| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:49 AM PST Howdy everyone, I just had a couple of questions about entry level pay. A company is hiring @ $17/hr for full time + benefits, but will require overnight travel, is on call M-F, and potentially other problems (not everything is listed. Listing says to inquire within). The company is Summit Restaurant Group and I was just curious if this was normal for entry level or if this was maybe low. Any information helps! [link] [comments]  |
| Since Microsoft got rid of MCSE, MCSA, SQL Certificates, what certificates should we get now? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:26 PM PST Are the role based certificates worth it? Should I just do more Linux+ certificates? What should I do? [link] [comments]  |
| Typical IT burnout - looking outside of internal IT Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:55 AM PST Like many other IT pros - I've spent the last 9 years in IT, 7-8 in a couple different support roles and I've spent the last year in an IT Manager role for a small company. I thought taking the next step and getting to work with the network, servers, internal infrastructure would light a new fire in me. I was wrong. Still a dull feeling every day. Don't want to go to work. Go home feeling like I didn't accomplish anything and feel like the work I'm doing goes unnoticed and unappreciated. "Blah" is the best way to describe my current state. I enjoy technology and want to stay in the field, I'm starting to look for roles that leverage a technical background outside of day to day teching. Any recommendations on roles, job titles, or what I should be looking at? Or do I just keep grinding and hope that things turn around in my favor? [link] [comments]  |
| App Ideas for Azure; Good Job Experience? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:17 AM PST Hi All, Appreciate this group. I'm reading that Azure is the future. Plunking around on their site, I learned that you can download and use much of it free, at least to start. I have some ideas for apps that I think would get traction in the marketplace. Would getting my login, and creating something be a valid way to practice and gain IT experience for a job down the line? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Need help with interview today, involving devops tools and Kubernetes Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:40 AM PST I got a third interview for a neat company and was informed Friday morning. I asked what this one would entail and they just got back to me this morning about my interview this afternoon in about 4 hours. They're going over all stuff I didn't do well on or didn't have experience with. Any good quick training or overview material on DevOps tools like Ansible or Chef as well as Kubernetes? I'm just doing a google search on all of this, but due to the timeline I'm hoping you guys have some good articles (in an all day meeting, so I can only do videos during lunch) that'll help with those topics. I have a general understanding of what they do, but that's it. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Advice for Student of Business Informatics Posted: 02 Mar 2020 04:35 AM PST Hello everyone, I'm a student in Germany studying the field of Business informatics / Business Information Systems (B.Sc.). I am in my 6th Semester and recently completed a SAP Consulting internship at a big german corporation. I like the field of Consulting and ERP Consulting but would like to develop some new skills. I would love to become a product manager eventually or move to the field of technical pre-sales. I now am wondering what are some essential books / online Courses or projects to do to keep developing my knowledge in computer science or Information technology. Please feel free to share your experiences. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 04:31 AM PST As everyone has done in their career, I have been job hunting since October of 2019 and have had one interview. I was told that I need to "show up" and all of that. But I am not too sure how to do that. Should I go and send a separate email for each of the companies when I applied off of indeed, ziprecruiter, or monster? I really do not know what I am doing and I could really use some good pointers. [link] [comments]  |
| How do I get started w/ no college? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 05:48 PM PST I just dropped out of college for personal reasons. I'm considering pursuing something in tech for the first time in my life, but I know next to nothing about it. I'm a female who's been raised in an area where that basically wasn't even an option to pursue, but I have supportive parents. I'd prefer to start with certification(s). What would you recommend I do? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| What is an entry level IT pay in London UK? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:57 AM PST I have worked non IT jobs before which paid slightly above minimum wage and I was wondering if there was a difference for fresh out of uni students in a related role. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 07:39 AM PST I'm about to finish college in about 3 months. I will have my A+, net+ and ccna and I am gunning for the new Azure certs as they come out. I am super excited to start applying to entry level positions and I just want to get an idea of how much my salary would be as a level 1 help desk. I've tried looking at Glassdoor, but it only has entries from one or two people. Honestly, my pay expectations are fairly low given my current work experience, I'd be happy with 37k and ecstatic with 40k. If anyone has any info on what I can expect, it would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:34 AM PST Hi folks. I'm a 40ish-year-old who's tired of my current career and has always been interested in IT and whatnot (term used to greatly simplify this post). I see a lot of ads and have read articles about changing careers, boot camps, IT certifications, and decided that before I spent any cash on anything I'd ask - can I REALLY get hired into the tech industry this far out of college (which I didn't actually graduate from - high school diploma only) with 20 years of unrelated work on my resume? I'm mostly interested in frontend-backend web programming (IIRC the term I should use is 'full-stack'), but I also love working on computers and networking as a hobby and would not be against getting A+/N+ certified. Plus the boot camps are expensive as hell and would be hard to pull off while working full time as well. All advice and council is welcome, even if it crushes my dreams and fragile spirit.

