| Offices opening up and not sure how to handle this Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:29 AM PDT I work in IT in a state that is reopening its economy pretty much all the way this week. I have been working remote since about Mid March. I spoke with my boss about continuing this last week and she said she's good with it for atleast another week and that beyond that we can work something out between the two of us. I have no idea what this line means as to whether or not they're open minded or just being nice. I am the only person that reports to my supervisor so it's not like I can follow the lead of my teammates. I am growing increasingly worried that I am about to get asked to come back in and I just flat out don't feel it's safe to do so. We're in a shared building and our restrooms are used by several other companies. If I go in, I will not be able to see my family for months. My mom is over 60 and asthmatic, my brother is a type 1 diabetic. I've only been at this job 4 months so it's not like I have any pull. I don't want to be "that guy" asking for special treatment but I truly have been more productive than I've ever been. The last few weeks I've made extra effort to CC my boss on support issues that I resolve to give her an idea of the rate at which I'm both responding to problems as well as solving them. I get the sense that the company overall frowns on remote work, but my boss is a little more open minded. I am fairly new to career type jobs and am struggling to figure out how to handle this appropriately. I want to word it in a way that I'm not making demands but that I am interested in keeping my work arrangement as is for the time being. I can't decide if I need to let this ride and wait for my boss to reach out to me or if I need to reach out to them. I struggle here because we had just spoke about this last week, but given that I haven't received a clear guidance on what to do, it keeps coming up in my mind. It's causing me a lot of anxiety. TL;DR: Offices at my job are opening up over the next few weeks. I had a brief discussion about working from home atleast until Mid May but want to continue doing so. How do I handle this with my supervisor? [link] [comments]  |
| Skills needed for Linux administration? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:58 AM PDT Hi guys, I'm a junior in college studying computer information systems. I recently was introduced to Linux and I'm absolutely in love, and am planning to make Linux administration and cloud system operations a career. With everything going on I decided that I'm dedicating this summer to learning and getting certifications. I would like to know the skills needed to become a Linux system admin as well as some certifications to start looking at. Also wondering if there are any sys admins available, so that I can ask questions about the job. Thank y'all so much! [link] [comments]  |
| Amazon is still hiring for IT and SDE roles. Posted: 30 Apr 2020 08:44 AM PDT For those out there trying to find a job in these dark times, just wanted to remind you all that Amazon is still hiring. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 05:19 AM PDT Hey everyone, so I'm looking to get this cert as soon as possible and I'm just curious if anyone could give me a bit more direction on what exactly to study for this. It seems to me that it's an easier test compared to CCNA or even Network+ however I just can't seem to find any halfway decent guides online that outline exactly what knowledge is needed. Thanks!

| Need a career advice! a System Administrator to a Developer? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:18 AM PDT Hi All, To introduce myself a little, I am currently working as an IT system administrator and have about 5 years of experience within the industry (including helpdesk support experience). I did not major in CS or Engineering but was fortunate enough to get my foot in the door into the IT field with several certifications that I owned/own (CCNA, MCSA, LPIC and etc.) However, I've now lost my interest in system administrator role and geared my interest towards programming/developing. I've just started self-studying HTML/CSS and Javascript last week and loving the fact that I can create something out of nothing! I've just turned 33 years old and with 5 years of IT experience on my shoulder, I don't know if it's a good idea to make this career shift. Are there anyone who turned themselves into a developer from a system administrator background? Would it be difficult for me to land a job without any prior experience on developing? For those of you who has a similar experience, how did you manage to maintain your sys admin role and study programming at the same time? I am currently studying for my next AWS certification while working on HTML/CSS. I don't know if I should go "all-in" on programming but at the same time, I don't want to completely burn the bridge on my sys admin career "yet". Should I go all-in on programming and simply maintain my current role? I would greatly appreciate any experience or recommendations on this career shift! Plus, are there any websites that I can pretty much sit or lurk around on developing/programming? Stack Overflow and Github (which I don't know how to utilize yet) are the only sites that I know of (and of course Reddit as well!) I apologize for having too many questions but I would greatly appreciate any feedbacks! :) [link] [comments]  |

