Trying to break into tech with RHCSA

newguy3456

I am currently studying for my RHCSA. I'm very interested in Linux and would look forward to using it at work.

Will it be enough to get me a job if not what other certifications should i obtain?

I would like to start as system admin and then later move into becoming an SRE how possible is this in this market?

Look at Linux/UNIX sysadmin job postings (on LinkedIn, Zip Recruiter, Indeed, etc.) and notice what certifications hiring managers are asking for. Red Hat certs for Red Hat environments are great, but what are non-RH shops asking for in their job postings? Probably the LPI certs are the first to consider.

You may need to first get into a company as a different role, such as Help Desk or IT tech support, and then move laterally into sysadmin. The people skills you learn from Help Desk are really appreciated in all departments that require working with " internal customers."
