| Is how a company handles COVID a reasonable judgment? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:18 AM PDT I live in a state where COVID cases are hitting daily highs on a regular basis. My job has brought everyone back to the office with no mask mandates or social distancing enforced. We were working from home just fine and the nature of our work doesn't require a physical presence. Look, I understand in normal times having that "old school" mentality of everyone needing to be in the office. But I feel like I have to remind everyone we're still in a global pandemic. This really rubs me the wrong way. A lot of people I work with are older/at risk and it feels like an unnecessary risk, especially when I hear of bigger companies keeping everyone away from the office until Labor Day at a minimum. My question is, is it fair of me to view the company in a negative light for this? I feel so strongly about this I'm listening to recruiters/fielding other jobs. [link] [comments]  |
| Master's Degree in IT with zero knowledge of programming. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:49 AM PDT I'm planning to apply for a master's degree in IT but I graduated from a Bachelor's degree in Food Science. I have zero knowledge of programming or something about IT. What would you guys suggest to me to get ready for the master's degree? What should I learn before it started? Edit : It's IT Project Manager program, check here; https://www.wsb.pl/english/bydgoszcz/educational-offerings/masters-degree/programs/information-technology-in-business-it-project-manager/program-components [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 03:35 PM PDT Hi everyone, I am currently working on a Help Desk and I was wondering what the best way to move into the security domain would be? I currently have my Bachelor's in Security. What certs should I get? What should I learn? How can I make myself more marketable? Any advice is helpful! [link] [comments]  |
| I JUST HAD A 12 MINUTE LONG ZOOM INTERVIEW Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:31 AM PDT I just had an interview that lasted 12 MINUTES long, now that cannot be good can it? They literally asked me two/three questions and asked if I had any questions, I asked two/three myself. I will hear back tomorrow to see if i got it or not but surely that is not a good sign that I have it right? [link] [comments]  |
| I Need Help With A Technical Interview Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:46 AM PDT I recently graduated and I applied for an ITSM consulting position where they would put me through training in entry courses such as SQL, Excel, VBA, and UNIX. I was told the technical interview would test the following:
I'm not looking for answers, but what would be the best way to get a general idea of these fields? I tried to look up beginner courses on youtube, however even the longer ones don't seem to discuss some of these aspects, so I'm inclined to think they may be more advanced in nature.

| SOC analyst interview tomorrow Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:29 AM PDT I have a interview with a MSSP that looks like it's a small startup, around 30 people total. They seem very friendly and give you a lead time of 2 weeks for SLA's and its 100% remote. My background is i'm a Jr. Systems Admin with 5 years experience working in Help Desk, Desktop Support and more recently admin level duties with systems front end and back with exposure to SIEM tools ( Fortigate) I also have a an interview with a federal contractor which is much more in depth and requires PCAP analysis. So naturally, I've downloaded Wireshark and download some files from malware-traffic-analysis.net/ and I'm starting to go through those and learn how to read them. Any other suggestions?

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:40 AM PDT Hi All, About a year ago I decided to make the leap into the tech world and did a coding boot camp. I learned Ruby on Rails and got a job shortly after at a medium sized startup in London. Previously, I worked in sales and managed teams. I enjoy coding but I don't think I quite have the attention to detail to code day in day out for the rest of my life. I do however want to stay in the tech industry. What I really want to do is manage engineering teams. I believe this is possible without having to code, do code reviews etc. My experience so far has been that the devs managing teams are reluctant to do the people management side and it is an annoyance in between their coding. They seem to take the management role for the money and not because they want to do it. I feel the other way and would relish the opportunity to manage a technical team. I think it is feasible if a senior dev handled the code reviews and I handled the people side of the business. However, the job ads I see for engineering managers seem to always require you to be an expert at coding before you can take them on. Is there a way I could fast track to the management role without having to become a coding expert? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Does a technical degree count? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:20 AM PDT I was wondering since everyone usually speaks about college degrees in either information technology or even arts etc, if a technical degree say from a technical college like i have (automotive technician) would help fill that "HR degree spot"?

