Guys I am lost and I am asking for yall's help. This is my first job and I landed it as a Linux sysadmin. The first day my mgr took me to the cube and everything was set up. He was like for the first week its gonna be a lot of reading for you. Immediately I was introduced one of the leads and he asked the mgr if I was the one who will be helping the team with Linux and .net work? I was like what?

As said I was not assigned anything for a week. But got emails pertaining to my team. Also, weird that I was introduced to a few folks as team members, but why iam getting all these emails with other names attached?

During the second week the lead sends me an email to look into the code and get help from the fellow dev to at least research how the coding debug is done. A few days later he asks me to look into the code and asks me to fix it. I sent him an email saying that I am an admin and that I couldn't do it, and may need some help from the dev. He was like okay. It' s been 3 days and I haven't sent him the reply? These are not ticket assigned though ( just look into it). Do u think the mgr might be thinking about it ir he would be like "don't matter I just wanted him to look at it".

The project is 2 to 3 years long and from what I understand the project hasn't started yet. The other day the sever mgmt mgr calls me and says that he needs to give access to servers and need to take a short interview to see my windows server skills. I told him that I was hired for the position of Linux admin and that I don't know anything about win. Since then he hasn't got back to me. What do you think they might be thinking?

The other day a fren of mine said that since the project hasn't seem to start and that they wanted me to stay occupied with something, they assigned me the .net code? Could it be true?

Also how's a typical admin team looks like? I am having to work with a lead, 2 devs, some QAs and apparently I am a dev for right now as well. I thought an admin would be given to play with servers and conf and don't worry too much about teams. For now I feel like I am also a dev.

The company doesn't have any culture. I don't know the mgr doesn't talk to me much so does the lead. They haven't even taken me for the lunch. I am anxious not being able to comprehend of how things are going.

Please help!!

@laalmon
I do understand. However at the end of the day we need a job, if a job is related to our field, awesome, if not then still we want the job. Don't we?
Ain't talking about being a pro on unrelated technology but having a fundamental knowledge ain't hurt.

Not fundamentals, they want me to resolve their tickets.

guys,
haven't i have been super busy with my new project these days, i wouldn't have hesitate to provide a technical training free of cost :)
however, still i can provide some insight on how to learn following the tutorial and
how to deal to nail down a job in the market.
inbox me should you have any question.
soon or later i would provide relevant suggestion

Sys Admin is not .Net Dev

If you are Linux Sys Admin, you should also have few knowledge on Windows Server World.

What was the requirement for the position?

@sojoketo I will surely inbox you the details. @ djblade I understand that I should have some knowledge of win servers, but this job asks for win server experience entirely. However, I was exclusively interviewed for linux. They didn't even ask me any question from win. The first round int was taken from Bharat and the second round was with the project mgr ( who certainly asked mostly non technical questions). Thanks. Cheers. TGIALW.
