| After searching for about a month after graduating from college, I got my first IT job offer!!! Posted: 31 Jan 2019 05:27 AM PST I got very very lucky securing my first job only a month after graduation, I know many struggle to get a job, but like a lot of people here say, it a combination of luck + numbers game. The company that I got an offer from needed people as they are growing very rapidly, and I just happened to find them, and submit an application as the position is relevant to the field down the line of what I'd like to go into (Data Warehousing). As soon as I graduated, I made it basically my "Full-Time" job, to search for work and I would submit about 10~15 applications a day for at least 5 consecutive days. All except 2 of the 2nd generations in my family (My cousins who are around the same age as me, give or take 1~3 years off) are not too well off in terms of career, and either have no jobs and living with their parents or have "level 1" jobs, etc. My parents were extremely proud considering this case as I would be one of the only 2 that are following a "traditional life career path", which is go to college, graduate, then get a job. I am the only one to secure a corporate job (I know some are not about the corporate life, but I really do not mind as I like to plan my salaries and having a stable income schedule works very well with how I manage my finances) right after a 4 year university. I have been lurking around in this sub, and reading various job reviews, interview advice, offer advice, and even negotiation threads, which I learned from and negotiated the salary up! I know I'm literally just getting started but it is a huge personal milestone for me and I wanted to share the experience and wanted to thank this sub for providing insight into IT career path, and advice as well. Those of you who are still searching, keep looking. Seriously try to submit like 10~15 applications a day at least, I guarantee you'll get interviews at least every week. It was that way for me and I didn't even go to an ivy league university. IT is a huge field, and those that say it is dying are only looking at some of the posts here talking about how they want to switch out of help desk jobs. Not saying help desk jobs are bad at all, but that's just coming from what I've seen around this sub. For those of you who are still in school...DO THE SAME THING. Always be on the lookout for internships if you're only a junior, or lower, but if you are a senior, start applying the same way I did and hell, you might even get a job offer before you graduate and that is a blessing. I wish all of you luck, and I'll repeat the same thing a lot of the successful IT people on this sub say: Never settle, and always move up! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Jan 2019 05:27 AM PST I went for an interview today for a level 2 Service desk role, I've previously been working at my current company making 52k for about a year and a half, and before that about 3 months in another service Desk role. Initially i had been inclined not to accept the interview as i was hoping to move into more of a sys admin role, but the the PD for the role made it seem like it was less first line service desk taking a high volume of calls, and the Salary listed was 60-65k, which was very enticing for me. So i went for the interview with the recruiter and i thought that everything had gone pretty well until we got to the question about expected salary, i kind of initially said i'd prefer to be towards the higher side of the scale listed, the 65k and she seemed a bit reluctant, so i kinda backpedaled and said, but i understand this is a service desk position so i'd be will to go lower towards the 60k. she said thats fine and listed down 60-65k as what i'd be looking for and we finished up and everything seemed pretty good. She let me know she'd probably get back to me later that day as the company was wanting to move forward quickly, and she thought i was a good candidate. But i didn't hear anything back after that, and now i'm worried that i may have been asking for to much as 60k is pretty much the top end for service desk roles in my city from what i can see. do you think i could have been asking for too much salary wise?

| "What's your salary expectation" and how do you reply? Posted: 31 Jan 2019 09:08 AM PST Hi there, I've been applying to JS developer positions and this is my first time dealing with recruiters. I've always worked on my on. How do you usually reply to the infamous "What's your salary expectation"? Do making a candidate give a salary number first creates unneeded informational advantage? Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 10:46 AM PST A little reminder to you all interviewing. Pay attention to those little details about the company culture. From the front desk person, to the pantry. You're always not going to get it right, but if you're new to the game, start practicing. Here a joke that highlights the process. From LinkedIn: An HR manager was knocked down (tragically) by a bus and was killed. Her soul arrived at the Pearly Gates, where St.Peter welcomed her. "Before you get settled in" he said, "We have a little problem…you see, we've never had a HR manager make it this far before and we're not really sure what to do with you." "Oh, I see," said the woman, "can't you just let me in?" "Well, I'd like to," said St Peter, "But I have higher orders. We're instructed to let you have a day in hell and a day in heaven, and then you are to choose where you'd like to go for all eternity." "Actually, I think I'd prefer heaven", said the woman. "Sorry, we have rules…" at which St. Peter put the HR manager into the downward bound elevator. As the doors opened in Hell she stepped out onto a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club; around her were many friends, past fellow executives, all smartly dressed, happy, and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks, and they talked about old times. They played a perfect round of golf and afterwards went to the country club where she enjoyed a superb steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil (who was actually rather nice) and she had a wonderful night telling jokes and dancing. Before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everyone shook her hand and waved goodbye as she stepped into the elevator. The elevator went back up to heaven where St. Peter was waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds, playing the harp and singing; which was almost as enjoyable as her day in Hell. At the day's end St. Peter returned. "So," he said, "You've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven". "You must choose between the two." The woman thought for a second and replied: "Well, heaven is certainly lovely, but I actually had a better time in hell. I choose Hell." Accordingly, St. Peter took her to the elevator again and she went back down to hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends dressed in rags, picking up rubbish and putting it in old sacks. The Devil approached and put his arm around her. "I don't understand," stuttered the HR manager, "The other day I was here, and there was a golf course, and a country club. We ate lobster, and we danced and had a wonderful happy time. Now all there is, is just dirty wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable." The Devil simply looked at her and smiled, "Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're staff."

