My main career is supposed to be as a team lead in mechanical engineering. Through a lot of unfortunate event I became a full time Python Dev at my last job which I quitted due to lack of recognition. Through similar events I'm now the "official" sysadmin for two companies. Here's the thing, I love doing sysadmin work, went and got my rhel certs, built a homelab, all that stuff. I'm a Linux nerd to the bone. But FML I'm now stuck rebuilding two whole ecosystems built on top of hyper-v and active directory. I like my job in a sense but I also hate that I'm now stuck being paid in line with the mechanical engineering field while working more on the IT side. Working on my CS degree rn.
