| I'm good with computers and I need to turn my life around Posted: 04 Feb 2020 04:12 AM PST Hello IT people, For a long time people have told me I should find a career in IT simply because I'm on a computer 12-15+ hours a day and am the go-to guy for relatives needing technological assistance. Obviously this doesn't mean jack to people who have actually studied the profession, but I'd like to think that I'd pick up on these kinds of things quickly if I tried to learn. I need a new career path and I want to make a good salary. What career options do I have, what certifications do I need and what is my path?? I feel so overwhelmed when looking into the IT field because there are so many different options and so many certifications. I don't know where to start. Please help! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Feb 2020 08:27 PM PST So I would like to know what are some good projects or how to get experience working with networks and servers. [link] [comments]  |
| Hey Guys, whats a good weakness to say you have in an interview? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 06:36 AM PST The only ones i can think of that apply to me is that i ask a lot of questions but only because i dont want to make any crucial mistakes. I dont know if this is a good thing to say or the best way to word it? [link] [comments]  |
| Entry level info sec analyst jobs seem to pay less than level 1 help desk? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 09:03 AM PST Hi, I make about 60k a year not including bonuses/match in help desk, but entry level info sec seem to shaft you on pay here in nyc, with many job requirements. Multiple entry level info sec jobs pay 50-60k here with worse match. Would you take a pay cut to get into cybersecurity? [link] [comments]  |
| Foundation SQL certifications... Posted: 04 Feb 2020 08:11 AM PST I've been teaching myself SQL over the past few months, using an online Udemy course, and keen to get certified. I'm interested in the data analytics side of things - what initial certifications would you recommend? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 09:47 AM PST Hey everyone! Long time lurker 4th time poster here with a question about schooling. I'm a full time support technician at a small-medium sized company that unfortunately pays very well for the amount of work we do. I've been toying with the idea of going back to school for the 3 year program which includes 3 co ops. My end goal is system/cloud administrator. Just wanted the community's thoughts on the program. https://www.fanshawec.ca/programs/cty2-computer-systems-technology/next [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 09:47 AM PST Would moving from internal IT as a system admin to a Premiere support job with Microsoft as an Engineer (tier 3) be considered an upgrade in your opinion? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 09:22 AM PST So I have been looking for work after graduation and putting my resume everywhere I can. Yesterday, I got a call from a an IT placement/recruitment company in NJ asking me if I'd take a job in a nearby town. I thought it was odd because I did not apply to that job, and they weren't even asking for an interview, they just wanted to know what pay rate would be acceptable. Then I got several calls, texts, and emails saying to sign the forms immediately. And then today I got a call/email from from another recruiter company in CA asking me to do the same thing for the same company in the nearby town! I do not know what's going on, but it feels fishy. Has anyone experienced this before? *ONE, not on (in title) [link] [comments]  |
| Pre Sales Engineer: How Much Exp. Needed? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 08:49 AM PST I have over 12 years sales experience and would like to explore all options as I enter the IT field. I'm a career changer so I don't have 10 years to gather experience before moving on to a Pre Sales engineer position. I also see they hire fresh college grads for this position as well. But that's not me. What's the min. years experience needed for professionals? I like hands-on tech so I don't want to strictly be a sales person. TLDR: Have you seen people with 1-2yrs experience transfer to Pre Sales Engineers? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 08:39 AM PST I never really see IT work (non-coding) that is part time. Is this something that exists? My wife's business is booming and I could do with supporting her a few days a week... However, my current employer wouldn't have any of that. Is it a pipe dream? I don't want to give up IT, and losing my salary entirely wouldn't really be an option... [link] [comments]  |
| What question can I expect in a IT assistant/Junior software engineer interview? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 08:03 AM PST I had a phone interview asking general questions about me and now I have an on-site interview coming up. The person from HR on the phone told me I can expect a lot of PHP questions and and some other stuff from the job description. Here is the job description: https://imgur.com/a/CxBhOKz [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 07:04 AM PST I ant to set up a home lab to get some hands-on experience with ethical hacking. My budget is probably going to be around $300. HP used to be the best liked servers. What is the standard now? What should I be looking for in specs? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 06:41 AM PST Applied for an IAM job posting with a company called Aristasys, that stated that it was local to me. I can't find much info on the company, except for an older looking website. They then emailed me and said "The job is closing today" and then stated that the job is in Bellevue, WA. I'm in South Carolina atm but would be willing to move if I could. Something doesn't seem right. Has anyone run into these guys? [link] [comments]  |
| Cyber Threat Analyst interview questions? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 06:19 AM PST Hi all, I've applied for a cyber threat analyst position and was wondering what are some common questions that could be asked in the interview? It will be my first interview since I left the military, I am finishing my degree this May. From what I can tell, the job is somewhat entry level and I would be working in a SOC. Some of the keywords in the job posting are: -Threat Hunting, blue or purple teaming -MITRE ATT&CK Matrix -Scripting (Perl or Python) -Forensics investigations, data recovery, electronic discovery -monitoring and analysis of security system data -firewalls, VPN, web filtering, SIEM systems, email filtering Any advice for the interview would be greatly appreciated! I am a little intimidated by the position but am very excited. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 05:45 AM PST Good day to the beautiful world we live in, with the love of people who unite us. I'm currently working at a telecommunications company, as an IT Specialist. I was interning (paid) for about a year here, until they hired me full time. My client are INTERNAL users, so I physically go around our small office (50 - 60 people) to help troubleshoot any issues relating to our phones, computers, printers, etc. I love it here. Perfect view of the Potomac river with the Washington Monument looking right at us. I couldn't have asked for a better job with no college degree or certs...I'm extremely great at customer service, which our IT department dearly needed since we are working with internal clients. The work environment is beyond amazing, everyone is friendly and chill.. in short words. I'm 24 and i'm curious as to what should I do to progress my career? What more is there to go as being a Support Specialist? What knowledge should I primarily focus on other than the A+ Cert....I want to expand my knowledge to become more aware of technology. I'm comfortable where I am at , but I also want to show my boss I can learn things, I just feel stuck. [link] [comments]  |