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:52 AM PDT Hello everyone, Although I am not new to programming, I can't say I am a strong coder. However, I plan on starting to take SQL, JavaScript and Python courses this summer to solidify my skills. I am also graduating this December and want to make myself as marketable as possible to the recruiters (MIS degree). Would it be a waste of money if I decide to sign up for a Salesforce course now? I am afraid I won't be able to keep up with the program. What would you recommend? [link] [comments]  |
| I have 3 years of IT helpdesk expierence. Posted: 24 Jun 2020 09:16 PM PDT About to get out of the army. I have been studying for my sec+. Hoping to take it in a few weeks here. I have basic troubleshooting skills and expierence with active directory. What should my next step be? [link] [comments]  |
| Career path in 7 Domains of Security Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:22 AM PDT It's very difficult to understand the GAP between our current job profile and the profile we desire to be in, also in the field of security we feel helpless to make a clear career path. So this video will help you to make your own GAP sheet between your current and desired Position and also help you to create a career path in Security Domains Link: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-181/final [link] [comments]  |
| How would I go about building a CS/IT career? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:51 AM PDT Hey everyone! I'm 22 and ever since I was 17 I've felt completely lost in what I wanted to do and when I would finally take that first step. I've had a few things happen tome that made me feel like all my efforts have been for naught. Losing high school transcripts, moving around a lot etc... I won't go into any ridiculously long details regarding the above as thanks to my girlfriend I've managed to rebuild my relationships with my family, move on from my past, get my GED and move out of said friend's home while simultaneously removing my need for validation from strangers. Plainly put I'm ignorant. I knew nothing of colleges, taxes, financial aid, internships and never had my parents push me hard to succeed in school as they were content just to survive in the U.S being immigrants from a harsher country. Now I've been looking both into trade schools and colleges attempting to decide on a career choice. it's frustrating with how overwhelming it can be and obviously the fear of making a decision and it backfiring into debt has always been what's kept me from even pushing myself. That being said... I've always loved technology. Computers, video games, websites, smartphones, etc... My original dream was to be a game designer and unfortunately it's not a field that would support the lifestyle I'd like to live. I'd like to someday be so in tune with programming and development that I can potentially make games as a hobby :) I want a career that ultimately supports me when I'm not working as opposed to doing something I adore and barely making ends me. I've been looking into doing a 4 year school for computer sciences and taking advantage of all the free resources available to me without tuition being attached. CS50, Codeacademy, multiple books on scripting, YouTube, etc as well as I've been looking into a trade school for cyber-security and information technologies. An idea I also had was to become a trade electrician as one of my close friends has been doing it for a few years and is willing to teach me on the side. Use that time to make extra money and then begin attending college for said software development/computer science degree. exposition aside.. What pathway would be the most realistic and one I could spend more time working on than triple checking to make sure it'd work? I'm sure that applies to absolutely anything you put your heart into. I don't have any financial support other than myself and I want to work my ass off. I heard going to a trade for cyber security can be scam as cyber security is something integrated into software development and not a stand alone degree like a bachelors and going to college is usually better for IT careers as opposed to a trade school Would it be wise to work on as many certificates and gather an understanding of computer sciences alongside a college? If I were to do a trade what are very stable trades I can do in the IT field that can help me secure a job in the IT department as I work on my education as well? I know I love computers and I know my attitude towards anything is what's going to govern how I feel about anything. I'm lost as to what is generally considered a strong choice for someone who know's very little about CS and wants to make a career out of it. :) If there's any other sub reddits that can help to I'd appreciate any redirection and advice!!

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:33 AM PDT Hello everyone. I need some advice. I have an IT degree from 2000 but have been in retail since because of the various reasons, mainly the dot com burst years back and retail paid the more then starting it careers by a decent margin. I can spend about 25 or 26 months and get another bachelor's degree in cybersecurity for cheap as a new benefit with the company. Would that be beneficial or could I go ahead and get the popular certifications and start in the field? Soon as I get another job i lose the school benefits so that would stop. I recon the main question is how valuable is the degree? Would it increase the pay rate drastically or would certification and go ahead and get experience and get started be better?

