| Would AWS be more beneficial than the Cisco cert path? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 06:10 AM PDT With everything going cloud based, would it be more beneficial to focus on learning AWS and getting certs for that than going the Cisco route? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2018 09:04 PM PDT So, I graduated college and got a job at help desk making 36k a year but I'm 3 weeks into the job and I already know everything. I am doing twice as many tickets as some techs every day, I have a higher closure rate than all my co-workers and I think I have already hit my peak. Basically, all my job deals with is logging people off citrix servers, passwords resets, ending frozen applications and word/excel/powerpoint/adobe/outlook questions. I feel like this job isn't preparing me for anything and I am not learning anything new anymore. How long is too soon to look for a different job? [link] [comments]  |
| Need some advice for career paths suitability Posted: 14 Apr 2018 06:39 AM PDT I have a CS degree but I am currently very lost in life due to my inability to decide on a career paths. Here are some of the things I am considering for a career.
LOL, there is quite a long list I wrote. Maybe I am not cut out tech jobs and should return back to college for a new degree. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 03:55 AM PDT Is it easy for an average computer science student to get ML/AI Jobs after completing Master's in computer science from a tier 2(top 50) university in USA? Or should I focus on all aspects of computer science like algorithms, data structures, app & web development and take up any good job that comes my way and switch later. [link] [comments]  |

| How do you answer this interview question? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:52 PM PDT If you have two people in similar related positions and having similar problems, who would you help first? I would say assess each situation and from there determine what you do first...is there a specific answer for that question?? Edit: I did say first come, first serve because if they have the same position then it wouldn't matter unless like one user said, a) they have been with the company longer b) they have more of a financial impact on the company [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2018 04:30 PM PDT Not sure if I'm coming to the right place. 26 years old, just got hired at a local MSP with absolutely no experience or knowledge (beyond what I've picked up from you all and being around an internal IT team from my corporate gig before this) - just a passion for the work. I'm entering my 5th month on the job and I feel like I'm getting my dick knocked in the dirt. I'm just moving past being the password reset monkey and starting to deal with actual problems. And most days, I'm not even sure that I can spell DHCP. Is this normal? What is the average rookie experience? I know that I can figure this stuff out. And that the fire of my Sysadmin dreams hasn't died - I just feel like I'm really fucking bad at it. I'm definitely not this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/q0wzq/help_i_think_i_may_have_screwed_my_career_and/ I'm just unsure of how often I'm supposed to feel like a fish out of water. TL;DR - 5 months in at an MSP. Really sucking ass. Is that just how it goes? [link] [comments]  |
| Are paid CCNA classes worth it? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 02:27 PM PDT I'm thinking of signing up for an in-person training course for $800 with the Technical Institute of America because I'm pretty shit at learning on my own time and I've had good experiences with SAT prep in high school. Is this a meme and a rip-off or has anyone here had a good experience? [link] [comments]  |
| BS in MIS, 2 years phone support, 1 year desktop. What are my prospects? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:07 PM PDT Hi guys. I've been working in my university's IT department as phone support for 2 years. After the first few months I was promoted to providing specialized support for the university's LMS (learning management system). Yesterday I was promoted to desktop support and will be trained during summer, so I'm going to spend the last 2 semesters here doing that. I'm not 100% what I want to end up doing. I'm a "people person" and I enjoy and excel at customer service, so I think I'd like to continue pursuing a career in professional desktop support. I've also been flirting with the idea of someday becoming a sysadmin. What do my prospects after graduation look like? And is there any point in getting A+ certified? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2018 02:58 PM PDT Regardless of your speciality, what has been your most lucrative certification, in terms of income/money? I'm specifically interested in true technical certs, but I'll listen to anything I think it could be an interesting topic. I did some googling and was surprised to see AWS certs, along with some management -ish certs at that top of many list. What do you all think? [link] [comments]  |
| Questions about Cybrary.it career paths Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:45 AM PDT I recently got an email from Cybrary about becoming an IT insider pro and choose to enroll in 4/5 career paths with resources and mentors. Has anyone dived into the paid model of cybrary? Price point is a bit steep at 99/month but as not being a paid member to the services, I am unaware if this price model is on par.

