Hi everyone!
I'm looking to emerge into the IT tech field and have recently completed the CompTIA A+ as well as Okta and Google certifications. I currently work in customer service and utilize a lot of tech and SaaS tools but other then training for the certifications I have very little experience as an IT administrator. I just landed an interview with a San Francisco based tech company as an IT engineer, and I'm looking for any interview advice and salary suggestions if I'm asked? Thanks!

It helps to do interview prep beforehand - I usually look at the types of questions and try to identify experiences and stuff I can weave in. The nice thing about remote interviews is that you can cheat a lil haha and look at notes!

Are you looking to get into certain companies?

Yes preferably tech companies, but I'm open to any company with a good work culture.
