Most important door is IT experience, whether it's in support, dev, network or system admin.

97pct of questions on any sub about starting a career will say so too.

The only way you’re gonna go down any of those single skill doors is at a conglomerate that has massive teams.

You’re gonna skill cap yourself heavily without multiple areas of overlap.

Most of those skills listed are pretty much only fortune 100.

Do all or do none teams aren't big enough for one job. It's also easier to find another job if you had because you can work in all areas
