I need Career development advice for an IDC technician
I graduated with a CS Master's from a decent school on the East Coast. I've solved 300 LeetCode problems but don't have any good projects.
Currently, I am working as a data center technician at a data center in Silicon Valley. Every day I just handle work orders, swap optical modules and CPUs, run network cables, and do labeling—strictly hardware work that doesn't involve any code or algorithms. I am currently studying for the CCNA. What should I learn and what positions should I prepare interviews for to further advance my career?
