| Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:23 AM PDT Basically the title says it all. Do you guys think it's worth it to move to the states for a while (being unattached and relatively young; 26M) to save some money working in IT? I feel like people in the states make way more money than people do in Europe/Germany working in IT, this might be subjective perception but I am far from sure of it. Specially seeing the kind of salaries people speak of in this sub. Add to that the fact in Germany taxation is pretty high for single people without kids (around 36-39%), and from a salary that's not so high to begin with, you're left with little more than half after taxes. Do you think it'd be worth it, or have any experience with this? [link] [comments]  |

The only work experience I have is as a delivery driver/warehouse worker for a meat/cheese company. Im trying to figure out the name of positions I can do to better help find an internship. Please help. [link] [comments]  |
| Should I ask for a raise even if I plan on leaving in 8+ months? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 07:42 AM PDT I've been at my current Helpdesk position for 2 years… become a reliable core part of the team. This was accepted as my first IT job with above average pay (still not great). I've always taken in extra projects and gone above and beyond to help the team/organization and I know the bosses see that. We plan on leaving the state in 8+ months. Would it be considered poor etiquette to ask for a raise, despite knowing that I don't plan on working here for another full year? Or should I just embrace the "doesn't hurt to ask attitude"?

| What are the benefits of working for a big tech companies ? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 06:39 AM PDT What are the benefits of working for a big tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Google and so on ? I'm fully aware that such companies pay very well salary wise. However, what are the other benefits that comes with it when being employed by a big tech company ? I'm more interested in the progression side where there are no options for further progression and you decided to move on to look for other opportunities or you were made redundant for this or another reason. Would having such a big tech company on your resume make you more desirable or provide some type of advantage over other candidates when looking for the next job ? Would that make your life any easier at getting interviews etc ? I'm looking for all sorts of advice when it comes to this question so feel free to share what you know :) [link] [comments]  |
| Got hired one level above what is normal.... advice? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 01:32 PM PDT Hi everyone, Long story short, I completed a B.S. degree in political science (I know, I was a dumb ass). All my work experience up to now is outside of IT. After being unable to get a "real" job for two years, I decided to go to community college and get an AAS in computer programming because I always wrote software since I was a teenager as a hobby. I also picked up A+, Network+, Security+, and Server+ certifications as part of my AAS degree classes. (College paid the CompTIA test fees) I applied for two jobs with the same company - helpdesk tech and NOC tech. I know during my community college classes, our instructors made it clear our first job was going to be helpdesk. So, I figured for sure I would get hired for the helpdesk job. I did an interview with the company, and, even though I didn't apply for a dev job, they kept asking me about software that I had developed. I showed them my code for a major program I developed for a console emulator and they acted like it was the most amazing thing ever. Anyway, to my absolute shock, they offered me the NOC tech job over the helpdesk job yesterday. I accepted and they offered me $35/hour as a regular employee with full benefits, which is vastly more money than I have EVER made. (The most I have ever made is $16/hour) That said, I consider myself to be kind of weak on networking. I was able to pass Network+ & Server+, but I failed CCNA. My AAS degree only had 3 networking classes. I'm kind of worried that perhaps I got hired a level above where I should have started, but I'm honestly not sure.... Has anyone been in this situation before? Any advice on how to be successful would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| What duties and skills should you be taking away from a beginner IT role to put down on a resume? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 08:59 AM PDT Hi there, I am currently looking to move away from a helpdesk job I have currently. This is my first IT position I've ever had, and for a variety of reasons, I'm looking to leave it after five months due to it generally being unsatisfactory (due to the business, not due to IT as a whole). I spent a lot of time before this leveraging my time at a grocery store and a car dealership to word it into enough positive customer service facing experience to land my current position. Now that I'm actually in an IT role, I'm drawing blanks on what kind of experience I should be writing down on my resume. What are the typical kind of skills and bullet points summaries that you would see on someone's resume from their first IT job ever in a Lv. 1 helpdesk-type position? [link] [comments]  |
| Should I skip the A+ and go straight to Network+ ? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 10:24 PM PDT Hey all. I worked as a PC tech back in early 2000's until 2003. I have somewhat kept up with the hardware and software trends. I also ordered Mike Meyers A+ course on udemy to see where I stand today. I learned some newer technologies in the course. Because the A+ consists of 2 tests to be certified, I am thinking about just jumping over and going straight to learning Net+. And, if after obtaining the Net+ cert, I would like to apply as a help desk or support position as starting point and then eventually move into some type of networking career, probably Cloud admin or cloud security. By the way, I have no networking experience. Is this a wise strategy or will this be bad from HR's viewpoint? Thanks all! [link] [comments]  |
| I want to pursue a career in the IT field but I am concerned about the level of phone time Posted: 18 Jul 2021 08:45 AM PDT I've been considering learning IT skills and maybe eventually pursuing a career in the field, but I was wondering, are there IT jobs that don't require a gratuitous amount of talking to on the phone? I have a bit of phone anxiety and the idea of having to talk to customers all day on the phone is a bit daunting. Are there aspects of the field that don't require as much phone time?

