Long story short: I am still a student in EU and in the last years I had internships and worked part-time mainly as a backend developer but, considering I ever joined only startups, I had chances to work also on the frontend and as a devops for a short time.
So I really liked the few things I did to help the Sys Admin(s) in those jobs and would like to have some more experience in the field before decide in which career path invest my future.
The problem is I can't find any junior Sys Admin job offer, even looking at medium-big companies. The most low level offer I found asked for strong experience on aws/azure and its specific components that I obviously don't know at the moment ( nor I have the money to make for myself a big enough testing architecture on which make some experiments).
Considering all that, is the best solution to try to just get a job as dev and then work from the inside to move on the Sys Admin role? Are there specific types of companies that I should look for (I don't know, maybe in consulting firms it is more common to have a team mentoring new sys admins considering the big amount of work)? Would you suggest some books or screencasts on the matter? Any other suggestion?
