Entry-Level Interview Questions
• Entry-Level IT/Network... - Věda a technologie
1. Entry level help desk $22 an hour
2. Networking. She didn't negotiate the $90k job and asked for only $70k
3. Cloud support role $37.50 an hour
thanks for the .summary.so the cloud support role is her last role?
Damn I must be doing something wrong... $22/hour for entry level help desk?! I'm a Jr sysadmin for a theatre organization (medium size) and I make $18.50/hour. I know I can make more in O&G, energy, or healthcare industries but I'm very comfortable where I'm at with my coworkers and the relaxing culture. Also, I usually have a lot of free time to study for certs, which I'm trying to do these days.
@@Cam_B My son graduated with a bachelor in computer science and he is entry level help desk. He said he gets paid $20 per hour. I am in Chicago. Maybe the wage depends on location.
I work in investment banking as an administrative assistant. I have been at the same company for 21 years and I get $30. The $30 is due to high turnover and I have to do multiple jobs, so not just 1 job. I am constantly doing work outside my job all over the company. I work in all departments. Also I get $30 because I am the only person who knows how to use all the technology. The older people are afraid of technology where I work. Most of them relied on rotary phones back in the day.
I am in school for cybersecurity. I believe I can get $50-$100 per hour with cybersecurity, especially since all these breaches keep happening.
@@Cam_B Keep going. You are going to eventually get way more than what you are making now. 😉😊
@@Theinsomniac826 Thanks! I'm working on it :) I'm starting from scratch and studying for A+ since I never got one and at the same time I'm studying for Azure fundamentals cert since it's free on Microsoft's website. Eventually, I plan on getting a CCNA and a Linux+ to become a network engineer. My goal is to work remotely and eventually get my CCNP. It really depends if I decide to go the cloud engineering route, but either way I figure these certs are a very good path to have options. Good luck on your cybersecurity path! I know that's going to be a tough one, since I believe you have to know pretty much everything (networking, programming, security, etc). You can do it! Quick question, are you in a community college, University, or a technical college for the cybersecurity route? I thought about going to one of those for my network engineering path, but it's hard to find teachers for community college and universities for that, in my area at least. Most of the forums I've read online seem to lead towards self-study.
you have OFFICIALLY became my favorite IT youtuber ! I can tell that you are genuinely trying to give information and welcome us with open arms . it seriously gives me so much confidence after watching your videos because they are so entertaining yet so informative. you always shed a personal light on IT which is why i love you so much
Wow! thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you are getting something out the videos
I want to have a career in Networking and I have two years of school left. Your channel is the inspiration I needed. Thank you.
Good luck in school!
The only reason I loved networking is because I had to connect two PCs via LAN so I can play with my brother the same game. Internet didn't reach us back then.
Man!! So true about the negotiating your salary. I definitely shot myself in the foot going thru a contractor and not negotiating prior as well. Great video and thanks for being so transparent!
Hey, good to see a tech person talking about their journey. For me Networking is something extraordinarily I have never tried beyond troubleshooting 😀 . All the best
You are amazing. Thank you for telling your experience. Specially the salary negotiation part is so important and have heard many people sell themselves short.
Oh this was some powerful real talk! Loved hearing about the highs and lows. Incredibly relatable I have to admit
Definitely been there with not wanting to talk on the phone lol. And that’s hard right.. they pay well, yet you know it’s not for you, tough choices but you made the right choice xx
I originally went to school for Advertising and worked in Marketing for a few years, and I ended up in a tier 1 end-user role. I'm grateful, but I worked as a first responder before, and I despise talking to folks on the phone. My support position started off fairly well, but I'm looking to go the NE route and then security. I rather not talk to people. I feel what you're saying to my core. Now I just gotta get these certs under my belt.
Sis, love the vids! The energy you give is real! Humor makes everything light.
Wooo those phone calls are not fun lol study hard and get that knowledge we need more people wanting to get into networking :) Glad you are enjoying the videos
You spoke on something my father mentioned years ago as a former Government Employee. Many people get in and are clueless and hide in the system making GREAT MONEY and don't know squat. Yet they have the time, money and resources to learn the job. Plus it's difficult to fire them so they sit back and chill - and have the nerve to have an ego.