| Resources on data centers for a data center technician Posted: 18 Jul 2021 07:49 AM PDT I'm looking to improve my knowledge for an upcoming interview and was looking for some resources to learn more. I bought a CompTIA server+ book to read up on it. [link] [comments]  |
| What does a tooling engineer do? Is it just another name for DevOps? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:13 AM PDT I was interviewed for junior DevOps engineer, but on the contract it says "junior tooling engineer". Is it the same thing? It will be my first job in IT. Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| How to become a Linux administrator with only 8 months of experience? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 07:53 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've been working for a data center as a NOC tech for 8 months and I have learned so much.

| Thinking of transitioning to IT. Looking for perspective Posted: 17 Jul 2021 05:28 PM PDT Hi there! Currently working in healthcare(and not interested in it anymore) and looking for a career change towards IT(as it pays more and I have a desire to work more directly in the STEM fields) and theres a two-year degree in Computer Networking at my local community college. What do you think of a degree like that plus taking certifications? Also some topics I would love perspective on: I'm wondering peoples perspective on the field as a whole finding a job at entry-level types of jobs within IT(network engineer, database architect, etc) thoughts on the outsourcing of IT jobs out of the US future of the career field the gender imbalance in the field(as I'm a woman) thoughts on gender and age discrimination if I start a path on this career(as I am an "older" woman) THANK YOU!

| How to go from traditional IT position to Sales Engineering?

| Best place to look for IT manager job postings other than LinkedIn? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 02:59 PM PDT First time looking in about 10 years and I wasn't sure where the best sites are these days. Edit. Located in the US. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 17 Jul 2021 01:28 PM PDT I recently lost my job as my company closed down. I have 8 years of experience in manual testing. I have decided to upskill myself and start looking for jobs in Junior Devops roles. I have created a study plan. Please let me know if it is feasible or an over enthusiastic plan. I intend to study 10-12 hrs a day for next 100 days. The main area of focus would be system administration, python programming, devops tools and one cloud platform. The breakup is as follows 1) System Administration : Focused on RHCSA/RHCE -- 3hours per day Would it be wise to learn these 4 topics in parallel or should i concentrate one one area, complete it and then move to the next one.

| Graduated BS in IT but I can't find a job for 2 months now Posted: 17 Jul 2021 05:24 PM PDT I have a BS in IT (database n programming) have fundamental knowledge with SQL, PL/SQL, Python, Html/Css/JavaScript, networking. Nobody seems interested in hiring me unless its a $1,000 a month pay (for the DC metro area) Obviously im not good at selling myself, but what are some things that can really help? Im not trying to do certs right now because that will take time and I have to pay my loan back soon and would rather get anything entry level. Maybe Im applying for the wrong jobs? Is it useless to apply for entry jobs in other cities? [link] [comments]  |
