| Performance review at developer job Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:36 AM PST I'm a self taught front end web developer. I started learning to code on my own in roughly 2016, managed to get a junior developer job at a local digital marketing agency in 2018. After 2 months the lead devleoper left, so I was left to work by myself and get the backlog of websites out. I did this, but was under awful pressure at the time. They weren't getting anymore website clients and decided to use wordpress elemental themes and no longer needed a developer. I heard from someone at the job that they were going to fire me. I then applied for a remote job at another digital marketing firm which I got after 3 interviews and a coding test. Since then, I passed my probation, they gave me a pay increase. Even though my salary is rubbish. I'm noticing the same pattern as before, they have stopped giving me sites to work on. Got me on documenting and making stupid reports. Now it looks as though they are going to be me on an informal pip. I have asked them what their concerns are about my work, but they never give me explicit reasons. The main developer has been talking about my work behind my back to the manager. He doesnt want to share information with me and is a control freak. He doesnt use git hub, or review my code. He just deleted stuff without my knowledge. I feel if I dont know what I've done, then how can I improve? Hes also self taught himself, and has had no one senior to him to review his work. Hes not perfect and makes mistakes but acts like a hero there, so gets away with it. My manager cant code, and believes his word over mine. They are now, constantly watching me and criticising me. This has knocked my confidence to pieces. I'm already introverted and have imposter syndrome. I've been contacted at a larger firm out of the blue and been invited for an interview. I just feel it might be worthless for me to pursue this, in case it leads to the same situation again. I don't know whether I should give up developing as a career. Or whether I have been unlucky and need a more supportive company. Has anyone else experienced this? Not sure whether this industry is too cut throat for me and I'm feeling disappointed with it all.

| How to handle potential job advancment Posted: 01 Mar 2020 07:17 AM PST So I am intern at mid size company about 150 employees and growing fast. This company has added about 50 or so in the last 4 or 5 months and part of the reason I was hired was to deal with the basic trouble shooting, the small it department they have of 3 employees. Long story short a few weeks ago they had discussions about what it would take for me to be full time. I told them like 18 hr so it would off set my weekend employment that pays more than the internetship. Just this past week a coworker thier was fired or quit abruptly from the department, I'm unsure my boss in the dept didn't want to tell me. So now they have 2 employees in the it department. In the last month or so my duties and user permissions have been expanded and such so I can actually do more than trouble shooting. So if they were to offer me a full time true sys admin for this company. Should I ask for more than that 18 given that they just fired a that coworker and I'd mostly likely be taking his duties over? Or should I just take it at that 18 hr then ask for a raise in 6 months when I'm done with my degree? Also I have essentially no certification other than my test out desktop I got though a class in college. Ultimately I'm looking to go into dev ops eventually for a career path, need to get some experience with coding and such first and real It experience so understand the scope of things.

| Can I start teaching myself AWS? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:59 AM PST I'm looking to switch careers to IT and it seems learning AWS is big deal. I'm good with technology and learning to use programs, but the closest thing I have to "programming" experience is doing POV ray in grade school. Would jumping straight into self teaching AWS be getting In Over my head? [link] [comments]  |
| Business analysts/Product owners with Cloud knowledge/certs? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:49 AM PST Hi community I've been a Business Analyst/Product Owner for the past 4.5 years on Salesforce based apps used internally by the company. I really enjoy working close with the business, developers and architects to ensure that new functionality on our products are solving the right problems and executed properly. How a system hangs together, defining requirements and coming up with solutions for new functionality and scalable architecture really interests me. With me wanting to future proof my career I started studying for the AWS Architect Associate cert. (Some attempts at practise exams show I'm nearly there). Ideally this would set me apart from other BAs/Product Owners when I look for a new job as it shows I can work with and understand thought process of Architects and Developers. However, I had a look at the local job site and there doesn't seem to be much demand for Business Analysts/Product Owners with cloud experience (and if there is it's more networking focused) but plenty of DevOps, Security, Cloud Engineers and Technical Architects which are all too techie for me and not on my career path as I eventually want to be a Head of Product for like a Netflix (for examples sake) Is my plan of obtaining the certs worthwhile or shall I be putting my focus else where? Have you come across people like me or is everyone in the AWS world in Devops, Architecture or Security? What is the career scope for pseudo techies like myself wanting to work in cloud? Thanks in advance team! [link] [comments]  |
