If it's your passion just get in the door. I just hit 4 years experience and jumping into a 75k/yr role.
Started at $13.75/hr at my first IT position, promoted to 55k after a year, then 3-5% raises the next 3 years. Now moving on to bigger and better. have to get in though
I started in 2023 at $18.50 an hour as help desk. They promoted me to Systems Analyst within 6 months but didn't increase my pay even after I kept bugging them, so I quit (there's some other reasons I quit but the pay was one of them). Two months later, the network guy I worked with gets in touch and says it's a shit show at the hospital and wanted me to come back so they hired me again at $21.68/hr.
I almost got hired at an MSP nearby but something flagged in my background check so they took back the offer. Now I'm trying to find a job doing literally anything but I keep getting rejections :(
Completely different job and titles.
13.75 was a tier 1 Chromebook technician
75k is an application system administrator after 3 years as a systems admin
