| Leaving my company after 5 years got me a 30k raise Posted: 02 Dec 2021 12:35 PM PST I just want to start off by saying thank you very much to this reddit channel. I've been following this channel for years and gained a lot of knowledge and inspiration from everyone sharing their stores, so I want to add my path here to motivate someone else. Also, I want to continue to be another person letting the masses know that you get more for moving jobs, loyalty sometimes doesn't pay off and I unfortunately had to learn this the hard way. Job Progress:
Within #3 I've been gaining LOTS of experience that carried me into my new position and that's one of the things that I feel is a blessing for me staying someone for 5 years and getting underpaid. My CIO told me before the 5k raise that they were going to give me a "big" raise, which I guess is "big" (10%) and a title change that would move me up higher and increase my paycheck by a lot. After receiving the raise and title change, I started hearing this reddit in my head saying "look for other opportunities, you get a bigger raise by moving, know your worth!" and that's what I did. I had the skills I needed and went applying and got a lot of offers and call backs! Long story short don't settle, don't stay in your comfortable zone and lastly learn as quick as possible the things you need to know to get to the next level and never feel like the amount of money a company gives you, is your WORTH! We're all worth more then a value being placed on us by the people at the top! That's really all I have today and want to thank everyone who is a part of this reddit, because I was technically 1. scared to leave and 2. felt like if I stayed for 5+ years they will realize all that I'm doing and give me a "loyalty raise" especially since I've even completed my associates degree within this time frame, took over system administrator responsibilities, helped do large projects and a mountain of things to move the company forward in relation to IT, WITH almost 10 years of experience. Also, having a little boy who's 8 months old, everyday I went home I seen that he deserves more and I didn't want to have him grow up and me tell him I stayed in my comfort zone and that's why I didn't make more for our family! You can do it!! My next goal is to finish my bachelors, climb up higher and never stop! I love you guys here and hope I inspire someone like you've all inspired me! Happy Holidays!!

| How do you handle finding out You're being paid less as sysadmin than a help desk tech? Posted: 01 Dec 2021 07:58 PM PST Quick overview: been with the same company for about 7 years. I do everything that has to do with servers, vmware, o365, backups, firewalls, email... everything in-between. We hired someone about 2 years ago who has taken on the role of helpdesk. I have no problems with her, she takes care of most of the lower level stuff which is great. Although she doesn't seem to care to learn the things I teach her to do more than basic tech support, I am glad we have someone to take care of the basic stuff so I dont have to waste time setting up printers and shit. I know I'm already severely underpaid for my skillset, but the area I live in is extremely starved for IT jobs. Anyways I stumbled across a pdf that has salaries listed (we are a public company so its common to have this info available, although my company tries to hide it apparently). And she makes a good 15-20% more than me. Im pretty shocked to say the least. Here I am upgrading servers, upgrading old ass esxi servers and vsphere infrastructures, bringing our DC's from 2008 to 2019 etc and Im being paid less. Really trying not to be bitter here. I'm glad she makes what she does, but I'm pretty pissed I make what I do doing so much more technical/harder stuff. I think I need to jump ship asap Edit: If it makes any difference. I was told in the past it took the company almost 6 months to fill the role I have now, Im not some super crazy amazing sysadmin, Im like mediocre at best, mostly due to unqualified people. Again, the location I am in is extremely starved for IT jobs and likewise, IT employees. If I quit now I am 100% certain my company would hire a MSP at 3-4x my hourly rate to do a shittier job than I am currently lol. [link] [comments] |
| I am struggling in my role as IT consultant, should I quit Posted: 02 Dec 2021 10:19 AM PST I am a IT consultant, and this job is my first job. My collague at my company has take me to this project. She is very experienced and leads me and the project. She said at the beginning that I am only in a supporter role that she has not expect huge input for the success of the project. The problem is it is now 5 month and I say nothing in the meetings. I have no responsibilities or tasks. So I work for this project maximum 10hours and often 5 hours So because of that I am a quiet listener in the meetings that are 2 times in the week.

