Out of curiosity, how do you find old-school sysadmin gigs? I find that everything nowadays requires knowing the specifics of a particular cloud and their managed services as opposed to raw Linux or networking knowledge.

There are few to none outright old-school sysadmin gigs. You have to know the cloud providers specifics. Also everything about containers. And Go.

But once you get through the door at a new job the massive difference between somebody who understands what is under the hood and somebody who just got an AWS certification with no prior knowlwdge becomes apparent to all. Quick position and paycheck raises follow.
