| So many certs these days. Which ones are legit? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:55 PM PDT I know that CompTIA have traditionally been the "default" certs most people start with. But is that true present day? Do they still hold value? What certs are more valuable to the current marketplace, whether it be for Cloud, Security, Networking, SysAdmin, etc. Appreciate any input.

| Advice on juggling multiple job offers Posted: 02 Aug 2020 10:24 AM PDT Hi all, so I'm new to the IT industry, straight out of the Army and am currently juggling 2 offers, with 2 more very likely on the way. Company A, a staffing agency whose name I've seen here on a lot, offered me a hourly wage position that is contract-to-hire. They were really hard-pressed for my answer when they called me about the offer after I told them I need to think about it. This position does include relocation assistance and is in a city of my liking. Company B, a well-known engineering firm, offered me a direct hire as an employee with one of their current contracts and is salary (higher than Company A). They're still drafting up the final write up so I have no issues stalling with them. Only issue is I've been researching the city I have to relocate for this and it's just not preferable. Company C, a staffing agency, originally offered me a contract that ended up falling through due to some bureaucratic issues and travel restrictions to CENTCOM. I have an interview with them for another position (CONUS) tomorrow and I have a feeling I will get an offer with them. The pay is significantly higher than both Company A and B. My only hesitance with them is the first contract they offered me fell through but I have been told the contracting world is very unforgiving by peers so that should be expected. Company D, smaller business, that I am still awaiting to here back from for an interview date. The hours and days off for this position are amazing (6-2, Mon,Tue off). It is also located in a city I would love to move to. I was called directly by their program manager, not a recruiter, and she believed I would be a great fit. Though I do not want to miss out on my other offers by waiting for this. My current plan as of right now is tell Company A I need more time to decide or just tell them this fit isn't quite right for me depending on how they call me tomorrow for my answer. All 4 positions require me to move either half-way or across the entire country which is why I am really not just choose any position out right. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Aug 2020 09:04 AM PDT I have a few questions for you seasoned WFH pros. What are the best habits/processes/rituals you developed? How do you manage your time between job and home/family? What do you do to stay motivated? How did you approach adjusting to working from home? I know everyone is different and has different circumstances, I'm just curious to see what those differences are or maybe find a common thread. [link] [comments]  |
| Is a Bachelor’s in CIS needed in order to be a Sys Admin? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 05:22 PM PDT Is a Bachelor's in CIS typically a requirement in order to become a Sys Admin? Or will an AAS CIS-IT suffice with experience? [link] [comments]  |
| What do i need to do to get a 6figure job in iT? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 11:42 AM PDT I currently work as a help desk level 1 dealing with customers for a low wage. I currently hold A+ and will be pursuing a N+ cert and eventually S+. It seems help desk is not the way and I will never see a 6 figure job if I stick to help desk. What IT Roles should I be looking for to get to that level? If CompTIA certs won't get me to 6 figures, what certs should I be looking at? I only hold a+ certification at the moment with no degree. Should I look into getting a degree as well? Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Associate Degree in Cyber Security, Networking, or IT? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 06:08 PM PDT My community college has three IT Associate Degree specialties. Cyber Security path, Networking path, and an IT professional path. I was wondering if a Cyber Security or Networking associate degree holds any true value, since these pathways are not entry level, more like mid-high level. Should I just go for a general IT associates degree and get certificates on top while working and moving up the ladder? I am studying for Comptia A+ and would like to work in the networking field. Would appreciate tips from you guys. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Version of Windows Server to learn / practice on without telemetry and spyware-like features? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:45 PM PDT I know that much of this is disabled in the Enterprise version(s) of Windows, but not in the free / evaluation copies available on Microsoft's website. I'm interested in learning Powershell and more of the basics of Windows Server Administration, but am put off by the idea of giving Microsoft a backdoor / foothold on my machine, even in an isolated / virtual environment. What are some good ways to learn / practice without dealing with this? Or should I just suck it up? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 12:54 PM PDT How are you staying motivated right now? I've not been able to get a job nearly 3 months after graduation. I'm trying to study and earn certs to help out. I've been stuck on MCA:Modern Desktop Administration chapter 2 for 3 weeks. I'll get a page in here, a few there, but 3 weeks on one chapter. It's driving me nuts but apparently not enough to do it. I've been turned down for nearly 100 jobs with at least 200-500 applicants for the jobs as well so I'm in running with people who have experience and it's just making me think if I shot myself in the foot going into IT a degree with loads of potential, having 22,000+ jobs available in my region and I'm not able to get one. Help me stay motivated what's your secrets? [link] [comments]  |
| Hello Recruiters! How should I answer how many tickets I receive in a week? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 04:52 PM PDT I don't want to sound like I'm rude or anything, but as one can expect, there's a lot of variation in type of tickets that come out. Some take seconds, others take more than an hour! Some places don't have the resources to acquire more than a hundred technicians while others can't have you taking up more than 10 minutes if you're level 1. How does this help you take into account of the amount of work and resourcefulness candidates can become? [link] [comments]  |
| Where do I Start with Low Level Security Research? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:39 PM PDT I'm interested in security research, especially at a lower level. I've done some kernel dev in my spare time, currently trying to write a compiler and language of my own and built Linux from Scratch. I know (probably not to a professional standard but enough to get by) C++, C, basic assembly (Intel and AT&T syntax) and Python (don't like it though). I was originally interested in pentesting like a lot of people are but as I got more interested in Kernel development and building my own GNU/Linux distributions I found I preferred attempting to find my own unheard of vulnerabilities. I know this is the field I want to be in. Do people in this field often work for an employer or find vulnerabilities and then sell them? Is it possible to get a salary in a position like this? Are there any certs for low level attacks or is my best bet perfecting my understanding of how low level activities work and then looking for vulnerabilities? Are there certs I can get for an interest as specific as this, I'm having trouble finding any. I'm not really interested in Web app or network pentesting. I'm also under 18 but I'm just looking to plan out a road map and get some certs if they're needed in this field. [link] [comments]  |

| How are you coping with the "new normal"? Posted: 01 Aug 2020 06:30 PM PDT Hi everyone, With the COVID-19 pandemic still looming all around the world, everyone is still being asked to work from home indefinitely unless there is a need to come to the office. I'd like to know how everyone is coping with this "new normal". And what are the biggest challenges you're facing? I know we IT professionals have pioneered the idea of working from home. But I'm hearing a different story from other IT professionals. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:16 PM PDT Hello! I've posted in this reddit before and got some amazing advice on what I needed to do through my last year of college. I am posting again cause I Graduated with my associates in computer science. I have a focus in computer hardware. The programming side was something I couldn't wrap my head around so I focused more on the hardware. I was looking into trying to get a job in the IT field with my degree. Im about to start googles professional IT certification but wanted some other recommendations on 1. Jobs to look into and what i should be looking for. 2. Opinions on the google IT program. And 3. What should I be expecting in regards of compensation and on the job training? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:18 PM PDT I've been working in healthcare (Masters degree in Occupational Therapy) since I graduated 6 years ago. I've been researching health informatics and was curious to hear from others currently in the field. It would be a big career change for me and was hoping to learn if this would be a good idea. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
