LinkedIn has you as "Systems Administrator", I see ERCOT has openings for Operations Engineer 2 and Sr Cyber Security Analyst ( https://external-ercot.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&searchLocation=&searchCategory=&hashed=-435774332) -- how does that compare? How about interviewing for a more senior position at another company? If you discover you're not qualified, get qualified (can you learn the hot new technologies after hours?) I'm available to work with you one-on-one, if you'd like, through the LOPSA mentorship program. I see you've held four system administrator positions over 13 years and I encourage you to reach for a more senior position - it certainly sounds like you are ready! Best, Aleksey