| Do I.T Titles matter? Here is how i found out Posted: 31 Jan 2019 10:14 AM PST Almost everyone in IT understand that I.T titles can be confusing and you do not necessarily do what the title says you do, and a lot of people do not care about them. Thats what i thought when i accepted a position as a "Workstation Analyst" , moving from a "Sysadmin" tittle (had 4 years jack of all trades at a small company) at a different company. As a "Workstation Analyst" i did most of the desktop support in addition to server administration and some networking (Jack of all trades again at a small company). I also made $10k more as a "workstation analyst" than i did as a sysadmin and i did even more sysadmin work. I should have been called a "Systems Administrator", but for some reason (financial i guess), they chose workstation analyst. I did not care because i jumped $10k up and loved the work. Fast forward 3 years later when i wanted to move jobs to another Sysadmin type position and i kept getting desktop support folks call me, even-though in my responsibilities i stated that i deployed servers, did networking etc.. I asked someone to review my resume and they told me, that my title had the term "Workstation" and everyone thought i am an experienced desktop support person hence they all called me for the desktop support jobs. Sure enough, i changed the title to Systems Analyst and i started getting calls and interviews and finally got a job as a Sysadmin. Whether its hr robots scanning resumes or recruiters who are too busy to read resumes, i learned that it does matter what one's previous title is. Especially if you have high level certifications and experience, like i do. What are your thoughts on titles? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Jan 2019 02:31 AM PST I'm in Brisbane, Australia. probably not moving anywhere. I have been in the IT industry for 5 years, I have a Diploma of IT Networking. I have a CCNA. I have a years experience on helpdesk L1 work in enterprise, 2 years as level 2 in enterprise. I have 2 years experience as a systems engineer l2 at an MSP. I'm really a generalist, Mostly windows desktop, server and Networking. I recently moved into a new MSP role which i thought would be an improvement but i'm not satisfied with the role. I earn 70K which is a decent wage, could be more but that is not the real drive. Ideally i think i want - Less Break-Fix type work - No trivial Printer and computer issues - Project work in more structured and documented environments I'm passionate for networking i'm interested in - Ansible + Python network automation (recently complete a very introductory self study course for this) - SD Wan (have limited exposure to this) neither of these are really a thing at my current job and that's unlikely to change. I'm just curious what is out there job wise, Do i have unrealistic expectations to not do break fix and ticket based work? Do i need to go into a re-seller or consulting role to do this? What skills should i be looking for to be successful in a role like that? Ansible and SDWAN by themselves can that make a career? lets be honest i'll never be the best in the world, can't be too many positions for this? i feel like i'm 10 years behind everyone else, probably because i am, am i just impatient?

| no bites for a networking job... Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:47 AM PST Hello all, I wanted to get some advice to get more bites when applying for a networking role. My career goal is to become a network engineer, i have set this goal early in my career and finally getting closer. been doing desktop support for about 4-5 years at numerous companies and currently have a associate sys admin role, but not really into it, I am learning a little bit about servers but it's not for me, i'd much rather deal with routers and switches. My question is what can i do to increase my chances and get some hits? I have never had a true networking role such as NOC or network support or anything, but, i do have my CCNA:RS, should i just go for my CCNP:RS or branch off into CCNA: Sec, or maybe take a look at a different vendor such as Palo Alto or Juniper? Not sure if this is good but i started learning some basic python as i've been reading and hearing it's a good skill to have, but programming and python is 100% new to me Thanks all, i look forward for your input!

