Talk about a dumpster fire! It took my teammate and me about two years to fix everything. Just take it one day at a time, stay organized, prioritize tasks, and don’t hesitate to ask questions and take notes.

Wow, my transition from Helpdesk to sysadmin was a breeze compared to what you’re describing. Just keep at it, and you'll gain that experience over time!

Yeah, that’s typical for MSPs! Learn what you can, and plan your escape. They can really drain your energy over time.

I’ve been in tech for over 20 years. Just the other day, I logged into a Mac for the first time in forever, and wow, it was humbling! Success in this field takes lifelong learning. Some days you’ll feel like a hero; other days it’s just survival. Work on setting boundaries and trust yourself and your coworkers; it makes all the difference!