Thank you so much for all of the information. I'm looking forward to learning more about this. 😊
Thanks for sharing knowledge on how the numbers are ran in IT. Transitioning from the military, the service members I've known leveraged their security-clearance status to negotiate top pay w/ the highest-paying contracting firms. I'm not sure if you had that luxury, but I sure wish I did.
This was super interesting, I've not had much experience with network engineers but I have learnt a lot from your video. Thanks :)
I'm in my first job as Monitoring Engineer in a NOC. This is my second week and Im really loving it. Your videos make me feel more confident about this career. In my last job I worked as a Software Developer
What's your pay and day to day like?
Omg, I'm the same as u, I FKING HATE being in a support role, even though I'm one now..... I was actually considering quitting and venture into networking, but I was scared it will just be another support major field. After watching your videos, I realized there's more position which aren't support, and it really helps! Thanks a lot for the great content!
Just subrcribed! I've worked as a data center tech for almost 6 years at a large company in dallas. Started my network support role with the same company this week and feel blessed to be starting off at 77k. Keep on grindin!
That is awesome! That's a great start for support
Cool vibes on tour page, 💘 the easy going convo and as I get started in this field I will use your advise.
Exactly what I needed to hear!
Thanks for the vids!! I just found your channel while researching which step to take next. It’s nice to see a lady out here grindinn. I’m looking for a way out of my current retail tech sales position.. think comptia itf is a good first step?
This is great. Too many IT admins/engineers devalue their skillset and companies are always willing to take advantage of it and their talent. What's worse is that in the MSP field, companies charge crazy labor fees for talent that in most cases they do little to help employees acquire, yet pay the engineer 1/5 of what they get. I work as a Sr. Systems Engineer, while not super strong at networking, I serve as a jack of all trades engineer working on and implementing Virtualized Servers, Firewalls, Networking and wireless. While I have years of experience, my lack of knowing my skillset worth has a friend that I mentored making 15k more with desktop support skills, while I'm implementing infrastructure for SMB businesses and working on enterprise tech. While I'm prepping to make a new move due to my current job lying to me as well, it's good to see more engineers putting this out there to help us get what we deserve. Thanks for the great content.
What took me sooo long to find this channel??😍😍
You kept my attention the WHOLE VIDEO. Great job 👏👍
I'm gladdddd😁
Them expression you do be cracking me up. 🥴🤪
Hey thx for making this video! I'm also in the mid west and I just secured a Network Developer internship doing DevOps style stuff with cisco and automation (super nervous but excited). If this job goes well it will be the most I've made yet; a significant upgrade from where I was working in basically help desk.
Good luckk
@@certifiedcurls Thanks! I'll need it hah.
I feelllll you on the support jobs.
Great video! I know since transitioned, you have a clearance. Have you thought about DoD contracting?
Disregard. I watched the other videos! I’m happy for you, congratulations!
I woupe love to know about thie more the networking thing seems like yku had a good turn 😊
Thank you for posting this👍🏾👍🏾
i can tell you that support pays you well if you do support for enterprise companies like Cisco Palo Alto Networks, etc. They will pay you 6 figures. However the tickets are not easy. It usually takes an hour to troubleshoot with a customer because the complexity of the customer environment
It is crazy you released this video today because just earlier today I was saying I would like to know what the industry pays. I have been studying for my CCNA for a while now and need some motivation because the subjects are overwhelming at times. So thank you for reading my mind. Also, could you do a video about how much diversity you have seen in networking roles, as a black woman I would like to know.
I'm so glad I was able to out this out 😁 and sure I can for sure do more ok diversity
Thank you for giving the information.
My brother in law makes 99k a yr and he has no college degree yet his friends who has a degree are getting paid less than him. Confusing!
I've completed my CCNA and CCNP in R&S
In India the average salary is 25k INR per month.
Very less. (Coz of competition)
Planning to complete my CCIE certification and moved to different country.
(BTW I'm brother of this username)
@@chefnusratkitchen3202 You can still move out. I'd recommend don't wait for ccie. I got my CCNA early this year.
DONT GO TO COLLEGE
IT is a career that has a lot of potential and movement that you can maneuver if the timing is there. Voice, R/S, Security, Service Provider, IT Management, and Datacenter without a need to get a degree like other careers like the health field.
