  • “Career counselling for an IT professional stuck in support”

    I'd like online career counselling for IT professionals who feel stuck, from someone who knows the Calgary market. I'm 35 and have spent eight years in desktop support and service desk roles, the last four at an energy company.

    I have CompTIA A+ and Azure Fundamentals, I script a bit in PowerShell, and I keep getting passed over for sysadmin roles. I'm torn between cloud administration, cybersecurity analyst roles and moving sideways into business analysis.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in Canada.

  • 01

    How much does career guidance or career change cost in Canada?

    Usually C$50–250. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What should I prepare for an IT career counselling session?

    Your resume, certifications, a list of tools you use weekly, and two or three postings you'd apply to if you felt qualified. Note your salary floor and whether you'd accept a short-term pay cut.

  • 03

    Is cloud or cybersecurity an easier move from desktop support?

    It depends on your experience. Support staff who already manage identities, endpoints or Microsoft 365 often move into cloud administration first; security analyst roles usually also ask for log analysis and incident work.

  • 04

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 05

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
