| Posted: 01 Sep 2019 07:52 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm working in the cloud sector at the moment and looking to build on my technical knowledge. I have no experience with azure apart from building vms. Things like app services, resource groups, market place, load balances etc are all new to me. I have server experience so have the IT background, can anyone suggest any advice for getting good st Azure? I am keen to learn and also any projects I could set up etc within a VM environment.

| What "not to do" when on boarding mid to senior level engineers - advice needed. Posted: 01 Sep 2019 03:28 AM PDT I'd like to know a few things that a team and on boarding staff shouldn't be doing or expect when on boarding mid to senior level engineers (e.g. developers, support, PMs, etc.). I have done some on boarding myself but since I've never gotten any meaningful feedback or the feedback was the technology stack is terrible (and that's after the new staffs have fully immersed themselves with the stack), I can only guess what's best (and bad) by my own views. Side tracking a bit; I do wonder if a new joiner should be so opened with their views on the stack or the team though. I do think it's not a good idea, even when you're just one year in, but I might be wrong in this. Anyway coming back to the main thread, any views or experience is welcome! Horror stories are also welcomed! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 12:58 PM PDT Hello all, I am hoping y'all can provide me with some advice and motivation as to where I should take my IT career next. Overall I am happy with where I am at but starting to feel my career go stagnant, and feel it's time to get ready to make a move in the next year or so. I am currently working as a L2 desktop support tech, making ~60k and working 50% remote. I have been given multiple performance awards and overburdened with projects. On certifications, I have a few expired cents, A+, N+, CC-ENT, 2 years experience in a NOC, 1 1/2 years in a TOC and current job 2 years. No degree, but did get a CA from a community college. I've got a bit of experience with scripting, AD, server admin, but have mostly been doing Windows client and Office break fix work. The company I am currently at has almost no path forward other than management and I have no interest in that. I am trying to get involved in the site support/infrastructure side with some results and I have been heading up an improvement project but given little support or time to make the required deadlines. My main worries are that as I look around for the next steps, pay doesn't seem to be much better than what I am currently making, and I would have to be in an office 5 days a week. I have a young child at home so I am able to take care of him while my wife works saving us the cost of daycare. He is old enough to a day care but any job I take would have to pay enough more to cover the expenses. Any advice on how to make that next leap, recommended certs? I have looked in to taking the MCSA and or AWS course [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:08 AM PDT Is DOD contract work, such as working at SAIC, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon different than working through contractors/recruiters such Robert Half, Aerotek or Teksystems? I feel like I'm using the word 'contract work' incorrectly to describe Robert Half type companies, yet you aren't directly working for the company the same as I was to work for SAIC and their DOD contracts. So, they are pretty much the same, just different 'employer' or are the differences day and night? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 06:03 PM PDT I am a college graduate and haven't been able to go to uni because of lack of funding/having to support my younger siblings family, but I have always enjoyed using computers and was wondering if it is still possible to get any computer related job by self learning key soft wares? I am beginning to wallow more and more in self pity by reading through this sub and am just wondering if there is any hope out there for someone who isn't an IT engineer but enjoys using computers daily and wants to make a living out of it. sorry for my really stupid question in advance.

| Hot to Get into IT and the pitfalls Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:57 AM PDT I am starting a Blog/Vlog that is to show how I got into IT from nothing known about IT, to Entry level and beyond! I will post here from time to time with the idea is that you get to see my Vlog as I go through the path to get Certs (CompTIA Certifications) and all the in between that I can VLOG about. I am doing this because I was unsure of what to do in getting into IT. I want to help by showing an older guy like me can get into the Career with opportunity in I.T. So I created rexitrex.com to blog and vlog and I hope that you get a few good clues as I show you my new life into IT. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:34 AM PDT I'm about to get my ccna in a few months, I also have A+ Net+ and LPI linux essentials. I also have no formal experience, worked freelance in Uni. Will a ccna be sufficient to get into something like a junior network tech role (in us major city)? Really trying to avoid helpdesk. [link] [comments]  |
| Are IT certs that are massively discounted worth it? Posted: 01 Sep 2019 08:14 AM PDT I keep seeing these certs for networking, or database, or whatever that say, "Get certified in insert field here" and the price is $997 but is discounted to $1. Are those legit or are those too good to be true. I keep seeing them on my facebook feeds. [link] [comments]  |
| Will this help me find a job ? Posted: 01 Sep 2019 01:36 AM PDT I'm not 100% sure that this is the right sub but I would love some guidance. I just started this semester in my community college doing a Web Application lvl 2 cert(classes are in the Imgur link). After finishing this semester I only need 2 more classes to finish my Web App cert and 3 more classes to finish the Database Admin cert. My worries are that I'm wasting almost 2 years on getting this certs and they will amount to not finding a job. My current goal is to finish this two certs and try to get a job as a Full-stack developer and maybe move into Cloud Computing. I would like to know your thoughts on my plan and your opinion on this certs any criticism is appreciated.