I've been a "sys admin" for 4 years in 2 different banks, oddly enough in both institutions I had to do many different roles all at the same time (support, business analyst, programmer, tester, DBA) all of that besides your normal servers and applications maintenance a sys admin do. I feel like like doing 6 to 10 very different task all day everyday have never been my thing I'd prefer to focus in a goal o set of accomplishments like other fields instead of doing so many things but nothing at the same time I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.

Lets not even talk about money, I'm not in the US earning 100k+, here we barely make 20k putting all that work and extremely long hours (remember updates, implementations and maintenance need to be done at night ooh and no extra paid for that).
I decided to study a lot of statistics, portfolio management on my own (still studying and practicing on a daily basis) . Also got an MBA a couple months ago, changing careers is something I've been planning since late 2018.
At 28 do I have a chance to get involved in another job outside IT? Have anyone done it?
Any advice, suggestion, critics anything is welcome!! Pandemic just ruined my plans and I can't take it anymore.

I'd say go for it, but make sure you keep in mind where you came from, and that you'll be looked at as if you're a new entry in the jobs you want. If I've read this right, you want to go into finance, which could be apt for the occasion. I have friends who have jobs in firms they didn't study for, so you have a leg up on those types of people. And almost any company, no matter the industry, want strongly analytical and technical types, like people who work IT.

My advice would be to take the job you want and the job you have, and make them into two circles of a venn diagram. Then find the jobs that lie in the intersecting middle of your venn diagram and apply to those. That way you'll have the experience of your IT job to back you up, and won't look like you only qualify for entry level positions in the new industry.

Also, especially with moving into a new industry, confidence is key. Remember why you're moving on and what you have that proves your a fit for the new job. You got this.

Best of luck, fren.

Good luck fellow sysadmin. I'm in the US and nowhere close to $100k either, same issues with too many tasks, lack of focus, and after hours work.

I've lurked on here for a few months and still don't know what the right questions are to get started, whether that's plain stocks, YOLOing on calls/puts, crypto, or whatever else there is that I don't know about.

20k putting in 12 hours a day, not even account for all the work that can only be done at night... (nothing of that extra work is paid) welcome to the third world. Being a sysadmin is a scam