Certs>degree for sure but if you job is paying for education don’t leave money on the table.
Great personality, funny, and very easy on the eyes...subbed
Question, so between going from help desk to networking to cloud, did you get a certificate for each job? Also, did each job have any sort of job training? Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Omg yesssss! I am with you on the support positions and answering phones !!! I am not here for ittttt. I moved from the east coast to Dallas because the salary and opportunities were wayyyy better out here for IT ! Love your videos girl ! Do you think you will stay on the networking side of IT ?
Haha that was my reason for relocating to Dallas too! Honestly, I do think I'm gonna stay on the networking side of things at least for a while. I enjoy it and there isn't another path that I am really interested in. That could change in the future though lol
@@certifiedcurls I know this is late but do you have any reason why you like the networking field? I’m still determining if this path is right for me
I feel you on alll of thiiiisss. When i first started doing helpdesk i was getting a whopping $17 an hour lmao meanwhile one of my coworkers was getting $40 an hour to answer phones through a different contractor
I tell you I was hatin 🤣
@@certifiedcurls all of us were trying to get with his contractor but we got played by the contractor we started out with just smh
Hey my new favorite i.t I am going thru all your videos now! What pays more generally speaking networking or cloud?
I was making $8.75 an hr,not even 40 hours a week. I had about $11,000 a year. I said I got to go lol. I'm studying for the CompTia a+ cert now, trying to get a foot in the door to the I.T field.
Hell yea! I wish you all the best in your future IT journey
@@certifiedcurls thank you!
This is so informative and funny lmao
i'm in a support role right now, the pay is terrible and most support jobs in my area (Houston, TX) require you to a whole bachelor's degree and they give you an hourly rate of maybe 12-13 an hour, support roles don't pay well but I'm looking at this job as my foot in the door. Once I'm here for a year I'm bouncing while continuing my college studies in Cybersecurity (My major teaches me everything from coding to networking and security based things). I'm really excited to see what the future holds!
Good luck! Getting your foot in the door is the first step, after that it's up to you to grind and study to move up
any updates?
My first job in networking was 220k in Afghanistan. Hustle game. I was able to learn on a production networking in Bagram while getting paid incredibly. I told a lot of you young soldiers the game but y’all don’t listen and y’all scared and don’t have a hustle
great video, kept it real
I would never waste my time in a job or position which I never want.. 😊 I dreamt of working for a particular company and by God's grace I got what I wished and I worked till I could before terminating 😊 as u said, its not worth our time.. And haha yes even I hate talking on the phone. Most of the support positions pay well too because you're supposed to be available almost all of the time and slowly slowly it will eat up your head too😂😂 but 37 dollars an hour is really a great amount!
I work in recruitment and yes support positions typically pay well even tho its just support.
Most ppl typically don't want to work customer service tho
All thee way from Namibia, I'm overwhelmed with too much studying!! CCNA(done), Python ( wanna be a software engineer) , ethical hacking and Azure. Well i won't lie its much and depressing. Having said that, i love your vibe and keep it up!
Stay motivated!! Take a break if you need to don't overwhelm yourself or else you won't want it anymore! Thank so much for watching
True That, at least one get to use videos like yours as an escape with all the humour you get to put into it. For some of us it really helps
Have any advice? I'm going thru air force right now as Cyber Systems Operator (SysAdmin basically). I already have bachelors in unrelated field so I'm kinda hoping the experience + certs will be enough to net a 6 figure job as a network engineer when I get out
Very informative!
You're lucky you did not start in NYC, the IT market is different here. Highly competitive/ high requirements with lower wages. That's what happens when you have a 100+ applicants for every position...
Would you ever do a networking immediate series ? or just drop so beginner nuggets? Please I watch you and become even more inspired in my networking journey.
Absolutely! Since I started the channel a few months ago I want to start off with the beginning things and head towards more advance 🙂
Yes always look in your profession I am cyber analyst or going for SOC and entry is around 65 to 75k starting.
Informative!!!
Hey Ms Lisa can you speak on your lab server hardware? I saw the one with you switch and router.