| Resume Critique, Network Engineer Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:23 AM PST Kinda curious about it, also would anyone know what payrate I would even be worth since that seems to be asked of me a lot on job submissions? [link] [comments]  |
| Best Resource for New IT Folks Posted: 01 Mar 2020 01:01 PM PST Hi all, I'm a Computer Science grad, so a lot of my education was more around programming, OS's, data structures, and software design. And honestly, I got my degree late in life. However, I am out of college and actually more in the support side of the business. This being IT support. I'm a little bit knowledgeable but still, find myself often lost in this world. Thinks like proxy addresses, firewalls ports, active directory, networks, DNS records, name servers, all that are something I am constantly learning whereas I feel like my counterparts are pretty well versed in this like they learned it when they were 12. What I am asking is what considered the best "over-all" or "all-encompassing" resource out there that can start giving me that big picture of all the systems in IT and how they are related. I'm not looking for like a Comp TIA test really, but more like something that is almost like the "bible" of the IT world. MANY THANKS to any helpful insight or feedback. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Beginning to feel hopeless about an internship Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:07 AM PST Hi all, I'm approaching my senior year in the fall and have been looking for summer security analyst (at this point anything) internships since mid November. I've applied to close to 40 places, one being a University with a very strong cyber team that does external work. I went to a job fair and actually ran in to a woman who does hiring for said company, spoke with her, she took my resume and circled me saying she'd get me to the manager's desk. I followed up a week later, all of that was over a month ago. No word, and my resume still hasn't been viewed on their website either. I've tweaked my resume, looks the best it ever has. I've sent check-up emails to employers and have been active on LinkedIn and so on, but still nothing. I realize it's only March but I'm beginning to feel hopeless. One fear I had about my school I attend was the lack of hands-on training and I feel like that is biting me in the ass now. I have a solid theory base, have done tons of policy/contingency stuff (portfolios for both that I will gladly bring to interviews if I get them), composed several (what I believe to be) strong audit reports, have done penetration tests in sandbox environments, worked extensively with NIST/ISO, and have done some outside learning for the technical side (5 Udemy courses: python, bash, etc.). Aside from a basic "ethical hacking" course I haven't had many hands on courses, all of my technical skills have been learned on my own time or outside of class. The only person who contacted me was from a different University who I was speaking with, saying they can't do internships right now as they're in the midst of migrating security resources, but he would spread my name around. I appreciated that they at least told me and agreed that I don't want an internship where I'd just be sitting around. I guess I'm just getting a little frustrated and worried, I realize it's still early and summer is 2+ months away but it seems that everyone around me is getting interviews and offers while I have yet to hear anything. I don't doubt my skills, and maybe I'm shooting too high looking for analyst positions and should be shooting for help desk stuff. So if anyone has some advice or words of comfort I would greatly appreciate it, thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| Is the Google IT Support cert worth anything? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:44 PM PST Surely this has been asked before, but is that Google IT Support Specialist online certification really worth anything? Does it hold any type of significance? I doubt I'll ever take it, but I constantly see ads for it & I'm just curious if anyone in here has taken it & if its helped them as far as getting a job goes [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:38 AM PST I was curious if you guys had any opinions on which would be a better online school for IT or cyber security degrees. Right now I'm looking at Purdue global for the IT bachelors. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 01:42 AM PST I am a senior undergrad. Content of my degree with all the courses i've taken.
