| How to deal with bosses stuck in their way Posted: 29 Dec 2019 06:37 AM PST I took my first it job last year. I was hired for patch management. They did not have anything set up and my job is to update over 100 windows servers by hand. We do not even have a wsus server. I've been met with heavy resistance with out being told no directly about automating anything. I've been met with disinterest or told that doing it manually is better. I'm at the end of my rope and I feel like my time is wasted. [link] [comments]  |
| What can I do to get my foot in the door in IT, is a college education worth it? Posted: 29 Dec 2019 03:01 AM PST I m looking to get some advice/ a second opinion on what I should do to to get into the IT field . Im 22 and have worked the last 4 years in retail/ customer service as a department coordinator and have no college education or formal job experience in IT. I'm currently studying to take the CompTIA A+ exam and also plan to do Network+ and Security+ this year. I know it's going to be hard to find a job with just certifications and I would like to go to college to pursue an associates in networking or information technology , I'm just wondering if it's worth the money/time to even get a degree ? Side note: I have alot of personal background knowledge of computers and have built quite a few systems of my own / ran local servers / have experience with networking from highschool , but I don't feel it's enough to get me a job in the field.

| How to find out if my security clearance is still valid? Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:50 AM PST I received a secret clearance when I enlisted in the military in 2009. I was honorably discharged in 2017. How would one find out if the clearance is still valid and can I re-activate it on my own? I ask because I'm looking at civilian cyber security jobs that require a clearance. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 07:00 AM PST Hey everyone! Just curious of what you may think. I have a B.S in Information Technology and I am interested in getting in the field of either Database Admin or Networking Admin. My real question is what is more on demand? Whats next up the ladder from starting out as a Database Admin or a Networking Admin to earn a good living in the future? Looking at some Entry Level for both, it seems Database Admin starts up a little higher salary but would Networking Admin be better long term? Looking for suggestions and I am open for other IT jobs too. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:01 AM PST I've been big into computers for as long as I can remember. My grandmother worked at Compaq when they were first getting off the ground and inspired my infatuation with computers. Since then, I was the unofficial 'IT guy' at my school before I dropped out, but never had a paid IT position. I've built multiple computers in the past for myself and for friends, and I'd like to think I'm decently knowledgeable in the general field. I try to keep up to date with news and new things. I currently work full time at a job I strongly detest and would very much like to switch over to the IT field. I don't know much about how to get into the field, though, and looking around I've found a lot of things that require like 5+ years experience in the IT field, which I do not have. So far I've been doing practice examps for Comptia A+ and doing pretty well (networking is my weakest point). tl;dr I want to get into the IT field, have personal but no professional experience in the field, and want to get a job in it.

| Posted: 28 Dec 2019 06:11 PM PST So im questioning working at a large corporation as a desktop support tech. I took a job working at a large corporation to get enterprise experience and be able to work with large systems. While i do get some admin experience, through server backups / active directory / file restoration etc. Everthing else is split into different teams and put behind red tape. It might be me just not liking the corporate culture of things. Is it worth it to stick around and have a big company on my resume or should i jump ship and try to find a smaller company where i could get more experience. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2019 08:54 PM PST Howdy y'all! Long story short, I graduated with a degree in 2016 with my B.S. in hospitality management, thinking I wanted work in it when I first graduated. I went from not wanting to do that and work in advertising, to fashion, to advertising again, to finally realizing I want to get into the tech industry (which was inspired by 1 drunken night watching Silicon Valley believe it or not lmao). Let me also preface with the fact that 1) I definitely want to learn how to code at some point and 2) I understand this job (or any job within the tech industry) isn't going to randomly double my salary and 3) I have always been interested in computers, coding, networks, and developing, but I always figured that you had to have a degree in it/be incredibly talented with computers. I'm wanting to gain a skill in something that I've been relatively interested in for a while now. I'd mainly like to learn how to code for front-end web development stuff. A lot of my experience pertains to customer service, client success, and relationship building, though I'm kind of wondering which route to go in the IT world with my experience. I've mainly worked in retail, customer service, social media, and operations roles (hotel, stores, restaurants, internships, etc) for 8-9ish years, so I have a TON of experience in that. From when I'm writing this post, I have another round of interviews in a couple of days in a hospitality tech company (the role I'm interviewing for is Customer Support Specialist), though as I was talking to the recruiter about what exactly would I want to do. I told her I'm interested in account management in the long run (which I am), however I'm also looking at all the other pathways and trying to see which would be the most accurate with my background. I also looked at the pathway thread and maybe going towards the business analyst/project management route sounds good? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I want to get a head start on all of this in case I need to get some certifications (Which, if anyone would happen to know any that might be good for beginners/to start working on, that'd be amazing). p.s. I guess if it helps any, I'm out of Dallas, TX. [link] [comments]  |

| What Skills Should I Try to Pick Up Over the Next Month? Posted: 28 Dec 2019 01:12 PM PST Recently had an IT interview for a "level 1.5" help-desk position and was told thanks but no thanks. I have a strong feeling that my technical skills were the primary reason I wasn't offered the job. I have always felt that I am the opposite of norm when it comes to IT; my retail jobs I have had have really refined my customer service / soft skills but I'm just not where I'd like to be when it comes to the technical side of things. For a good gauge, I currently have my associates and A+. What skills would you guys recommend I try and pick up over the next month I have off school? I'm hoping to get the Network+ cert obtained before the end of my spring semester, and I want to mix in some sort of self study along with that. Right now I'm looking at maybe creating documentation for Windows Server 2019 and maybe some PowerShell. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Dec 2019 04:26 PM PST I've been studying CCNA for about a year. ICND1 I've got down, but I need more time to master ICND2. I know the test is revamped Feb 22nd. I have a military exercise for a month in Feb. I decided to study for Net+ because that's not changing anytime soon. How much cross over is there? So far I noticed cabling is much more intense in Net+. Am I good or should I treat this like a new cert? [link] [comments]  |

| Questions about most common Mcsa and Mcse certifications. Posted: 28 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Okay you, IT tech ninjas, I want to get into IT field but there's a lot of different things to get and I'm trying to find out the most common certifications to get specifically M.c.s.a. and M.c.s.e. or any others. I see there's a lot of different stuff and I don't want to waste time studying and spending money on things I won't get hired to do. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