Lovely video, quite funny and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am starting from the bottom bottom. Tomorrow I start an Information Technology Network Support Specialist program that will consist of the A+, Network+, Security+, and Cloud+ certificates. An 8k program that I was blessed enough to get paid for by a non-profit. I am already looking into what school I will go to afterwards to get my CCNA and MCSE. I have a brief 6 months employment as a Tech Support Specialist for VIOP telephones and after being laid off in Healthcare due to COVID, I knew IT would be what I changed my career to. I looooove these kinds of videos. Gives me hope. Love seeing other women in the industry. Had to subscribe :D
Good luck on your journey! it's a good switch and you can also work more in healthcare IT also with your experience
What do you mean by starting out? You clearly had experience, so what would be typical for someone that is transitioning from a different field into networking?
I can personally cosign what she's saying. Also, when my title changed from support specialist to engineer my pay doubled. People just don't understand technology and they are willing to pay people that do.
im being promoted in my company to the IT team which is a team of 4 but the company has a total of 400+ employees im in missouri and they are starting me out at 50k a year. is that good starting out? im always down to negotiate pay but i just didnt have an argument or what people typically made lol
Edit: I commented too soon
I just like your videos & listening
Thank you
Negotiations can make or break the job offer though. My friend passed the technical exams and interviews. But when they went to the negotiations, he told them his expected salary and they didn't call him again lol.
You give a range of expected pay. Very high and very low, then negotiate when you know they want you.
I hate when employers do this
Hi, I am looking to change my career to networking field. Currently working in CAD designing field, what kind of Courses I have to do to achieve my goal.
I'm in networking, what other engineering positions I could transition to that's relative in experience?
Did you have any certifications going into your first job (the 40k position) or did you just apply? Did you have any certifications going into your second job? Any credentials? I am really happy I stumbled across this channel. This is the 3rd video I have watched from you.
The 40k job require security + since it was a government position. Only one other position required CCNA and security+. All other positions did not require any certs
I’m in a windows server admin class for 9 months. 4 months down and I only have my networking fundamentals MTA and taking my security fundamental MTA tomorrow. I feel like I just can’t learn this stuff :/ idk how I’m gonna pass the Comptia server+
I’m majoring in IT and wanted to know is this the best position to go into? Also I hate being on phones too ! I graduate in 2022 and just want to be proactive in looking into possible jobs now or training so I can be prepared .
I personally love networking so I think it's great. Now I suggest everyone no matter the path learn the basics of networking because it will help you in the long run. As far as it being the best position for you, I can't answer that. You should research the different paths you can take and if one really catches your eye then pursue that. It's all based off of what you want to work with 😄
Informative video!! Question, do you have any certifications?
Yes I do. A few 🙂
It really depends were you live, cost of living, very important, for the area.
Is computer networking and administration a good course to rely on please 😊
1.as a cyber transport specialist what was the best and worst part about 2.were u able to go to many different bases bc of job 3.why is a drivers license required
Best is the ability to be stationed at any base. Worse it that it's so broad you never work the same job no matter where you end up. Yes I been stationed at may bases around the world and deployrd as well. Need a driver's license because you're gonna be driving
GlassDoor is really your friend here. Austin network engineering for CCNP is probably around the numbers posted, but Senior NetEng with CCNA/NP is solidly $105-115k, Non-contract. Probably 5-10k higher for contract at a decent sized company. I'd assume it's the same in DFW. Public Sector, probably $10k less. And any Female network engineers Puhleeze consider Austin. New Amazon Center, Tesla is coming with 5k jobs, and Apple is growing. We had three great positions and only were able to interview one woman, and she ghosted us. It, is apparently, expensive to live here. Worst in the country to be making minimum wage, but the market for engineering talent is going to continue to tighten, making it an employee's market for salaries.
What makes you think the market for engineering talent in going to tighten? Genuinely curious as I have a CCNA and the entry-level roles I've found all want 2-5 years of experience so I got the impression it's an employers market. Then again your comment was written 3 months ago so maybe the market changed, or I live in NYC and it's more competitive than other markets.
@@adriennethiery5432 I'm specifically referring to Austin. Austin has an embarrassment of riches in opportunities right now with Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and now Tesla hiring like crazy here.
@@ftnetops4264 If only my husband and I hadn't just bought a house in Canada, I would be considering Houston. I'll check Amazon and Tesla's job boards and see if there are remote opportunities.
I just passed my ccna no work experience how do I navigate my way out ??