I would also like to know if any of the jobs will have potential to be done remotely if i am overseas, because that is my future goal (within 5 years)?
If not, please suggest a few careers that I could transition to (knowing my background). I am learning web development on the side currently (as a backup) but I am wondering if there is something more flexible to learn and transition to and meets the "potential for remote overseas work" criteria? So far, the only technical skills i have include a comptent level of html, css, js, c++, and a novice level of sql, python, and r. And a lot of business knowledge. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 04:27 AM PST Two and a half weeks ago I had an hour and a half interview, the first was a two on one, and the next was a one one, the the director of the company had a phone interview with me. Everything went well, and the director (Kim) said that she wanted to be transparent, and that they liked me and it was more of a formality that she called. I have yet to hear anything. I was in contact with their recruiter Lauren, and I wanted to know how to email Lauren about the position and to see where I am. I am looking at other recruiters as well. I don't want to make it seem like I am sitting and twiddling my thumbs for them, and show that other people are looking at me. How do I go about this? Sorry I am not too sure how to word anything.

| Civilian desktop support roles in the greater DC area? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:17 AM PST Hello ITCQ, I currently work in a hospital as a "do it all" support specialist. Desktop support, network tech, MDM/Token/AD/SSO administration, building specialty medical workstations, resolving EMR issues, and I take part in our on call rotation. My pay is decent ($25/hr, 55k+ w/ overtime/on call) and my benefits are amazing. But, due to some family health issues, I started applying to jobs in the DC-Baltimore area a month ago. I'd like to be closer to family, have more than enough money to relocate, and have nothing tying me to my current location. Health, education, non-profits, and law firms have been my focus. I don't have certs, but I do have experience working on freelance platforms, a BA, 3+ years exp installing and supporting POS systems for a restaurant group, and 9 months working in a computer lab help desk. I have more retail and hospitality experience on top of those "IT" roles Unfortunately, I am getting zero responses to my applications. I have a detailed one page resume, submit a custom cover letter explaining that I have housing in the area and can relocate quickly, and have started reaching out to hiring managers and CIO types directly using a LinkedIn Premium trial. I am not sure what else I should be doing. My personality is pretty chill, but I have become anxious thinking I am not as employable as I tell myself. An obvious solution would be to go get Net+ and Sec+ to increase my odds, but it seems the DC area is far more competitive than I thought. If you have any advice, or know of some openings I am not seeing, please share advice. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| Senior Analyst or Solutions Engineer II Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:34 AM PST TL;DR: Solutions Enginner II at new company or Sr. Analyst at existing company. Similar pay. Hi all, Hoping for some input from those with experience in the IT field. Need to decide today to accept a Solutions Engineer II role (no senior title) at a new company or Senior IT Business Analyst at my current company. Pay would be similar. I want to make myself more valuable in the marketplace moving forward, and prepare for pursuing an MBA or data science master's. I enjoy my team currently but we are so understaffed that there is little room to grow my skillset. The solutions engineer II role would be on a bigger, more established team. I just fear I am making a horizontal (or somewhat backwards) step by not accepting the Sr. Analyst role. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Is Sever Software Knowledge and experience needed for AWS or Azure positions? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:28 AM PST I am somewhat Lost on how the cloud works. I always thought server knowledge was needed to work with Azure, or AWS. However, Microsoft removed the MCSA certification, and to me makes Windows Server seem insignificant. My questions: 1) Do you need to have a lot of Sever knowledge and experience to work with AZURE and AWS? For example, do you need system admin experience to work in a cloud position? 2) Is it pretty easy to spin up AWS or Azure for a company, or is there a lot of planning involved? 3). Is Windows Server going away? Will there be a Windows Server 2023? Microsoft makes it seem that learning Windows Server is worthless [link] [comments]  |
