| Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:13 AM PDT I am a 21y M, working on my career towards network engineering. I hold Net+, Sec+, CCNA, CCNP Routing, CCNP Switching, and am working towards CCNP T-Shoot and a Bachelors of Science, Network operations and security.

What can I do while I wait for CCNP T-shoot and my bachelors to increase my odds of a job as a net engineer? Any online Certs or classes I can do? Please help!! Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2018 09:41 AM PDT I'm a sysadmin and have a full sleeve. Never has been a problem and currently isn't a problem in my current gig. I want a body suit, which could be hidden if I wanted, but I really want the tops of my hands (no knuckles). I am very tasteful with what I put on my body and have very good work done by world renown artists. I'm also about to finish a BS in IT from a decently good polytech university and plan on doing a MS in IT after. I'm trying to shape my career path towards the cloud/security sector. The job I'd like to retire from lol would be a CISO or CTO...somewhere where I am managing technology, policies, and people in a larger enterprise setting. What are your guys thoughts with visible tattoos (i.e., sleeves, hands, etc.) in higher caliber IT positions as well as IT management? [link] [comments]  |

| Is college or work experience more important? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 07:11 PM PDT Im currently in the military and am getting out in a couple months. I was offered a help desk job with a defense contractor but I was also hoping to go to school. The job is for 50k and is in DC so i a concern of mine is that it would be tough to get by. Also the hours will vary so i would probably have to hold off on college for the time being if i took the job. In this case should i take the job and think about school later or go to school and worry about working later? Would the help desk experience be so valuable that it would be worth struggling to get by in dc for? [link] [comments]  |
| Would like some career guidance? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 11:57 PM PDT So I have been doing a year and a half in mobile application testing in a startup. I did a course for CCNA but did not attempt to write the exam as I got the job in between. The thing is I would like to move to something that is related to cybersecurity(do not have much clarity or if there is much difference between infosec and pentesting). I talked to a senior regarding career advice and he suggested that I do an MS which would help me start afresh with a job from campus interviews. He told me that I needed to strengthen my foundations as I did not do my UG properly. The thing is I do not think I have it in me to complete an MS. The other option that was suggested was to continue testing for another 6 months or so in a much larger company and move to a networking position in the same company whenever an opening presented itself. This way I would not be losing any experience and would also get to transition easily into a basic job in the field of networking. My original idea was to do a couple of certifications and get a basic networking job and do more as and when required to further my career. The thing is that my senior says the certificates wont be valid in 10 years. It may help me land interviews but most ppl will be looking past all this. He says I shouldn't be wasting my money going after something that won't help me in the longterm. I am only an average student but I am willing to learn. I do not really wish to do an MS as I don't think I have it in me to go through the course and do not wish to waste my parent's money and my time which if possible I could have spent better. I have completed my Bachelors in Computer science. I am lost now and do not know how to proceed with the next part of my career. Can someone pls suggest how to go about planning my career from here on? [link] [comments]  |
| UCLA vs SJSU vs UCSD for computer science? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 07:18 PM PDT Hey all you smart people, need some advice right now. I'm a transfer student from Santa Monica College and I have just gotten accepted to my three main colleges that I was looking at for computer science. My main goal is to work in cyber security and hopefully graduate with a full time job offer in some area in defensive security. I'm absolutely willing to put in a hundred and ten percent into whatever will make me the most competitive out of college, but I'm just unsure of which environment would be the best for me. Right now I'm really leaning towards San Jose State University just because I feel like there are just more opportunities right there and I can stand out much easier in terms of academics. In addition, I understand experience trumps prestige and I really feel like i could get a lot more free time in SJSU to complete certifications and work on projects that really show my experience in contrast to one of those UC's where i would be swamped with academics non-stop. All of these colleges are ABET accredited so I feel like I would learn the same thing from all of them except for the fact that UC's would probably have a heavier focus on theoretical aspect of it. Thanks for reading this and would love for some perspective. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 01:40 PM PDT I'm thinking of IT because of stability, money, i can move anywhere and use it. Issue is, A. How do i know if i like it well enough and is an associates better, certifications like A+ or both?? [link] [comments]  |
| ISD IT Support position expectations? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 04:40 PM PDT So I just rocked an interview for a middle/high school ISD support position. I'd primarily be helping the teachers with in class tech (computers, AV, etc.) with an 'open door' period for students of about 2 hours a day to help them with school issued devices. What kinda problems should I expect OTHER than break/fix and setting up projectors/presentations? Let's hear the horror stories so I might steel myself! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:02 PM PDT Hello, thank you for taking the time to look over my resume. I will be graduating this semester and I'm looking for some feedback on my resume. So far I have only had an interviews with 1 company, which I failed after the technical interview. Thank you again for taking the time to help [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 03:36 PM PDT Hello everyone, i'm looking for college advice. I'm currently in the Army as a 25B (IT Specialist). I was wondering if I should get an IT degree to go with my experience or if I should get a degree in something else and just focus on getting certs. If so what are peoples opinions on UMUC, Purdue Global, and Penn State Worldwide. My coursework would have to be all online. Thanks in advance everyone, any advice is greatly appreciated.