Military experience is education. Especially if you get out and earn what you learned and did.
It's so unfortunate when people aren't paid their worth based on what they know whereas others who know nothing, get paid too much. I've learned to demand my worth by owning my skills, education and experience. Yes.. never answer a pay question until you research what they pay is.
Right.. job titles are weird because sometimes you do more or less. I don't like titles.. lol!
I inspire to work in the network of the IT field. I’m in the military, I work in the IT part in my job. I’m a 25U so i get to mess with a lot of IT sectors. I was able to obtain my NET+ and currently trying to figure about if I should get my CCNA. My question is: Can a land a network job with just my Cert and my military experience. I also have a clearance??
Of course!!! Experience matters the most. You can always find a company that will fund your CCNA
Use the “cool” program throughout the military. They’re currently playing all of my certs. Look it up. Army cool or whatever branch that enlisted you
I have a question for you do network Engineer draw or pull cables in a working environment or do they only work on the CLI? Thanks in advance
Each position varies but both
@@certifiedcurls thanks for the reply will you still suggest me to take my CCNA ? or is something else better preferred nowadays?
Quick question, I plan on getting out the military this year. Im a 25b, with a couple good certs. What certs did you have getting out of the military?
Hey, I am sure you likely have a security clearance, keep that active and you will be able to find positions no problem. The major certs you want to have for DoD contractors are those that satisfy IAT (1-3) requirements. The biggest bang for your buck is going to be CompTIA Security +, which satisfies IAT at level 2 and is fairly easy. The other certifications will depend on what area of expertise you hope to get into. Cloud certification for system administration right now, and CCNA/CCNP for DoD networking positions. Honestly if you send me a reply I may have a position for ya on my current contract.
@@anthonyv236 How can I contact you? I currently have my net+, sec+ and CCNA. Working on a CCNP cert and a cloud cert.
@@TreadSEC nice sir! You'll have no problem finding employment when u get out. Link up with me on LinkedIn Anthony vallone network engineer
hey what certs do you currently have?
What are some good contracting it companies
When you say you don't stay long. How long did stay at the support role? Im trying to change career and probably end up starting as a support role but tbh I dont want to be a support role for 1+ years before transitioning. 😅
5 months 😅
I typical see $80k-$95k for CCNP. $125K and up for CCIE in the northeast tri state.
I think that can be about down here too🤔 that's interesting
I think it depends on experience as well. I’m in Atlanta, most Network Engineer roles are typically within 70k to 90k. This is also with a degree or/and a certification. So basically if you have a degree, a cert and say 2 years experience at a minimum, you’ll typically negotiate this type of salary or even more.
When you say "contracting companies" what does that mean? Is that the same as an IT staffing company like Robert Half?
Loving your videos, you're the only ne I've seen making YT content with a charismatic personality. Have you ever considered being a trainer for programs like INE or CBT Nuggets? Not bashing the content because it's fantastic but they could really use more colorful personalities.
Robert half does contract with companies but I believe their employees are full time. Contracting meaning short term positions not hired to the primary company.
I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos but I don't think I would be very good at teaching people lol
Can I still make good money with just certifications?
How would you recommend someone(newbie) to get started in networking?
Watch some free youtube videos on basic networking knowledge along with joining some discord groups. Do free labs with packet tracer and study
Were these support roles are MSPs?
No none of them were
Just discovered your channel
Welcome :)
what was your army MOS please?
Yes, but physical location is critical.
New York or Dallas Texas would be much better.
What was your AFSC or MOS? And how long were you in the military?
I was a 3D1X2 Cyber Transport and I was in 8 years
What about the certificates and stuff?
Hmm I'm not sure what you mean? Did certs come into play for these positions? Not really
Hey Curly. Love youre vids .
Is it possible to get a job with only a icnd1 certificate?
You can but also remember since that one retired they are going to prefer CCNA at least
@@certifiedcurls I am studying right now for the new CCNA, but still have my icnd1 taking dust. Appreciate youre fast reaction and good to know. Looking forward for youre next vid.
@@ludovinaines good luck with you CCNA!!
Do you have any Certificates
What degree did U have? AAS or BS, MS?