| Network+ or CCNA if I want to go from Desktop Support to Cloud Admin? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:40 PM PST Hi All, I'd like to get some opinions based on my current situation:
My goal is to get into a Cloud role in about a year from now. I know in order to do that I should probably be studying Azure or AWS, however my network knowledge isn't the greatest. I understand networks a bit but have forgotten some knowledge after not extensively using it in the last 3 years. Does it make sense to just get the Net+ and get the knowledge or would CCNA be better overall even though I likely won't be doing much CCNA specific work once I begin studying for Azure/AWS and go for a Cloud Admin role?

| In one month I start my first IT job as a CVS t1 Tech....HELP Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:55 PM PST I am beyond scared, I'm 26 and this is basically going to be my first job that I want to take seriously. They said once I'm comfortable I'll be taking up to 50 calls a day. I have ZERO experience in this and I have 30+ days to become proficient before I can go fully remote. I'm honestly just more scared I'll be fired and not be able to handle it. Any tips would be heavily appreciated I really want to make this job work so I can start my career. [link] [comments] |
| 3 months into help desk and I’m wondering about some changes Posted: 02 Dec 2021 05:29 PM PST So as the title says, I'm about three months into a helpdesk position, and I'm already thinking about some things that I want to look for in my IT career in general. Firstly, and contrary to popular opinion, I don't really feel like working remote is best for me. As it stands right now, I roll out of bed, and walk 5 feet to my desk, and I'm tired all day because I associate being in that room with sleeping or resting. The second thing is, and I'm trying to be very careful about not confusing this with the first thing, is that I wonder if I might enjoy an IT related job that doesn't require sitting behind a desk more. Even more than I've ever loved anything like networking or administration, I love getting up and installing equipment with my hands. Lastly, and this is a bit more personal, I know that my experience with jobs in the past leads me to believe that I have issues committing to one thing, and sticking with it until I've learned everything there is to know about it. I don't want to jump ship on a good job if I am wrong about something else being a better fit, I wonder if anyone else here has experienced that sort of thing. Basically, I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice or recommendations for my situation. TL:DR: I like hardware and movement more than I like sitting behind a desk, advice? [link] [comments] |
| Trying to find a job and feeling defeated (Reposted from r/it) Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:50 PM PST I dont post much here on Reddit but I think this might be the best and only place I can get some real help. I'm a 21 year old guy living in Washington state. I just earned my Batchelors in IT from the University of Washington earlier this year and ever since i graduated I've been applying for jobs with no success. Ive had a few interviews and even fewer followup interviews, but most places I apply to I never hear back from. I strongly believe the reason I'm not getting hired is because I dont have any actual work experience in the field. I've held a part time job since I was 16 and currently work as a cashier at a local Big 5. The last job I applied for and hear back from I was really hopeful about. I had a good first phone interview, and then a really good second Zoom interview. The manager I talked to seemed to really like me and said that I should hope to hear from them fairly soon after that interview. That was over 3 weeks ago and even tho I've emailed them twice now I've gotten no response. This is also not the first time this has happened. I understand this is pretty common when it comes to job hunting but it really just makes me feel like all my time spent going to school was a waist. So I guess my overall plea to people would be this: What is it I need to do to stand out and get hired? I've thought about Certs but I have no idea what ones I should look into and go for obtaining. I just want to start working someone and get my foot in the door. I know once I do and I get a year or two of that experience under my belt then I'll be pretty set to keep moving up, but what more do I need to do to get started? Thank you in advance to everyone and I hope you all have a good holiday season. [link] [comments] |
| Servicenow Admin Vs Microsoft Admin which one should I do !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 04:52 PM PST Hey everyone so I've got about 2 1/2 years of helpdesk experience all in the cleared space with the govt. I've went from call center to tier 3 in about a year. I currently have my sec + but I'm looking for something new. I'd like to possibly move into the sys admin side of things. I'm trying to decide between the servicenow admin route vs the Microsoft azure admin. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| How much time should I expect to be at my current company? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 02:01 PM PST I'm working for a F500 company. Pay is good but I'm a little worried of being too comfortable in my current position. Besides, I don't see any growth opportunities in here. I'd like to switch jobs soon, maybe in a couple months or so. However I'm just wondering if it's too soon to do it. I've been here for a little less than a year as FE developer. Keep in mind that this is my first job, so I'm looking for some mentoring and career development. What interests me the most is not being considered as a job hopper, is 1 year too soon?? Your comments are well appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| My career in IT after immigration to US.Successes and failures. Posted: 02 Dec 2021 03:31 PM PST I am on the brink of switching to my last (possibly) job before retiring. Just decided to share career story. Background(before moving to America): 10 years in IT: desktop publishing, a bit of designer, a bit of 3D (Corel, Quark Express, PageMaker, 3D Studio, Photoshop, PC and Mac) - 3 years. System administrator - users support, network support, repairing workstations, supervising office network and office phone system - 5 years. Programming (databases) - 2 years. Max salary - $32k/yr. Before that - 20 years as a scientist in biology, diploma cum laude, PhD. Moved to US as H1B. One of those bodyshops. Contractor on $30/hr in Chicago. First job - 1.5 yrs. Was developing Oracle DB application. Project completed, contract completed. During this 1st job system architect(and team lead) quit in the middle of project, left me alone to finish half-done app. Managed to complete it following his plans. After the client 'let me go' they changed their mind and decided immediately start migrating the app to MySQL. Never went live(as I heard). First time desperately searching for job for 3 months. Nothing available, was getting ready to try my luck in Canada. Eventually found it for $25/hr(recession). 1 year working hard and enjoyed it in a serious company A. Nice environment, reasonable management, good architecture. Master gave me his sock, Dobby is free! Year later switched to FTE in the client's company, $80k/yr. All is nice, but I need more money - has no assets, nor place to live, no car, nor savings, have to support elderly parents in my native country. After 1 year, quit from company A, took a job in Ohio for $55/hr. Working really hard for 3 yrs, met very nice and friendly people, enjoyed the life in a tiny town. All of sudden was notified my contract is over, no explanations. Client's management was quite shitty, permanent political games. I was stupid enough trying to apply again to the same client, recruiters said - 'they told us 'he is not with us anymore for a reason'. Have totally no idea what this reason was, never had a bad word from the management, loved the challenging and hard work, worked with utmost dedication. Whatever. Another 3 months of job search. Eventually got 2 offers, one in Minnesota, immediate start, job details almost unknown they wanted me badly. Another one from Cincinnati, very interesting task but with 'we don't know when exactly to start, no, we cannot show you our office, no we cannot tell you who the client is, no, no need for technical interview, just sign the offer'. Sounds fishy, right? Signed the offer from Minnesota, drove there at the edge of darn cold winter. Tiny recruiting company - 1 guy with one room rented office, his wife as an accountant and HR. $62/hr. Client does not have immediate task, after a month of doing nothing, asking every week for assignment, watching youtube most of the time (client complained about that to recruiter) eventually got the assignment: build us sale discounts processing application. Literally: 'but you already have one, what are the requirements, how it should be different from current one?" - "we don't know, just build it". - "This is not how it works, you need and architect, you need a business requirements document, you need a team of developers" - "OK, we will consider that". Still no activity, month later they hired "architect" from North Dakota, Italian guy who never built any architecture for any project before. After another month of doing nothing he presented 'architecture document', quite pathetic, started asking him questions about taskflow and very basic architecture details - not a single answer, except but 'I don't know yet'. Started looking for the next job. Month later was notified contract is closed, in 4 month wrote not a single line of code, but they honestly paid for each month. Became a proud citizen.BTW, another offer I had before, in Cincinnati, turned up quite well, they started to work 2 months after I rejected, and they were doing a great project. Go figure. Lesson learned: in job search when someone wants you badly - it is their problem. What matter is - what _YOU_ want most of all. In 2 weeks found another job in Minnesota, same $62/hr. No assignment in 2 months, after that they told me their project was not approved, they don't need me anymore. They are sorry. Sorry, my ass. They were kind enough and told me they will pay for another 2 weeks, but I only need to show up from time to time these 2 weeks. Was paid in full. Last day of that 2 weeks,got a sudden call from company A from Chicago where I worked before. They want me back for $115k plus perks. Jumped into my car, drove back to Chicago, stayed at the same rental apartment. Worked happily with them for another 5 years, raised to $125K. Company was purchased by huge financial mogul. Started sending us idiotic orders on how to arrange our development, absolutely inappropriate, just wrong. Once nice and professional management started playing rat's games. Like, firing people