| Free Training on Windows Server 2019 Administration (WS-011) - Will Cover Full Course Posted: 29 Jul 2021 04:07 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm currently delivering training on Microsoft's WS-011 (Windows Server 2019 Administration) course. I'm also going to be doing training on most of their other courses for those that's interested. The training should be enough to be able to write the exam associated with each course plus it will greatly benefit you in the workplace. I truly hope this helps someone out there that needs the help. I remember what it feels like wanting to learn something like these courses and needing to write the exams but not being able to find any resources, at least not any free ones that is. I intend on doing this completely at no charge to help those that's sitting in the same boat I used to be in. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2021 01:36 PM PDT I guess "apply even if you don't meet all requirements" and its just a "wish list" backfires sometimes.... Edit: "Process" was a bad choice of words. I went through a zoom interview with the CTO and everything seemed to be going well until at the very end he dropped the "Kubernetes master" stuff. I know he was the one who reviewed my linkedin and resume as well. By Process I meant going over college, working history, the company, what I'm looking for, etc. [link] [comments]  |

| How/when to strategically ask for a raise or increased PTO/vacation time? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 09:51 AM PDT A little background here, I've been working at IT at my current job for about 1.5 years. I'm the main tech working at a financial institution and I do a lot of stuff, from answering 90% of phone calls, to doing tickets, to equipment ordering/setup/distribution, to troubleshooting/supporting specific software pertaining to our industry. We are growing at an accelerating rate, and expect to have about 50% more employees by mid next year, along with a dozen or so more offices. At this point, it's just me and one other tech doing main frontline support and anything to do with user interaction/hardware setup/any misc stuff. The other tech is leaving soon, and we have been EXTREMELY overworked. I honestly feel like for the amount of money I'm making that I'm very underpaid and very overworked. I'm wondering when is the best time to ask for a raise or increased vacation time? Essentially in the next couple of weeks I'm going to be needed more than ever (I'm going to be doing the job of two full time techs till we hire on another one, then I'm going to need to train them in all of our processes/systems, etc). I figure then would be an extremely opportunistic time to push for a raise/more time off/some type of benefit, but has a high chance of pissing off my manager in the future. What do you think, and what do you think would be better to push for more, more time off, or increased pay? [link] [comments]  |

| What KPIs should I present to my new boss to make a good impression? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 05:16 AM PDT My new boss is returning to the office soon and wants me to think about objectives for myself, tied directly to my bonus. He said examples could include ticket management, improvement ideas/implementation, improving efficiency etcetera. The bulk of my role is security and sysadmin duties (in charge of infrastructure, investigating security incidents, training and mentoring the more junior employees, upgrading systems, 365 Security Centre threat analysis). I want to look like I'm taking initiative and present some realistic, thoughtful KPIs here for myself. Any suggestions as to what measurable objectives I can suggest for myself would be greatly appreciated. I want to make a great impression here. Thanks so much in advance! <3 [link] [comments]  |
| Is it normal for help desk jobs to not feel like an IT job? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:48 AM PDT I'm in training. My job requires me to troubleshoot client systems and use the knowledge base to troubleshoot and not deviate from the article, no matter how obvious the solution is. The reason being that they didn't want to mess up the client systems. At this point, I don't feel there's an opportunity to use the knowledge I learned from my studies and apply it to the job. I'm not setting up accounts with active directory, using power shell commands, using ipconfig etc. It doesn't feel as in-depth as I expected. There's just a lot of handholding when I'd thought you'd be expected to memorize everything from studying A+ and just know this stuff. Is this normal for Help Desk jobs to feel like this?

| Recent grad of a program that I don’t like - how to transition into IT? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:47 AM PDT I graduated last year with a communication degree. I realized about halfway through that I hated it but I had changed majors twice already and was in too deep financially to switch to something else so I just finished it. When I started college I was going for comp sci. I did two semesters of basics, including two programming classes (an SQL and a Python class). I had TERRIBLE teachers for these two classes which led to me getting really discouraged, thinking I wasn't cut out for that career path, and that I would never be able to learn programming. My goal at the time was to be a software dev. To make a long story short, I sort of spiraled after that and was never sure of what I wanted to do, so just picked something that I thought i'd be good at. Since graduating, I've been working for a local government and I just honestly hate it. I want to transition into an IT career, but I feel like it's too late to get back into software dev. I don't really know what else is out there that I would qualify for with my degree and experience. My only goals are to be able to work from home, and make a reasonably comfortable salary (maybe 50k-60k). I have a TON of free time at my current job, my boss doesn't care what I do during that time as long as i'm in the office. So are there any online certifications, classes (not too expensive), etc that I should look into to kick start a transition? [link] [comments]  |
| What is the starting salary for graduates at Microsoft UK? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 08:21 AM PDT Thinking about where I want to go after uni. Does anyone know the answer to this? The kind of roles I would be looking at would be custemer facing, so either a Cloud Solution Architect, or a Technical specialist. Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| What's the general road map to becoming an SQL expert? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 07:53 AM PDT Hello. I've been learning and experimenting with a plethora of different coding languages and platforms and so far, SQL seem to be my favorite. I like how I can easily see what it is I'll be doing with the language, which is not the case for other stuff, which has careers so vague and a bit too expansive for me. I want to be able to be an excellent pick for companies who require SQL developers. What are some other languages that I would have to use with SQL? I heard AWS and .NET is a big recommendation for this field. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I still negotiate for a higher salary after agreeing to the salary offer verbally? Posted: 29 Jul 2021 06:41 AM PDT So it's a bit of a complicated situation… Recruiter called me yesterday offering me the job I applied for in a different department, within the same company. I asked for a 30% raised and the offer was about 23%. I agreed on the spot. And I checked with him if I will still be a eligible for the annual performance review that's coming up in a few months time. At first, he said no, so I said in that case, I would like to discuss for higher starting range. So he checked for like 30 seconds or so and told me, oh yes you're still eligible. But he will not know the % of performance bonus because that's based on the performance review your manager has put through for you and up to your current manager to decide how many % of salary increment I get. So I agreed, and he said he will then start with sending the paperwork for various leaders for approval on this agreed salary range. However, later I checked with him that this eligibility of performance review will not be stated on this offer letter as it's based on the original offer letter I signed when I joined the company. I checked with my current department manager (the one that I will leave soon), and the manager told me it's likely there will NOT be anymore salary adjustment from the performance review. So I'm really concerned at this point. The paperwork is ardy in the progress of approval by leaders in the new team. I have not received any offer letter yet. Is it too late to call the recruiter now and asked to negotiate the salary? Thank you for reading this far. I would really love to hear some advice! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2021 12:05 PM PDT I hear this sometimes but I don't understand much about it. I feel like when people say this, they are saying "you will be irrelevant and jobless in 15 years". Is it because IT infrastructures are migrating to cloud? What is the big deal about IT infrastructures migrating to the cloud? Surely, the IT specialists can adapt and learn new skills about cloud or automation or whatever right? I ask this because I'm going to college for a 3 year program this fall. It will be about IT-networking and security and will teach some cloud too. Please provide your thoughts and details. Much appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Unsure on how to progress next in my career and worried about making the wrong decisions (UK) Posted: 29 Jul 2021 12:18 AM PDT I have been doing IT support for just over 4 years now and it is completely soul destroying to say the least. I'd like to move into something software dev related and decided to complete an online part time Computer Science degree (University of London) - i'm now thinking this was a mistake as i'm working full time it can take up to 6 years to complete. I was wondering if a software developer apprenticeship may have been a better fit but that also means I would be taking a massive pay cut. I know what I want but I don't know how to get there, is anyone able to give some advice? [link] [comments]  |

