    Do system administrators still exist? Honest question. I was one of those years ago and layoffs, forced back to office bullshit drove me away

      yes, but we spend most of our time in meetings with cloud service vendors now.
      I haven’t been inside the server room for a month.

        I’m not necessarily talking about being in the server room, I’m talking about more like doing power shell stuff and the stuff you would think system administrators do. They are still teaching active directory in IT classes in college

        No, just not many job postings for it. Go look on indeed with that exact title. Switch to remote, almost no jobs