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:35 AM PDT Hello everyone! My first IT job(after sysadmin Intern) was BI Consulting(SAS 4GL, Oracle, Java app&middleware, linux/unix/even solaris, bash). After 2 years I decided to change it to something a bit modern. I worked as Application Admin(Java stack, MS DB, Jenkins, Docker, Linux, bash, python) - 6 months (it was a short contract). Next - 1year as an Implementation Specialist(funny title)(a lot of Jenkins and Ansible, GitLab, Java stack, cers, keycloak, Nginx, Oracle, postgres, Linux, python, go, bash), after delivering the CI/CD for ETL system I decided to look for new changes. Now for 1y I'm working as IT Developer(Jenkins, Ansible, Linux, K8S, Docker, Groovy) - I'm responsible for Sheared Libs related to our platform and CI/CD stuff. Fortunately, the platform starting being stable, so my only work will be adding a new requirement from business to the existing code base, sometimes some fixies. Generally maintenance work. That was a short introduction :) So I have a problem because I never worked as a full-time programmer, `DevOps` or SRE. I have no commercial exp with clouds, exp with k8s is rather limited(PaSS), no expiration with monitoring(only Zabbix). I can't consider myself as a great programmer, I can solve the problems, but still no real experience. I have some GH projects, small blog, however, it's rather hobby/non-commercial-exp. I like CI/CD processes, coding, automation, but become `DevOps` require commercial clouds skills. Software Engineering requires at least 2y of `only coding` experience. What should I do now? I feel like a victim of my bed choices :) Change a job to junior devops/SE, until I don't have any children, and money isn't a priority. Maybe learn more at home and get some certs(not popular in my country)? Or just stay in my current company(a quite large bank) and climbing the ladder? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:34 AM PDT I'm looking at starting this college program soon, what sort of positions will I qualify for once I finish? https://www1.dcccd.edu/catalog/programs/degree.cfm?degree=cloud_computing_aas&loc=DCCCD Another question is will I qualify for other positions that aren't cloud based? Assuming I'm not able to get a cloud based position since all the job listings I see require a bachelor's. What would an entry level role in cloud computing look like so that I could eventually move up to a role as an Architect/Engineer? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 04:49 PM PDT So I have a bachelor's in IT. And besides developing some web sites for my University while in college, I don't have a ton of experience. I've been working as QA making around 40k for a year now and I'm just not sure where to go from here. I know I don't want to continue with QA but I'm not even sure what I would be qualified for to get started in another niche if IT. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 08:44 PM PDT Hi all, I'm curious how the interview process has been during quarantine. Are most companies still doing on-site interviews or have they adopted remote interviews (phone calls, video calls, etc). I'd like to hear the experience of people who have recently interviewed or the interview process of your current company if you're employed. I'm currently unemployed, but the thought of doing multiple on-site interviews is pretty nerve-wracking. Were you allowed to wear a mask? Did you decline to shake hands? I live with people who are high risk so I've been evaluating what risk I'm willing to take, I've been considering applying to remote jobs just to avoid stepping into an office. [link] [comments]  |
| What exactly does an IT auditor do? Posted: 24 Jun 2020 08:27 PM PDT I've heard this title roaming around a lot and have did a lot of searching online and it seems like job descriptions are different for every one. Does anyone work in this field? What's a typical day in the life? [link] [comments]  |
| I have a business diploma and a nursing degree, what can I do to get my foot in the door with IT? Posted: 24 Jun 2020 06:48 PM PDT I started out wanting to be in marketing and then decided after a year to venture into nursing. From what I've learned, I don't like bedside care, but enjoy the healthcare industry. I have always wanted to pursue IT but for some reason never did. I'm now 27 and turning 28 by the time I get my nursing degree. I know I want to get into IT in the application support or cyber security side. But havnt made up my mind yet. My question is, do I have to go to school again to be employable? As I already do have 2 credentials but just in unrelated fields. Or can I just do COMPTIA certifications? I would start with the A+ and then decide between network+ or security+. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:06 AM PDT As an IT contractor or freelancer of any kind for that matter, your CV is incredibly important. Recruiters are known for briefly scanning CVs and if yours doesn't stand out enough, or the right information isn't highlighted, then it can make getting new work even harder than it may already seem. We think these are the most important tips to make an ideal CV;
Can you think of some other tips too? Comment below. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2020 06:45 PM PDT So tomorrow morning I have a phone call scheduled with an in house recruiter for a good company. The position is for a SOC analyst. The email said we would "chat" and "discuss the role." Am I correct in thinking this will be mostly non-technical questions to judge whether to schedule an in-person interview? Should I be prepared for more challenging questions? Thanks for any advice! [link] [comments]  |