| Do any of you work for corporate fast food IT? Posted: 27 Apr 2018 10:43 AM PDT Hey everyone, there is a job posting near me (IT Manager) and I am not sure if I should apply. I am currently a Sys Admin, and I think this would be a step forward in my career but not sure if they use newer technologies, or how much I would be learning "new" persay. This opportunity is with a local fast food chain that has been around since 1952, with 40 locations. I would be dealing with POS, internal IT, and external restaurant locations. Funny thing is I worked in the food industry for 10 years before I landed my first IT role. What do you guys think, would you at least apply? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 02:13 PM PDT What kind of training should I take? Or what kind of certs are available for cloud based NT? [link] [comments]  |
| Our Office 365 guy quit. Now I'll be taking over. Posted: 27 Apr 2018 01:38 PM PDT Monday's the last day that our teammate works here. He was mostly responsible for our Office365 and Sharepoint (Work In Progress). My job for now was mostly about fixing and deploying laptops, contacting vendors about warranties, maintaing our deployment environment, giving new hires their gear, and taking care of it when they were leaving and jumping onto our JIRA from time to time If the team thought that I can handle a ticket on my own or If there was something new to learn. I finished high-school about year ago, I know little AD and Networking and I'm learning Powershell to make my life easier (Today I've finished my script for making fat images of Windows 10, Installing bunch of software, enabling Hyper-V and sysprep, I had troubles with MDT Lab on VMs). I think that I'm really good at troubleshooting and fixing. I really enjoy "Investigative IT" and riddles. Some people even tell me that PCs are afraid of me. Today, before I've left for a weekend, my boss told me that I'll be taking over our O365 and Sharepoint(WIP), and He'll probably send me for a training about these. I know that it's my chance, but I'm not sure. I have really rough basics in sysadmin topics. My creds allow me access to AD with basic permissions (add/remove from group, reset password, disable/enable accounts) and local admin for all workstations. I'm not sure that I have basic knowledge to make it. I work here 6 months. I really like my team, they are bunch of great knowledgeable people that will gladly share their knowledge. One of them even told me that I'm wasting myself at my current position. Am I overthinking it? I feel that I've just should trust my Boss, He really knows IT and he taught me a lot of things while i was working here and he was always hinting that he wanted me to do more than just replacing disks and reinstalling Windows. But on the other hand I think that It's too soon for me to sail on to deep waters. I'm actually afraid of ruining this chance. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2018 12:07 PM PDT I have noticed that most IT bachelors require about 57 credits of IT courses. I am looking at a second degree program which only requires 36 credits in IT. Do you think employers will be wary of my education due to low credit hours, even though it is a second degree for me? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to advance my career before possibly being laid off Posted: 27 Apr 2018 10:31 AM PDT I'm attending school right now to get a degree in Network Operations and Security from WGU. I will be obtaining Network +,Security +, Linux +, Cloud +, CCNA, and CCNA Security certifications during my program. I have A+ , Project +, and Cisco Site Associate certifications with experience at a small company as the lone IT guy that supports Windows 2012 server, with 50 laptops/computers of 3 1/2 years. I'm wondering if I should sign up on code academy and learn some programming, which ones are the hottest right now? Our company recently got bought out by a bigger company and it truly feels that I will be laid off because the boss said I'm a transitional employee, am I wrong or what? I never gone through this before. [link] [comments]  |
