Good afternoon.
I work as a system administrator in a medium-sized office with its own servers, network, telephony. Since I have to deal with everything, including enikeyism, over time, disgust and a ceiling of opportunities appeared, I have been looking for a job in the city for six months - they offer almost the same money, with almost the same functionality, only with a different level of hemorrhoids. I got fed up with the profession, began to look for narrower directions and offered 2 options:
1. go into information security, half of the work is paperwork, the other half is with programs and their support.
2. in Rostelecom, an employee is required in the telephony department - it is necessary to accompany ip telephony, everything is built on Linux, you need to troubleshoot, coordinate new connections with other providers, and make various settings.
In your opinion, which of these areas to choose and which is more promising, so that in the future it would be possible to change jobs? There is very little experience in all these areas, in the field of telephony, apart from Rostelecom, there are no more vacancies, and in principle in neighboring cities as well.

It’s easier to leave the admin to devops, you can try to find a remote job if there are no vacancies in your city.
It is also a more difficult option - to retrain as a programmer. The salary is higher and there are remote vacancies.

1. I am an information security specialist, and we don’t have paper) Well, except for electronic paper with electronic signature, cloud services, etc. Yes, in a small provincial company it may not be interesting.
But you will be able to configure everything as safely as possible with experience in software / hardware administration. Try it, maybe something will do: https://team.cft.ru/jobs/all/information_security and we will accept it remotely.
3. DevOps and SRE are also relevant, there are many remote vacancies.