| Service Desk or Background Investigator? Which is better in the long run? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 06:19 AM PDT I just finished college and got an offer for two jobs, Service Desk or Background Investigator. Which Is Better In The Long Run? I have a security+ certification and want to build a career in the security field. edit: degree is political science. help desk would be private, investigator would be government/contractor [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:51 AM PDT I'm finishing up my first year of a two year associates program. I'm attending for IT networking, and haven't felt comfortable enough to shoot for any certs yet.. was going to wait until third/fourth semester to work toward any of those. My question is.. when is a good time to start applying to helpdesk/entry roles? I've been managing my own troubleshooting/custom PC business with a small clientele, but no formal experience or IT work. Due to covid-19 the job I was supposed to start at has deferred its hiring for the time being. Thing is, I need a job sooner than later (like most people). I live in Wisconsin, so not a hub for technology, but the IT jobs exist. Just looking for a little guidance, my resume is on point.. just curious if there are any extra steps I can take to land a gig, or just have to be patience.. TL;DR. How did you land your first Help Desk job? & Is entry level work able to be attained prior to certs/degree? [link] [comments]  |
| Things to learn before studying IT at university Posted: 30 Apr 2020 12:36 AM PDT After I graduate Highschool this year, i'm planning to study IT at university, however i'm a bit of a beginner to this field. I've built a computer and know my way around windows. Does anyone have suggestions on what to learn, what I should know at IT before I enter uni next year? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 12:35 AM PDT Good morning to all. I need some advice on the path i am thinking on taking. Some background, I am 20 and currently serving in the Airforce, I do server administration and vulnerability management as my job. I currently have 2.5 years left of my contract. I also hold a Comptia Sec+ certification as well. I am at a crossroad for what I want to pursue, on one side is Front end development and on the other is Cloud engineering/management. Both interest me a lot but I do have more of a soft spot for development in the past. I want an honest answer about the current state of front end web development, I see the market as saturated. I get excited about the cloud because i see it as the future of the internet as a whole and with AI technology. I'm originally from NYC and would love to go back and get a job there. In your honest opinions, what are the pros/cons of each and what do you see as a more attractive and stable job? [link] [comments]  |
| How to convert a plugged in printer to print wirelessly? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 09:16 AM PDT I have an HP photosmart d110 printer I set up hardwired to my laptop. I'd like for it to be able to print wirelessly if I'm in another room. How would I go about doing this? [link] [comments]  |
| Working at a company that doesn’t prioritize innovation Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:08 PM PDT Hi everybody, I'll try to be as brief as possible: I have a good IT job with good co-workers, but the company I work for is really heavy on bureaucracy. Unless leadership needs a solution for a problem that has already occurred, innovation and creativity is suppressed, even if it's and idea that could potentially pre-empt future problems from occurring. My question: how have some of you dealt with companies with management that solely wants their IT staff working reactively rather than proactively? [link] [comments]  |

| Pillars to improve and grow on IT Career Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:12 PM PDT Last year I was on a talk by Ned Pyle at Microsoft Ignite 2019 about pillars for grow in IT Career. I decided to write an article about that. The pillars are Discipline, Technical Power, Communication, and Legacy. It worth taking a look and see that coding can be part of it, but not the only one. And it is essential to know that nowadays we need to go beyond the technical skills. Soft skills are crucial as well. I've been implementing those improvements myself and I'm having positive results. Let me know what you think about it and what other factors are essential to keep growing on IT Career. [link] [comments]  |

| MS in CS or MS in Cyber Physical Systems. Confused!! Need Advice!! Posted: 30 Apr 2020 03:31 AM PDT I have a B.Tech in Information Technology (Covering almost all the CSE courses except for some hardware related ones) I have an interest in IoT but I'm quite confused about the job prospects MS in CPS will have. Although I find it really tough to deal with electrical equipments but the connectivity part is fun. Alternatively, I'm interested in web development. Which obviously is a good option as far as securing a good job is concerned. I'm confused. Need advice. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:15 PM PDT Is there any gaps in my learning if I were to lean off of these for studying and passing? The book provides practice tests and hands on simulations. Some people say the book can just be used with Whitepapers so I'm not sure what I should do or not laying out my study material. [link] [comments]  |

| Independent of the professional benefits, what motivates you to keep learning? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 06:30 PM PDT In other words, do you derive a personal satisfaction from learning new things in your speciality regardless of its practical utility? I suppose it's a rehash of the question: "If you had all the money in the world, would you still be doing this?" [link] [comments]  |
| Jack of all trades. How do I get into infosec? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:54 PM PDT I've never had any idea what I really want to do in IT and got into anything and everything I heard about. Here are a few things I'm good at -
Plus my brain for some reason loves to think about loopholes and logical fallacies and general what-could-go-wrong. I'm in a weird place right now and I feel it's the right time to think about my future and maybe for once focus on one thing and go really deep. I've been reading up on infosec, and so far what I've gathered is - pentesting is not for me - I don't like dealing with blackboxes and I don't like writing reports - appsec/secops is definitely for me - I already do this kind of thing in my work and would love to do it more consciously and methodically I've looked into the common security certifications and I definitely think I can crack the exams with some training. Financially I'm in a bad place right now so I don't think I can invest in them though. I know this is a little vague, but any thoughts or advice? How do I land my first infosec job without certification? [link] [comments]  |
