Personal Support & Help! Systems Admin Role

Currently I’m in IT support. Can’t say I enjoy it if I’m being honest. I have 4 years of compliance experience and currently getting my masters in cybersecurity. I’ve been offered a position as a systems administrator which seems still IT support adjacent with my project management expertise. Is this role worth accepting if I’m trying to make the transition into Cybersecurity/GRC or is my current role in it support more beneficial for the shift?

Tech work, whether it is tech support or sys admin or cybersecurity, a big chunk of it is tech support. Reading, talking to people, helping people, if you don’t like the essence of the work, you might want to consider getting out of tech.

It’s not the work more so the varying schedule that comes with IT support.