| Resume Help - Relocating and Not Quite Sure Posted: 13 Apr 2018 03:43 PM PDT Hi there, Looking for a bit of helpful advise on my resume and potentially how to move forward career-wise. Bit of a wordy explanation ahead, but it's the only way I know how to explain where I'm at. /r/sysadmin and this subreddit have been some of my daily reading habits for a bit now, but only in regards to my current position. Today I was part of a series of layoffs, supposedly because the company was struggling financially. (But at least they managed to hire that third director/VP this quarter, eh?) I've been in the area I'm currently at for 5 years, but only decided to go back to school and really pursue an IT career in 2015. So I found a nearby community college with an Information Systems Technology Associates focused primarily around Cisco networking. Really enjoyed it and managed to pick up a 6 month work-study with the campus IT. A short Desktop Support gig after that and I found a a company nearby looking for a third IT Admin to add to their staff. A small/medium business revamping a whole slew of infrastructure from networking to servers to workstations. Really a Jr. Admin position. Right away I got to dive into setting up an MDT/WDS server and building and deploying images for all of the new workstations and servers going up, including 2016 VMs to help spread out some of the services (Previously a single bare-metal box was serving as a domain controller, file share, dhcp, dns, printing, and a laundry list of application servers.) After a few months, we were told to start allocating some time to designing a network overhaul to replace some aging equipment and questionable design. (Dozens of Dell and Netgear switches daisy chained off of each other in an entirely flat network, not a VLAN in sight.) So i was given permission to set up a syslog server (Wasn't aware no one was monitoring this till that day, ouch) and started mapping what we had in Visio. Presenting this to the decision-making parties, it was declared that we would buy an entirely new set of hardware and start over and I got to design a collapsed-core-sorta-looking thing that we could at least use to judge hardware costs and licensing needs. Sounds like fun. Well, a few months into that design and that was put on hold, as was most of our purchasing power. It got steadily worse till we were getting purchase reqs for mouse pads declined, (Got another VP on board that month, though.) Eventually I suppose someone with their name tag on a parking spot and a salary far above mine decided that getting rid of my (And a few dozen others) aforementioned salary was the most effective way to save the company money. So, today, on Friday the 13th, I was given the chance to put a PowerShell script for terminating users and disabling accounts across our systems to use as the names kept rolling in, till finally my name was asked for by Security. I suppose i just needed to get that out there, but now my actual questions start.

| What is the market like in Arlington\DC? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 11:27 AM PDT I'm currently working L2 help desk in Tucson making about 45k. I have been wanting to break into systems and have been seeking certifications on my own time, but I thought I would have more time than this. My gf is being offered a job in Arlington that is too good for her to pass up (decent money, probably in the 55k range, but more importantly it is a critical career step for her). We will probably need to move by mid June, and I'm wondering what the job market is going to look like for me. I've got a little more than a year at big-name corporate L2 corporate helpdesk, with 4 years of mixed L1\L2 at a smaller outfit. I have Net+ and Sec+, but I don't have a degree. I may be able to have RHCSA if I rush it and don't screw up because of the rush. Am I probably looking at settling for another help desk role, or do I have a snowball's chance of getting into systems with a totally fresh RHCSA (or not)? Either way, is the job market there active enough for me not to be stuck unemployed and looking for months and months? On another note, this is my first time changing job markets entirely without my employer dragging me there - is it worthwhile at all to be applying for positions before I'm actually moved, or is that too much of a red flag?

| How Beneficial would it be to learn Spanish? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 10:55 AM PDT Hi Reddit, I will be an IT grad. I have about two years of experience working in university envrionments working as a student assistant and IT Student Assistant. Regardless, by graduation I'm sure the real world is going to say "you're not good enough", I'll get low pay, and basically have to start back from square one (helpdesk). Anyways, I took Spanish for four years in HS and one year in community college. As I finish the degree, would it be worth it to go back to a community college and take a series of Spanish courses? I'm located in Southern California. TLDR; Graduating soon, have some "IT" experience in academic setting, but have a feeling I will have to start at the bottom after graduating. Would a couple of courses to brush up on Spanish in CC help me land a job? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2018 01:31 PM PDT I have had a few interviews so far and get some of the same questions, but if you are r/HR what are questions I should look for/ how do you want the question answered. Also, when the interviewer asks do you have any questions for me, what are the best questions you have heard or asked? [link] [comments]  |