| Study for the now or for the future? Not sure what my next move should be Posted: 28 Jul 2021 01:48 PM PDT I work supporting several construction companies as a Sysadm. This place is in the Flintstone era of IT: no offsite backups, old and outdated OS's, aging hardware and no public usage. It's like what IT was in 2010, everything on-perm running on VMs. I was hired as a sysadm with a focus on systems and was told there was also a network admin that was hired a week before I was. He was fired 4 months later because he didn't know anything about networking so I have had the do the networking portion to the best of my ability for over a year. There are some areas that I struggle with like switching, and SAN storage and some VMWare stuff. Feel like if I put in enough time to get better at it if I study more in my off time but the reality is there is not much room for growth here and the rest of the world is moving to public clouds. Trying to determine whether I should put my focus in improving my skill set for my current position or ignoring my weaknesses and focus on learning public clouds like Azure for the next role. I know people are going to say why not both? The problem is I can only take about 30-45 mins daily of learning before I lose focus and stuff starts going in one ear and out the other after that. Anyone else ever have this situation? What would you do? [link] [comments]  |
| Realized I am not very good at tech support over the phone. Tips on how to get better at it? Posted: 28 Jul 2021 10:07 PM PDT Hey all, After about 3 weeks of training with the products that we are supposed to provide tech support in, I am quite forced to do phone call supports starting today. Man, I am terrible at it. I would frequently put customers on hold, and ask others for help, often for a quite long amount of time. I am not too sure if this has to do with the lack of training with all the things that I have been trained by far, but there seems to be a lot of things that I still don't know about. Often times I quite repeat myself saying the same thing. I think everything from the easy or the hard stuff calls will just come to me anyway, regardless of difficulty, and I am quite expected to get it solved and not be able to transfer to anyone in particular. Perhaps this is something I will have to practice and get better at, but how should I make this experience more pleasant? How should I get better? I do utilize others for help for my problems, which they are nice enough to do so. Anything else I should focus on? I really don't like doing tech support over the time, but I will suck it up and do what needs to be done. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2021 09:52 PM PDT So I'm in a vocational training program for youth looking to get into technology. Technically, the program I'm in for is Junior Data Analyst, but the organization also has a Junior IT Analyst program, and they help you to apply for all sorts of help desk, junior analyst, customer service entry level stuff, intern positions. I want to either get into a junior data analyst role entry level, or if that fails because there's not many opportunities in my city, I want to go the traditional IT helpdesk route. They forwarded me a few jobs that I should apply for. Here are two. My impression is that the first role is kind of decent entry level help desk stuff. Am I right or wrong? The second one is Shopify Support Advisor (formerly Customer Guru), and it doesn't seem like a tech job at all, and purely customer service. Am I wrong here? Am I overthinking this? I am not too familiar with the rules, but I know job postings are not allowed, so I'll just paste the title and responsibilities. I would like some advice if either of these jobs are worth pursuing from an IT perspective: 1) "Remote Client Services Analyst"
2) Shopify Support Advisor (formerly known as Customer Guru)
Option 1 seems IT related, whereas option 2 just seems to be a purely Customer Service role. Am I right here? Or wrong? [link] [comments]  |

| Higher tier position with certifications but no experience? Posted: 28 Jul 2021 05:37 PM PDT If I pass exams for higher certifications than the trifecta (A+, network+, security+), what is the chance that I get hired for a more advanced position, even though I have never worked as an entry level/help desk? [link] [comments]  |
| Where and how to offer ‘pro bono’ IT services for charities? Posted: 28 Jul 2021 05:36 PM PDT As the title says, I'm looking to put some of my now more mature skills to good use in the way of volunteering for good causes. However, I'm having trouble finding ways to track down any organizations that might need that. Any ideas? Tips? [link] [comments]  |