for no reason (my colleague's manager told him before: "I don't like you". Colleague was orthodox jew, manager - immigrant from China,go figure again). Another colleague (girl) rushed crying from her manager's office, quit in a week. There was nothing wrong with her professionally. Headquarters IT gave an order - "everything must be AGILE only!" . Our project, which is just a support of legacy application, is totally inappropriate for agile. To comply with the orders, our managers arranged a fake agile, which consist of daily standup (nobody cares about each other's task) and 3-4 hours blah-blah-blah meetings daily with funky names ('backlog grooming', f.e. You know what 'grooming' is? It is what monkeys do when they search for parasites in each other's fur. They pick them parasites up and eat them.)Avg new task deployment time increased from 1-2 weeks to 3-4 months. Called 'streamlined process' After that I added a motto to my LinkedIn profile: "When I hear the word 'agile', I reach for my revolver" Our IT management decided to 're-write' the existing application we were supporting and enhancing for 20(!) years on a totally different technology (Java+JS) and totally buggy unreliable framework. Of course, no documentation in 20 years of development. Weird business logic (every real one is weird). At the team meeting I was stupid enough (once again) and asked - "that new application, will it have some enhancements, improvements, better functionality than current one?" The answer: 'No, it should be exactly the same but on a new platform". Also asked - "have business users asked for new application, are there any complaints about current one?" - "No".The only explanation - notorious 'job security', to keep IT team of 30 developers (80% of 'team' online from overseas) busy and allow managers to receive top money.I am in Oracle, SQL etc for 20 years, was told to develop purely java-based rather complicated front-end GUI. Last 1on1 with manager: "I want you to learn [java-based framework] whether you like it or not. Period!" ( I quote). Nobody gave me orders like that in my 30 years of IT career. And nobody will. And, obviously, I hate Java. "For a reason". To become Java expert you need at least 5 years of dedicated work, I am already expert in SQL/PLSQL. And I have my preferences what I really want to learn, and it is not Java GUI. Well, just signed a new offer in a neighboring state, planning to start in a week. Remote until Covid as all of them are now. Oracle and PostgreSQL. Very challenging, love it. Wish me luck. [link] [comments] |
| Network engineer looking to move to DevOps / SRE. Am I ready? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:53 AM PST About me: -Recent CCIE -Been in networking for 8 years -Works in private / hybrid cloud provider ( typical physical DC + Nexus + SDN) mixed with Azure and AWS -Many services are Linux based (CentOS): DNS (bind), Firewalls (iptables), Load balancers (haproxy) etc. -Provision infra as a code in Azure with Terraform and Ansible (basic CI/CD) -Knows Python + Bash + Grafana + Prometheus + Git (nothing too deep but can resolve hard leetcode tasks etc.) I'm burned out with classic networking and I want to move into DEVOPS/ SRE / Platform engineering so I can WFH 100%. Would this skill set be enough to make a switch or I'd need to focus on some other skills? [link] [comments] |
| upcoming technical interview forJr Level Desktop Engineer. I don't know what to expect? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 07:30 PM PST Gents, recently i posted question in this humble community about how to move from my current company and title. Currently i am with a company for 7 years and had promotions during these years. However i am stuck at Service Desk Analyst title and of course payment is still the same so i started looking in the marked to make my way up in salary and grow my skill set. I haven't really done interviewing pretty much for the time i been with this company so everything seems to be moving very fast or faster for what i remember use to be. I already had 2 meetings with what i assume were recruiters that help the company finding right prospects, both interviews went well (weren't really technical) so now i am scheduled for a meeting with the hiring manager, the Desktop engineer manager and other technical people in his team. This is the first of 2 technical meetings i will have to be in for the role of Jr Level Desktop Engineer. I know my stuff and what i don't know i end up learning and adding it to my skill set but quite honest i am very insecure before going to this technical meeting, i don't know what to expect, i am not sure if i want to go thru this 1 hour meeting and be maybe ask for things i am not familiar with, my imposter syndrome is crawling on me so much right now.

| Interview advice for college student - Cyber Security Posted: 02 Dec 2021 11:43 AM PST So I am a college student who will be graduating in Spring 23', Apart from this I work as a L1 Helpdesk tech at an MSP and have my A+ cert. I am studying Cyber Security and recently began to apply to internships in this field. I am starting to get emails to schedule interviews with companies hiring Cyber Security Interns but I feel as though my Cyber Security knowledge is lacking and I am seeking advice. My general IT knowledge is solid from my job and A+ cert but I haven't taken enough Security classes to be well versed just yet but I don't want to pass up these internships. What should I do?

