I would say everywhere, but that would be a lie. For some reason, managers of small and medium-sized neat businesses believe that everything can be “shoved” into the cloud, and the sysadmin can only be an incoming anechoic. That’s why companies often suffer a lot from lame IT infrastructure (or rather IT mess), but they don’t hire a sysadmin. If you manage to get in such a company, in 99% of cases you have to consider working in the company as an experience and move on, and only in 1% of cases you manage to change the boss, become irreplaceable and build an ideal IT environment with a verified architecture and competent management (here’s a real example!).
And here in companies where IT is a key area of activity (hosting, developers, etc.) or it closes the operational work (delivery, online stores, banks, retail, etc.), the sysadmin immediately becomes a sought-after specialist who can develop in one or more areas. As automation continues to take over companies, finding entry-level and mid-level sysadmin jobs won’t be too difficult. And when you become a pumped-up specialist, companies will be fighting for you, because there are a lot of enikays and very few professionals, just like everywhere else.
And you can just see that the range of “specialization” is large: from technical support employee to infobase and DevOps specialist. By the way, working in technical support at the start very quickly, qualitatively and deeply pumps up a number of skills that are valuable for a system administrator.