(Not sure if useful info but I can program in c++ and python). https://imgur.com/a/xyBX2HY << Web Application lvl 2 cert classes and Database Admin cert [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2019 01:30 AM PDT I have been working for this company for almost a year and i have been attached to the client directly. The client has a huge international presence, but for my country, i am the only one handling the client ( i am the only IT guy on site) I have handle everything for daily user's cases to network to servers to even setting up a new for the client. My job is to ensure, BAU. So, technically networking and servers arent part of my job scope on paper, but i have to do it. but, tbh, in the beginning, i really like the job it was really challenging i loved it. I didnt mind staying late without OT. but as the time went by, this job has became really very mentally and physically exhausting (For e.g: i was called back to reservist a month ago for two weeks, and my company had sent 2 engineers down to handle to site while i was away, even then i had to answer calls and email non-stop) When i was attached to this client, the headcount of the staff was around 150, and 1 site. Right now its 250, its 2 sites (Walking distance though) The users here do not raise tickets, they directly approach me at my desk; and it get very irritating I dont have much time to eat, i usually have to eat way before lunch time around 10 am cuz; 2) Since i am alone, i have eat alone all the time, getting a seat at the food place e.g: Mac's is impossible during lunch (not related by yeah) I managed to get into a local university for a part time degree, and the university happens to be 2 station away (10 mins drive or cab away); i live in a city state My pay is Okay, not great but not bad as well TBH i dont blame my client, but i blame my company as they are stationed in another country and they dont know what is going on here. And they do not take into consideration that i am alone here and the time differences between me and them, so if i need some help, i have to wait hours or days before anything is done I dont know why, i am not expecting special treatment, but i am alone here so i ought to have certain things catered to me as the site i am handling is the main of the region, the SVP and VP are stationed here. And they are very demanding i am in a dilemma, if i should quit this place, and get something else, or just braise thru till i complete my degree and join the client directly [link] [comments]  |
| What is trending/in demand in Denver, CO? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 05:38 PM PDT Moving there next year, my brother lives there. What can I expect? When I do job searches there is a lot of jobs hiring, but I'm sure a lot of people are applying. Anyone have experience there? I suspect I might get voted down for asking, because some people really hate newcomers to Denver. I honestly just want to know what to expect there. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to land a network admin/engineer job right after I graduate with a B.S degree? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 09:57 PM PDT I live in Maryland, right between Baltimore and DC. I'm planning to graduate next spring with a bachelors in Information systems and also plan to get my CCNA in November as I recently passed my CCENT. I work as a telecom technician for my university's IT department, we troubleshoot phones and IP cameras. I've always been passionate about networking and just wondering if I'll be able to skip helpdesk role once I graduate and jump straight into a networking role [link] [comments]  |
| I'm someone still in high school but confused Posted: 31 Aug 2019 10:21 PM PDT A couple of things I'm confused about, I want a job in IT. Always have it just interests me but I'm not someone that wants to go to college, I just am not a school person AT ALL. I'm in my senior year (if it matters) and i was looking into trade schools and driving (CDL) which has always interested me but I'm circling back. Is a college education required for a job in IT or does it depend on the position? What's a good way to learn about the different career paths other then Google? I'm interested in like computer administration or what not. Just want answers as I'm still a young and confused kid. [link] [comments]  |
| How do you build a resume with no experience? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 02:43 PM PDT So I want to do an internship next summer but I don't have any prior experience in IT. The most experience I have is working at a grocery store (worked there for 3 years). I recently got certified with the Network + and I have some experience programming (for school work). How should I build my resume with no experience? Also, any tips for looking for internships or other ways to gain experience? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it a good idea to add random people on linkedin? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 09:30 PM PDT Most of my real life friends and classmates from college aren't on linkedin. With little to no connections on linkedin is it a good idea to add random people in my field? [link] [comments]  |
| Potential first job, but I'd have to quit my current semester of school. Posted: 31 Aug 2019 12:26 PM PDT I'm aiming this mostly at my Post 9/11 vets in the field as they have a firmer grasp of the cost/benefit analysis at play. I was approved for Voc Rehab and the coverage started on the 16th. I still have Chapter 33 left so I'm still rating $2,500/mo housing, total coverage of books (still need to apply for a laptop). An MSP came through 2 days ago to potentially recruit students for a help desk position. Their offices are close to the school (and my apartment), which is key because I get everywhere by bike (epilepsy). They explained the position, asked for questions and I was the only one who raised a hand. I asked them how willing they were to accommodate a work/school balance as they were recruiting from a classroom. They said it was a full-time position with benefits and that they encouraged employees to study during downtime on the clock, but that it would be five days a week, 9 - 6 and it would be up to us to negotiate a class schedule around that. I haven't so much as sent my resume in, but no one asked for a card but me, so I don't feel like I'm going to have much competition. I'm scheduling dates for my Net+, A+ and P+ exams over the next couple weeks so I'll have fresh certs but basically zero real-world experience. We're past the add/drop period for my day-time classes so I'd not only lose half my housing stipend, I may even end up owing the VA money for tuition (it'd only be ~$600). If you guys were in my position, would you move on the job or stick with school? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2019 12:41 PM PDT My current job has a very unique job title, so I am not sure exactly what the career path is for me. Basically, my job is to provide over the phone/email/chat technical support to clients on medical-related products (2-3). I do have a bachelor's. What is the career outlook and specific positions that people in this type of position go for after working for a year or two? [link] [comments]  |
| Should I include unpaid helpdesk position in my resume that I haven't started yet? Posted: 31 Aug 2019 04:13 PM PDT I just got this unpaid helpdesk position for a university club that does free tech support for university events and students. I am currently applying to paid helpdesk positions (need the money); should I include this position I just landed on my resume even though I haven't started it yet? [link] [comments]  |