| Amazon Interview STAR Method using an actual Question and Answer Posted: 29 Feb 2020 06:35 PM PST Created this video from my Amazon interview experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfhSuL5ANwc on how to answer interview questions using STAR method with an actual question and answer from AWS. This approach is good for other tech companies as well. Happy interviewing. [link] [comments]  |
| How to make a move (US to UK) from 2 man IT shop to corporate job? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:05 PM PST I'm currently working in the US, but am originally from the UK. Lately I've been thinking of moving back to be closer to aging family members and to spend more time back home. I have about 8 years IT experience, at three businesses but each time has been a 1 or 2 man IT shop. As such I'm a bit of a JoAT with a decent amount of knowledge in all aspects of the job, but no mastery of any single aspect. I'm not sure how to go about writing a CV and applying for jobs, or how to equate salaries (currently making around $55k USD). I'm also currently half way through an MBA program (concentration in IT management), that I will finish by the end of the year. Any advice is greatly appreciated [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:35 PM PST Hi everyone, I have been working in a NOC for a little over three years now. I am curious about becoming a cloud engineer. To be honest, it looks like everything I am interested in - more focus on network programmability while still using a lot of networking knowledge. How can I make the jump? I currently have my CCNA R&S and Fortinet's NSE4 Firewall cert. I also have been doing network automation projects (all in Python) for the last 1.5 ish years. I was planning on pursuing Cisco's devnet certification to continue to advance my programming skills... Anyways, how the hell can I bridge the gap from a NOC network admin at an MSP to cloud? An AWS or Azure cert? Is that enough, with my previous experience to get me a job as a cloud admin/engineer? Are junior positions easy to come by? [link] [comments]  |
| PSA: Microsoft retiring MCSE, MCSD, MCSA certs on 6/30/2020 Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:31 PM PST It's the end of an era; technology-specific, on-prem certs are going away in lieu of 365/cloud-focused, role-based certs. Hard to believe MCSE's won't be a thing anymore 😧 Build5Nines: Goodbye: MCSE, MCSD, and MCSA Certifications are Retiring [link] [comments]  |
| Advice on dealing with current role/salary Posted: 29 Feb 2020 08:13 PM PST Hi, I have been in a full time, level 2 i.t engineer role for a year and a half at a private company, with another year of part time deployment experience, during my final year at university. I have a degree in information science, majoring in software development, but I was unable to get a graduate developer role, so I took the engineer role. I am currently working on developing a chatbot, so I have a project against my name. As it is, there is only two of us in an office of 300+ and the rest of the team is offsite in another city. I find we end up having to cover alot of stuff that I believe, is outside of our role scope e.g developed training documents, conduct/ monitor video conferences, having to stay afterhours to fix broken pc docks, etc. I am at the point where I feel I may not be paid what I am worth, compared to my peers. I have found my other colleagues who maybe have 1 more year experience and getting paid at least 10k more than myself (currently on 55k), and I seem to be doing a lot of the work. I am only getting more and more frustrated, when I see how little work they actually do ( I have access to queue stats.) Myself and my colleague are always at the top, and the rest of the team( 6 others) are always at the bottom. I even put forward a business proposal for a chatbot, where I later found out, the firm already had one but no one to develop it. Now I have started to develop it to assist with level 1 desktop support. The chatbots framework already existed with a third party, but no one was willing to program it. I know I have a review coming up in the next few months and would want to see the development of the chatbot through, so I can put it on my CV, and get a development role somewhere, but I wanted to know how I could deal with not feeling valued and potentially underpaid. Am I being too pedantic about my salary? Do I just need to suck it up? Any advice would be much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 09:53 AM PST The cache22 is that in order for someone to get a security clearance (from what I've learned) is that you need to get a job. For someone who's unemployed, who's area heavily depends on clearances in order to get a job, is there any other way to get a clearance (that doesn't involve the military)? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:21 PM PST Good evening everyone! Every one always says that real world experience is the best way to understand what you are studying (while studying at a university or for a cert), which I totally understand. So, with that said, are there any simulators out there that allow us noobs a way to learn IT, the way you would learn it in a n IT job setting? If not, someone would make a killing creating something like this. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