| Got a Job offer for 35k a year with benefits doing help desk. Should I negotiate? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 10:52 PM PST I have 1 semester of my bachelors degree left, and they will pay for my certifications. Glassdoor shows the average is around 42k. Also I live in the south. [link] [comments]  |
| Working at glorified Help Desk. Looking to move in a different direction Posted: 31 Jan 2019 08:16 AM PST Wall of text alert, apologies ahead of time! I have been working in IT for ~10 years, mostly in Help Desk type roles. I graduated college in 2010 with a non-tech related degree, but plenty of student work in IT jobs (Help Desk, assisting Sys Admins and Network Technicians). After graduation, I worked in a Registrar's office running SQL reports. After a relocation, I worked retail doing tech repairs/sales. After being unable to get a job in IT given I only had student work experience and no related degree, I decided to get my Masters in IT to try and get my foot in the door of a real job in IT. After getting my Masters in Information Technology in 2014, I landed a job at a University in an office best described as a student triage help center, where I have been for 5 years now. They have a separate 24/7 Help Desk which is remote help only, and our office is where all students (but some faculty and staff) come with basically any computer problem that they have. They come in with anything from software issues, software installs, general maintenance, to hardware issues which we triage and then send down to a hardware support department for actual repairs (we can do easy repairs in our office - HDD installs, RAM upgrades). So essentially, we are a glorified Help Desk. There is no actual upward movement within my department. In fact, movement of any kind to a different office/area is seen as abandonment. I have managed to at least get moved into the one Lead role in my office aside from the manager. At this point, I feel like I have peaked in this position (big fish in a little pond type of situation). I really would like to get out of Help Desk type roles, but am finding that I ended up in a dead end where I have accumulated a general familiarity with most aspects of IT, but not enough about any one area to be able to jump into a new role (sys admin, network admin, analyst). The only certification I have is the ACMT. I started studying for the CCENT/CCNA a couple years ago, but didn't get very far because time to study was limited, and I wasn't entirely sure it was the right direction to go. In the very near future, I will likely be relocating due to my wife defending her dissertation and her hopefully getting a job at another University. With that, I of course would be getting a new job somewhere else, and am struggling to find the type of job that I feel qualified for that isn't a Customer Support type role. I understand that it may be a multi-step process for me to end up in a position in a different area of IT, having multiple jobs before getting there. I have been on the look out for positions that are willing to train, mostly entailing doing things I already have experience with and training on the new areas, but I know those are pretty rare. Outside of the generic Customer Support skills (malware removal, software troubleshooting, email configuration, etc), I have experience with creating and deploying custom images to both Macs and PCs, remote management of iOS devices, basic programming knowledge (Java, Python, SQL) but I am by no means a programmer, general knowledge of how a network is set up, and have experience being the liaison between technical and non-technical people. Also, I know this is a cliche and everyone says it, but I am a very fast learner and can adapt quickly to most situations without much trouble. I was hoping to get some experience on the corporate end of things, since I have been in higher education for so long. From what I have always heard, the corporate side won't see much value in you the longer you are in the field with no experience on the corporate end, and I would like not to be stuck in higher ed for my entire career (for multiple reasons, but mainly: money...). All of this to say, I was hoping for any suggestions for types of positions I could be on the lookout for or things I could do to start moving my career down a different path. I'm really not limiting myself regarding what other types of positions I would be interested in. In general, I picture a system administration or network administration type of role down the line, but I recognize without much experience in any of that, I might be aiming too high given my age (31) and not having a CS background. My only limiting factor is that I need to maintain the kind of salary I am making now (supporting a family and all), ideally making more than I do now, so taking a junior role as a sys admin or something along those lines would be hard money wise. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, and to anyone who has any helpful suggestions! TLDR Working at a glorified Help Desk, looking to move into another area of IT but finding it difficult to know what area to aim for. [link] [comments]  |

| Would you take less pay to work at a more prestigious company? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:22 PM PST I have interviewed for two jobs. Both places seemed impressed with me, and would like to know when I would be able to start. My conundrum is that Company A is a very prestigious company, but is offering $10k less annually. While company B pays better, it is not as flashy. I haven't given them an answer yet because I would like to hear your opinions on the matter. Does it matter if you have a big name company on your resume for future jobs? [link] [comments]  |

| What are the options for 20 years old who plan to work from home in the future Posted: 31 Jan 2019 01:49 AM PST Hi everyone. I am 20 and have to attend university in the incoming September in UK. Due to many reasons including my health, I might not be a suitable candidate to work in a traditional environment due to my leg and back issues. Although i am still fully functional at the stage, l want to make plans for future self when it comes to working. I am considering studying computer science in university and i would like to know more on this topic. My goal is also to move to another European country possibly after i graduated.

