Will I be able to get a good paying job with a Management Information Systems (MIS) degree? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 04:15 AM PDT I am currently thinking about going into a MIS degree so that I can deal with technicalities but also have the business education. The reason I do not want to go into Computer Science is because I do not want to be stuck in a desk coding all day with having my boss nag me about deadlines. Always (I got offtrack), will this MIS major land me good jobs? Any help from actual MIS graduates would be helpful. [link] [comments] |
I know that Python is important but how deep do I really need to go? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 01:12 AM PDT I got some recommended resources online for learning python, but it seems like the learning materials are geared towards python developers instead of IT engineers. Does one have to know the language as deep as that of a dev if he or she wanted to go into, say, DevOps or NetEng (SDN)? EDIT: I'd be using my personal python notes from school -> Effective Python -> Python Cookbook -> Fluent Python. I've got no idea of this is overkill though. [link] [comments] |
Looking for some ideas of interesting projects for our IT department.. Posted: 05 Jul 2018 02:30 AM PDT Hi Everyone I've been at a tech startup as an IT Engineer for just over 2 years. Company was about 60 people when I started and is now just about 200 worldwide. So far the IT support in the company has either just been myself alone, or a couple of terrible managers who only stayed for a few months at a time and didn't do very much at all. I now have the opportunity to move into more of a lead role officially - We have just had another IT engineer start a couple of months ago, and another is due to start in august. My boss has asked me to put together a presentation of projects that I want to implement over the next year as part of my transition into a lead role. Basically, I'm looking for ideas. What projects made a big difference at your company in internal IT? All I have really known while working IT is just firefighting, I now finally have the opportunity to look ahead, now I have more hands to assist me, and hopefully more time to spend on projects. We are 90% Mac Devices, 10% Ubuntu. We have implemented Jamf Pro/Casper. Use Zoom for video conferencing / Zoom Rooms in our meeting rooms, dialpad for calls, Zendesk for tickets. No matter how big or small, all ideas are welcome and appreciated! Thanks! [link] [comments] |
Just got my A+. Should I get CCENT or NET+? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 09:14 AM PDT I have a Bachelors in Education and 8 years management experience (mainly in the Trucking Logistics industry). In January I decided to attempt some IT certs to jump careers. Passed my A+ in early June and started putting feelers out for a new job. Still waiting to hear back even though I have gotten some good contacts. I know my big downside is experience. Everything I see on here is saying "You are gonna only get a helpdesk job", and that might be fine, but I still want to get another cert to prove that I can learn quickly. So, my original plan was to get Net+ (going through the Prof Messer stuff on that and got a Mike Meyers course from Udemy), but now I'm thinking that it would be more advantageous to go for a CCENT? Down the road I plan to get my Sec+ and also have looked at this Google IT Professional. Ideally, what I want to do in IT is be more customer facing. Have the technical knowledge to explain what would be the best option for a customer, maybe an account rep on some level, that could set up networks and hardware for a customer. I live in a smaller city, there is a large demand for IT services among the small/medium business around. They need IT help, but don't need a full IT department, or even one person.

HELP: Being Accused of Salary Spying Posted: 04 Jul 2018 01:34 PM PDT I am finding myself in a strange and upsetting situation. Sorry, its long. Let me offer some background. Understand, hiring and promoting from within is something this organization does a lot of. Note: my boss, let's call him Rob, was initially hired on as a janitor. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with that on its own however, Rob has no education, is in his early 60s, and struggles to keep up with routine IT manager / sysadmin issues and responsibilities. His only IT experience comes from briefly being an ISP installer tech in the early 90s. Again, this is a non-profit so the political/corporate climate is much more relaxed than most organizations. What's more, I like Rob and I like working for this organization, so far. We get along very well and I have no doubt that Rob's endorsement was worth a lot when they chose to buy up my contract and hire me full-time. I want to play the long game, learn and grow as much as I can and be a well-qualified candidate for his job when the time comes. Fast forward to now(ish). Last week. Yesterday. Epilogue. Actual questions: · Has anyone faced anything like this before? If so, what happened? · Am I overreacting? · What should I do next, if anything? TLDR: I asked my boss for a promotion, he asked his boss, the CEO, and HR. HR says the only way I could know that there was a salary difference between me and the next guy in my department was if I was spying on salaries via the accounting system. Now dunno wtf to do or even if I want to work for them anymore. [link] [comments] |
Why do people make it like programming is a mandatory skill? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 05:40 AM PDT Even those people who are in non IT fields are being told to learn programming as well despite those being completely irrelevant to their fields and in IT field itself there are a number of subjects that has nothing to do with programming at all excluding scripting like command prompt.

