I started internally, and shifted to MSP to kickstart the career. I got exhausted though, no ownership of problems, constantly putting out fires and projects being held over the L1s and L2s as something to earn, not opportunities to learn. I transitioned back to internal IT 3 years ago, and I love it. It really depends on the boss and the company but so far I’ve had 3 jobs (1 redundancy, 1 contract and my current one longer term) and its been a real learning experience. I’m still support/engineer adjacent so my MSP experience is highly sort after.