| Posted: 31 Jan 2019 05:27 AM PST I have 10 years of help desk and sysadmin work, but I've been unemployed for a while (entering month 6), and I'm having a heck of a time getting calls back from applications. The market around here doesn't have many opportunities for senior positions, most are level 1/2 roles and I have a feeling that I'm being overlooked because of my experience (ie over qualified). One thing I'm finding is that security positions are often advertised then never filled because the company is "re-evaluating organizational priorities" or the like. I read this as "we didn't, and still don't know what we need." I'm considering starting a business doing security consulting, ie site and business assessments and co-ordinating subsequent PenTest/security testing, with a main goal of helping identify what the organization actually needs. Consulting is not a new concept, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with doing this, and can point me at resources to show me what I should expect when starting out as a consultant, and how to avoid pitfalls. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Jan 2019 02:56 AM PST So about 5 years ago I was a system admin for a large banking company all around the states. They're looking for an IT lead which a lot ties to my direct experience with the company. Issue is that the manager is with a different branch that none at this company are familiar with, and they claimed there's no system to find me in. For one, am I wrong to find it odd that there's nothing they can check to see I worked for the company 5 years ago? Two, why can't they just call my manager at the other branch? [link] [comments]  |

| Would you take a job for less pay because no else is hiring? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 08:25 PM PST I recently got fired at my first job in IT. It was good work experience but I'm not missing much because the pay sucked. I was basically making 30,000 to live in NYC. I could easily make that doing retail plus my commute sucked so bad it was minimum 2 hours one way. I worked here about 2 years. Now I'm in a situation where I can get another IT job under the same conditions meaning a 2 hour commute and low pay but I'd have a job in at least 2 weeks. My other option is apply for jobs in hopes of getting something that will pay a living wage, but I don't know when or if I'll even get another job in IT. I've sent out at least 100 applications in the last 2 days but haven't received a single call back or email. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 09:52 PM PST Recently got my first help desk job doing temp work for technician support company. I love the job but the money is so so .

And i know its different teams diffrent work different pay but my assignment is about to end and was informed we will be merging with the 2nd team that makes more, to finsh the roll out of that project for 6 months . Now im in a situation when i feel like im getting ripped off by my temp agency ... how do i go about asking for more money ? Should i ask for more ? Or is it better to not rock the boat.

| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 06:41 PM PST Hello all, I felt like I should ask the opinion of someone that may have been in my shoes in the past. So here's my story and questions, I have worked at said medium size company for almost 3 years now, as supposed to be doing helpdesk type role. Well current at the time system admin wasn't performing his duties so I often had to step in and assist him as well. This ended with him not being with the company any longer about 8 months ago. Our systems that were supposed to be taken care of by said system admin were far behind, no maintenance or care for years as well as LAN/WAN. I've been basically the sole IT support since until recently they hired another tech that starts within the next few weeks. I have been offered a "promotion" with the company to be the new sys admin/team lead, for the new hire as well as a possible 2nd tech. In my previous role I was able to get as much OT as I wanted because I was actually working for another company that shared services for my company but has now split. After speaking with HR I wasn't very pleased to find out it seems like the pay is very close to have I was currently making as tech but with a lot more responsibilities as well as having to train and manage staff under me now. I am very thankful for the opportunity and can see it greatly helping my future but I am lost. I plan on having a meeting with my boss (which is the CEO) in the morning to go over my duties and I was wondering if it would be smart to discuss pay. I haven't signed anything really accepting the position but it was more I feel pushed on me because I verbally said I believe it me something I would be interested in and the way our shared services has changed. If anyone out there maybe has some insite on what I should do it would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully this isn't to much rambling and kind of got the point across. TL:DR company A is splitting shared services with company B. Company A has offered me a system admin/team lead position but pay is barely over what I was making as tech with company B. Have been sole IT support with company A for last 8 months with very dated infrastructure, in the process of major LAN/WAN updates. Please help. [link] [comments]  |
| I got promoted to sysadmin but my new team creates a toxic atmosphere Posted: 30 Jan 2019 03:50 PM PST Hello there, So I'm confused on what to do in my current company. I will explain. A year back, I was working in the Helpdesk department of this same company. That job was actually cool and I got to learn and see plenty of infrastructure. The company itself it's actually really cool. It has plenty of benefits, good salary and a lot of potential to learn and grow within the company. The company has several IT specialized departments. Then I got promoted (few months back) to a sysadmin team after a really good interview. Here's when things start to get twisted for me. At the start, I was really motivated because I was finally getting beyond the easy and daily tasks from helpdesk. Started learning quite a lot, but there was one thing I was not really happy with... On the Helpdesk department I made really good friends and was really comfortable, but on this new department, im not... My current workmates make laugh of a lot of different deparments and specially, of my old friends from Helpdesk. They have that kind of attitude feeling they're always right and that all the other teams are weird or stupid. They also are really closed within their circle. Most of them have been working together for 3-5 years. Not a single time they have offered me to join them on a breakfast or a lunch. During our time in the office they are just correct with me, and sometimes they teach me new stuff (or reply to me slightly annoyed as if i should know already), but the general atmosphere I feel here is lighly toxic. I don't feel really comfortable working with them, it stresses me. On the helpdesk team I was motivated everyday to go to work, but now im not. It gets worse because, its not that im not a timid person, but I just don't know how to answer idiots or bullies. Im left blank. I just try to be kind to everyone but they constantly laugh about people that are from our company and that we should befriend. Because of that, I'm thinking of leaving the company. But it's a really hard decision, because the company in fact it's really good, and the team I am now touches really interesting technologies and I could learn a lot, but everyday is stressing to me because of the atmosphere. I've looked for similar jobs but in general, the companies are not that good, have lesser benefits or require more experience. I have also thought about trying to move to a different team within the company, but I would still get to see the old team everyday, as the office is not that big, and that would be really weird and might also be stressful. What do you guys think would be a wise decision? Im a mess right now. I wish I had the motivation to work and learn i had back then in Helpdesk when I was really happy with my team. I'd really appreciate your opinion on this matter. [link] [comments]  |

| Career Path Question -- Currently a Building Tech Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:36 PM PST Hey all, Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'll try to make it brief. I have my A+ and I got a job in a school district as a computer technician (in a singular building I handle most things if it doesn't touch the network or a server). I'm doing basic stuff helping end users while trying to learn as much as I can from the Server Admin and Network Admin. For about the last 8 months they have both been very helpful and I've slowly been given more and more control over different systems.
All of that to say... I don't really know what I want to do in the long run. I don't want to stay a building tech for more than about a year... but maybe I should longer? I'm curious what my actual possibilities are... I don't want to be a sysadmin, ours is miserable and he is terribly over worked and I know I don't want that. I am interested in Networking but worried about the actual job opportunities out there for me even if I got my ICND1 or CCNA (R+S?). Finally... I actually have a deep love of Data Science and I used to really like using R while I was in college (unrelated major, Social Work). It feels unlikely that I could even end up doing something like big data but I think I would really like that. I'm not in a position to go back to school... I've been looking into AWS as a possibility but don't know how viable that would be for me either and it seems like I would need to know a lot more about Linux and Python, which I only know basic stuff in Linux. I guess what I'm asking is... how hard is it to pivot into a real networking job? Can I get one with just my ICND or CCNA? Is data science even a possibility for me? Should I be looking into AWS more heavily the market seems to favor it and it might be a secure choice? What would you do if you were me? [link] [comments]  |
| Breaking into IT with General Studies Degree Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:06 PM PST I finished my bachelor's in general studies degree almost 6 months ago. I was originally going for an accounting degree but I have pretty bad ADHD and one particular class gave me a lot of trouble. I currently work as an assistant manager at a large movie theater and am the designated tech person on site. This means I'm basically the point of contact for our support team when we have issues, and I'm in charge of basic maintenance, upkeep, and troubleshooting for all our technology (projectors, manager PCs, POS terminals). I want to stress that this is mostly very basic stuff, level 1s have access to stuff that I don't, and if there's a projector problem I can't fix we have an technician/engineer on call. On the other hand, I have been encouraged to apply for that on call position before (I would have to move across the country and at the time I was still in school). TL;DR: I want to go into IT, and from the little exposure I've had, I'd probably say something on the network side. What jobs can I realistically get and what certifications should I be trying to get to aid me in getting said jobs? [link] [comments]  |