What are some recommended certification after getting my under grad degree in IT? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 07:13 AM PDT What are some certification course which will help me in getting a job after I get my degree. [link] [comments] |
Best jobs in IT with flexible hours? Posted: 04 Jul 2018 07:55 PM PDT I'm switching careers but I can't be doing a 9-5 anymore. I'd love to work 6-8 months of a year then travel the rest. Are there any flexible jobs like this? [link] [comments] |
Looking at Helpdesk, Technical Support or Junior SysAdmin roles. Resume critique requested Posted: 05 Jul 2018 10:01 AM PDT It has been some years since I looked for work the traditional way, so my resume is being overhauled. Most of my work has been independent, or in extremely small companies, so I am looking to find work with companies that actually HAVE IT departments. As such, I am happy to start at the helpdesk or support roles and build myself up in a more normal environment. Any advice is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
Needing some insight on working in I.T.? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 09:40 AM PDT I'm a college graduate in I.T. with an associates degree. I work at a local hospital with a basic job however, the hospital has a I.T. building. I'm meeting up with the manager today and I'm interested in entry level jobs like Help Desk or Hardware/Software. Any tips I should know before I head in? [link] [comments] |
Where am I going to find IT/help desk jobs? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 09:37 AM PDT I live in Southern Alberta. Post Code beginning with T1B. There's absolutely nothing listed here anywhere. I've broadened my search to neighboring cities, but I'd like to avoid moving away as there's complications that would make that a huge hassle... though, I'm prepared to do that if that's what it takes. I've got 2 years experience as a remote support tech, I gave up that job 7-8 months ago to get some certs under my belt and other schooling. As of right now I have A+, Net+, Sec+, Server+ and am working towards MCSA, and following that I'll go for CCNA. I have experience with Azure, AD, Networking, etc... Everything I've read here has said that having the trifecta alone will get me in the door for an entry level job, nevermind my experience. But with the lack of advertised jobs around here, I've come up dry. There's an MSP around here that has me on a shortlist for when they are hiring, but at this point that's not helping me. So, what gives? Where are these jobs? I hate the idea of coldcalling businesses or just walking in, but I'll do it if that's what it takes. Some pointers would be appreciated. Such as which businesses are most likely to have in-house IT staff. [link] [comments] |
Offensive skills in Cyber Crime? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 07:52 AM PDT Greetings. I've gotten my foot in the door working in a SOC doing some penetration testing and offensive stuff(vulnerability assessments, metasploit, scripting, etc.) and I'm looking at the future to see what kinds of higher level positions I might want to align myself with. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there are a whole lot of things that utilize pentesting skills beyond being a pentester. I would really like to stay on the offensive side if possible because I enjoy it and am good at it, but as far as salary and growth is concerned, it looks like my options are limited. Surely there are some FBI or government positions where I can fight bad guys and be like a cyber super-hero, right? There's gotta be investigations, intelligence gathering, and social engineering against criminal organizations, human traffickers, domestic threats, etc. Would be very cool to use some of the skills I've learned and put them to good use in this way. I've looked on FBI, NSA, DHS, USAJobs websites, but they are annoyingly(understandably) vague about these kinds of positions. What job titles might I be looking for? How might I align myself for these positions in the future? [link] [comments] |
Breaking into Junior Network Admin/Engineer Positions? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 06:50 AM PDT So I've been working at an entry level IT job for almost three years now and wanted to know what the next step would be to get into some sort of networking role. I just finished my network+ and am considering going for ccna eventually but have no help desk experience so I don't know which would be more beneficial currently or if I would be able to jump into a junior network admin role without help desk? My current job has us primarily setting up PCs, MACS, and servers by imaging OS onto them and performing minor troubleshooting occasionally. Here is my resume for reference: https://imgur.com/a/EOVrrsK Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

IT career with no real education other than regular nerd experience. Posted: 04 Jul 2018 12:37 PM PDT Hey, I've been doing basic IT things that all nerds do nowadays like build PCs, set up home networks and router settings etc. I also went to a high school with a little tech education but basically nothing useful. Is it likely for me to get a job and kick start a career in IT with basically just a lot of experience using a computer and being good at googling. College isn't really an option in my situation and I just want a way to enter the industry even if it means I work for free for a year. I'm basically wondering if it's possible to move up the green path on this picture from your subreddit with my background.https://imgur.com/a/Uf6Y4io [link] [comments] |

How did you get out of Service Desk? Posted: 04 Jul 2018 02:37 PM PDT I have about a year and a half of full-time experience and another two years of part-time experience from college working in service desk with the same company. I am basically the go-to person for all support requests and my current company does not have room for growth. I have dabbled in a few servers here at work from creating GPOs to fully customizing our MDT environment. I feel that I'm naturally gravitating towards sysadmin but I don't have any certs or needed expertise to actually become a sysadmin. I graduated with a BBA in MIS in 2016 and I really wanted to do business IT stuff (project management/consulting) but I feel that that is a total crapshoot now as I have no experience with that and now I'm just a customer support tech. For those of you who hail from the service desk, what job/line of work did you end up being promoted to and after how long? What did it take to get there? I'm thinking of taking a cert (maybe MCSA?) but just unsure which one as I'd really like to make at least $60K with a good outlook on a career. [link] [comments] |
