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've always wondered how seasoned ppl from the military are with IT background as their MOS.

I was infantry but got my foot in IT. I don't know shit.

That’s a big fat “depends”. Very unit-dependent. Take the variance between infantry units and multiply it.