Hey, I stumbled across your videos and enjoy your content. It’s refreshing seeing a woman of color working in networking. Much respect. I have a question though. You mentioned that much of your job history has been contacts. So in those cases were you not a “full-time” employee with benefits and all? I’m just curious because I usually shy away from those positions because I assume that to be the case.
So it's complicated from my pov. Now my contract companies offered benefits but it was very expensive for crappy insurance like not doable. And most you don't become eligible until a certain time frame to be eligible
@@certifiedcurls Understood. I work in networking too. I’ve only had 1 contract job 4 years ago. It was full time hours wide and it paid well. I didn’t have insurance there though so I just kindve went without for about 6 months until I found something new. Ever since I’ve avoided contract jobs because I assumed they all worked like that. Thanks for the response!
@@julianh6846 no problem. I've also learned that not all contract companies are the same. Some do have decent benefits.
If working for the prime contracting companies benefits are usually better but working for one of the subs underneath them little to no benefits
2:40
4:40
Besides the pay and maybe career projection, why do people claim support is crappy?
Also, can I email you about the previous helpdesk job paying you about 70k? That's close to an entry level analyst's paygrade and even some Network + and Sec + holders don't come in earning that amount.
I recently passed my CCNA even though I have 12months left in my contract with the Army. Am planning not to reenlist and it’s hard on me since I don’t know what’s out there in the civilian world. Any tips?
Great info. Keep it up
It's a different world out here prepare for a serious culture shock. My advice try to transition with a government position or contract position. Also look into big defense contractors like Boeing, Raytheon, lockheed, etc. That way you still maintain the culture and lingo you're used to. That's what I did. It's cutthroat though.
You should look into Skillbridge
The southern US pay is not as much because the cost of living is not as high. Your pay is determined on the cost of living. So, universal pay at $15 an hour as I’m sure you would like it, would be worth more in some areas and less in others. As you said you didn’t have much experience outside of the military. You ever pulled a cable?
I have no idea what you're even talking about. None of what I said has anything to do with what you just said 🙃
So should I get Comptia Security + or Network + certification
I'm also military with a year left in my degree for Information Technology
With you being military also, do you have a security clearance? If yes, be sure to keep this active when you get out. You should definitely get your CompTIA Sec+ because this satisfies DoD 8570 IAT level 2 (range 1-3) requirements. These are essentially gatekeeper certifications that the DoD uses for allowing someone to operate at various admin levels on their networks. Network+ is a IAT Level 1 certification.
Inspiring to be ccna . What your course in college?
I didn't take any college course focused on networking so I can't answer this question.
I thought the first job was gonna pay you atleast ok money but girl my jaw dropped when you said how much you made in net profit
Yea.... It wasn't what I expected 😂
Based off of your experience, is it better to have a degree or certifications?
Hey Quentin, here is how I look at the degree vs certification challenge. They degree will get you past the first filter of resumes, and the certificate will help narrow down the specifics of what they are looking for. So my answer is really both. I was able to get an admin 2 (support role) with a 2 year AS degree, and the now retired icdn1 Cisco certificate.
@@darensteele1005 Thank you so much for that. I was in school for Computer Science but I never finished. I am going to get my certifications now. But I always wondered which is more beneficial.
It never hurts to have both on your resume! It shows you are constantly increasing your knowledge. Degree always looks good on a resume but your certifications show progress in a particular field
@@darensteele1005 Thank you for this answer! I have a Helpdesk analyst job with a 2 year AS degree as well, but I know people who went the cert route right after high school and we all have the same position.
I love you
I have a question if you don't mind im a ccna plus Ceh certificated but when i looking for a network administrator or network engineer and read the description in requirements they want a ccna but when i see what you will do is more than a network administrator my question is even i don't know other things that they ask for i could apply for it ? or not. Thank you so much
When it comes to job descriptions and requirements, there is no one they would find the perfect person that matches every single requirement. Apply to those positions even though you don't check off all the boxes. I have never been asked about everything on a job description in any of my interviews. If it's about something you have no experience with tell them that and say it something you want to learn.
Yes! I agree with Curly, pretty much the job description is the unicorn candidate. I always would recommend if you feel your qualified to do the job described. Worse case is you don't get a call. But the biggy here is look closer at the description and not as much the "requirements".
Thank you so much guys i really appreciate it