| Moving to Birmingham - looking for recommendations and general advice Posted: 04 Feb 2020 05:26 AM PST Hello All! I've posted here before about this but now I am trying to get a real good feel for the job market in Birmingham. My fiance took a job at UAB and now I am officially moving there in 3 months and need to get my job searching priorities in check. Currently I work for a University in Georgia as an Engineer and upper level System Support Specialist. My job ranges from creating images and managing license servers to managing a print server all the way to little things like helping users in Office applications. I've been a lead in our Windows migrations as well as managed some software applications/deployments through SCCM for our Engineering students. Also I'm pretty crafty in Power shell and have programming experience in Java, C++, and Batch. I am not trying to make this a resume of course but I am curious what the market and life is like for your day to day experience in Birmingham - things in terms of salary, cost of living, ect. Are jobs a plenty? From LinkedIn and Glassdoor I see a lot of work, and based off my trips to the city over the last year or so I feel its growing a lot there - I know UAB has been. Also are there any recommendations for experience I should be looking into receiving in these last 4 months before applying for jobs. I currently have no degree but +5 years experience in the IT field. I am in school and very close to finishing (still though I will probably not be finished before I move). Its been a while since I have had to apply and interview but I am a bit anxious mainly because I do not want to fall into a job I'm going to hate just because I have to find work. So I figured I would ask Reddit since most folks in this sub come off as extremely honest and helpful! Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Has anyone certified with Infor for HCM/Human Capital Management Implementation? Posted: 04 Feb 2020 05:08 AM PST I'm currently studying for the Infor HCM Global HR 83 certification exam, but I've found close to zero information online about it. Has anyone taken this exam that would be willing to share their experience? I'm looking for study tips, how hard is the exam, what materials helped you best, etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 04:49 AM PST Hello everyone, I am really confused about this and I want to ask your opinion. I have been working as a software engineer in Big-4 accounting firm since last three months and I have total 2 years of experience. Previously, I worked at Banking industry with 20% low pay compare to this job and that was the biggest motivation for me to change the job. My current job is making me miserable right now, I work over 10-12 hours daily and it feels like it's still not enough to my employer. I left my previous job on a good terms and I am still in contacts with my previous boss/manager. My question is that would it be a better idea to go back to my previous job? I think the money is not an important factor at this point, I need a good work-life balance at this point. [link] [comments]  |
| DevOps wave is taking over.... Posted: 03 Feb 2020 10:57 AM PST So my entire organization is moving towards "everything" as code. People (non-admins) are touting change or get fired. Just feeling very anxious. I can code and have been a member of the organization doing some basic metrics and scripting for about 10 years... has anyone else seen this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2020 03:46 AM PST Graduating this May. Have no experience but have a Sec+ certification on top of my Bachelors. Have gotten 0 luck from employers for entry / internship positions. Am I better leaving off job experience that is irrelevant ? I've posted a resume check before on here and I got great advice just wanted to follow up as I've sent probably 300 applications. Thanks! Quick profile : IT Major (3.5 major gpa) CompTIA Sec+ Cert Student job (1.5 years, unrelated to IT) Landscaping job Thanks again! [link] [comments]  |
| Questions on breaking into IT in Boston, MA as a recent graduate Posted: 03 Feb 2020 05:54 PM PST Just got my BS in Info Systems this last December, I'm living in Western Mass but trying to move to Boston. I'm not really sure how to make the transition or what to expect, both in finding an entry level position and in moving to Boston. I've had a string of unsuccessful interviews for a few different kinds of positions, but right now I'm just targeting help desk/desktop support jobs. Currently working on getting the AWS Associate Solution Architect cert, as I've studied it a bit while still in school and it's something I would want to transition into sometime in the future. Have a couple of pretty unimpressive internships and no other certs. I was wondering what I can do to make myself a better candidate for the kinds of positions I'm going after, and what to expect. Should I pursue more certs? I've read through the wikis here and whatnot, I'm just hoping for advice on my specific situation - current IT trends in Boston, tips for someone trying to find entry level work there when they don't live there, etc. I'm also having a hard time trying to figure out the logistics of moving and what I would be able to afford. How likely would it be to find a $50k/yr entry level job? What kind of financial/living situation should I expect if I'm only living on $45k? I'm currently looking at relocating to the Allston/Brighton/Brookline area but I'm keeping my options open. Appreciate any insight, sorry if I'm beating a dead horse with these topics but this has been a very frustrating experience so far and I'm trying to use all the resources I can to figure this out.

| Has anyone noticed an uptick of 1099 contract offers ? Posted: 03 Feb 2020 08:44 PM PST Not sure if it's just in my area, but I've noticed a lot of contracting companies are now offering 1099 contracts instead of W2. I think they've just figured out another way to maximize profits and help those margins grow. Five years ago I feel like this was a far more rare occurrence [link] [comments]  |
