Ahoy,fellow digit people, I need some directions, please help me :] . My ex200 (rhcsa) is coming up on may 6th. been doing at least two regular practise lab exam sessions. Problem is I find them a bit easy (maybe ignorance, will find out) anyway i could do any task, without panicking which are within the objectives. At a very good pace as well. i have also completed the ansible course for rhce as well, which i will find some fund to attempt the rhce exam. What I'd like to know is what skills should i deepen such that i am desirable candidate for a junior linux admin position? Should i deepen my bash scripting? or podman? I don't want to go into unrelated topics (was learning ccna level topics from jeremy's IT before enrolling for rhcsa, got upto basic routing. This i found very useful).
Lastly something related to career progression. I have a tinge of pessimism towards the future of my own country (tho i am living at one of the least problematic places). I also looked up career options past the junior role. I found HPC engineers are rare and require alot of mastery, and they are in demand in sane countries (countries which are internally and externally at peace, filled with mostly rational people). And workplaces are mostly related to research and academia, which is more oriented towards knowledge acquisition and not more numbers. So what skills should i learn on my free time, while i am prepping for the exam. Currently i have nothing else to do. I love Linux & FOSS Philosophy, an archetype (my character) would be Rocket from GOG, tho i am a mere atom when compared to an imaginary genius, i am talking about being autonomous, that;s what i really crave. If my assumptions are wrong, tell me your POV, anything other than HPC that i should try?. (My degree is in literature tho, my +2 was CS, and i am 25 with no career and lost years :\).
Thank you in advance. Also don't mind me wandering to different things, all i need to know is how to set foot and where to progress.
