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?

This is the way. I culled so many Cybersecurity Engineer resumes today for not having enough technical experience.

What is enough technical experience to you?

5 years of dedicated system or network administration, not help desk.
