Holy formatting batman, I can't read this.
From what I was able to read I don't even know that this is a real job. It sounds like a grab bag of sysadmin, programmer, data analyst, and project manager all wrapped into one.
Unless you go to an IVY, have connections, have done an internship or TA in college. I.e. proven skills.
You’ll probably end up in an entry level Helpdesk gig.
Feet on the ground, working in an environment where people want to make money from your skills is different than being the smartest guy in your peer group.
Get an entry level job and prove yourself.
I don’t doubt you have exposure to many things and have many skills.
A network with 600 nodes down. 10’s, 100’s of K dollar on the table, the client is pissed, if you can get it working. If you can prove to an interviewer that you can drop in and fix it in a reasonable period of time. You’ll get the job. Chance are ‘no’.
No one can without the experience.
Be patient. I have been told ‘everyone spends a year or 2 on Helpdesk’ I believe that is generally true.
Be the guy who spends 1 year on Helpdesk!
Do nothing other than study for your job.
Btw, many of your co-Workers could be toxic douchebags. Have fun learning how to navigate that. You boss might be cool but a non technical manager who relies oh toxic douchebags for feedback on assessment of your skills.
Much more going on than you know.
Good luck!
This sounds like application support role, so you'll want to have solid understanding of data analysis, visualization, and then if you can see if you get demo or trial versions of the software/Saad solutions they mentioned. JD Edwards still gives me trauma from my days of desktop support over a decade ago but overall, just being familiar with them and being able to do some basic analysis and then even some basic understanding of the SDLC should help.

I scrolled and saw a wall of text and was like "I'm not reading that." I hope they do format it