| How I mentor my workforce 30 Plus Years of Experience Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:57 PM PST I'm a Cybersecurity Deputy Director for a federal agency , I started in The US Army as a help desk tech, and my first task out of the stalls was upgrading our Zenith 386 PCs to a whopping 4 Megs of RAM…WooHoo… I volunteer my 30+ years of experience to our internship program to help up and coming cyber professionals mature in this field. In addition, 2 of my 3 children have followed in my footsteps. I would recommend that you watch and familiarize yourself with this crazy world by watching and soaking up a good understanding of the ITF, but skip the cert. It will make your grasp of A+ a bit better. This is the training program I ask my interns And own children to follow on their professional development. IFT (noCert you can find cheap classes on Udemy or Stackskills for this one) A+, Net+, Sec+ then branch off from there. Training aides:
Also, Google IT Cert is Amazing starting point. Here is the link to the Google I.T. Support Professional Certificate: There are 5 courses in this professional certificate course and you will need to pass all five:
I believe Google/Coursera is still offering a 7 day trial. Please Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Also check with your local library as they might offer online resources that I mentioned above for FREE!! Good Luck! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2021 02:47 PM PST As stated in title, I am considered a Junior student with my Associate of Arts in general education and am now working towards my Bachelors Degree in IT at University. I am desperately needing a job and some beginning experience. I want to get started and learn by doing as soon as possible. I have taken courses on Python and OS Architecture so far. This Spring semester I will be taking 4 more IT classes. I have applied to entry-level jobs in IT like Help-Desk and Technical Support but I am not getting any calls back. I live in a rural town and most local jobs are 50+ minutes away from me. Because of this I prefer to find a Remote WFH position. I really don't want to get a job in anything else thats not IT related so I'm holding off to hear back from a job application but it is just not happening. So many of these entry-level jobs want experienced people already. Does anyone have advice on finding my first job? It could be useful keywords, sites to use, etc. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| What would you do if you never got paid from your MSP for mileage? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:26 PM PST I worked a small MSP, and they never paid out for all the mileage I drove for the 3-4 months I worked there, which was a lot… I was told to attach time and mileage to tickets, and I'd be expensed, but then never received disbursement. I followed up with them a month or so after I quit asking and received "Hey Alex:) hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday snd are excited for Christmas!! We definitely are:)) I'm very sorry I haven't gotten to this yet we have been crazy since we last spoke. I'll try to have an answer for you this week. Unfortunately I Can't guarantee anything because once tickets are closed a reimbursement may not be possible." I'm thinking about going to DOL, but don't know if I'd be able to prove what I drove if they could delete records out of CW [link] [comments] |
| Would Jira/Atlassian Admin be a good career path for me? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 06:12 PM PST Managing these platforms have been my strongest skills so far in my career and I have been interviewing with a few companies for a role like this because my current company will not pay me what I need to support my family. I just had a technical interview and I feel like I got my ass kicked in it. So I feel like a failure and I'm having a mid life crisis so I would appreciate some advice. Would this be a good career path? Should I try something else similar? Any other skills I should try to learn as well? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone from the US move to Italy and continue in IT? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 09:06 AM PST Hi all, I currently work in IT in the US. I've been in IT for a little over 12 years now working in both internal IT and at MSPs. I am currently looking to move to Italy, and would like to continue working in this field. I am working at an MSP now doing a little bit of everything from phones to networking to level 2 remote support. I prefer working as a field technician/ on projects and working with my hands rather than sitting at a desk all day everyday doing tickets. Has anyone done this recently? Did you find a remote job in the US or work for a company in Italy? How hard was it to get a Visa to live there? Did you already speak Italian before you moved? (I currently only speak English) How long did it take you to find a job? Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Recent Business graduate, thinking of making the move to IT, should I? How? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 05:47 PM PST I'm a final year business student, chose the wrong degree 4 years ago but I gritted my teeth and I've gotten this far, should graduate with a 2.1 (3.0 GPA?) this summer, fingers crossed. I think I want to make the move to IT, if possible. I like computers always have. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I was working in IT would I... - Get variety (i.e not at a desk 9-5 5 days a week?) - Get to learn continuously? - I don't want to just clock in and out doing the same thing indefinitely, but at the same time the familiar isn't the worst thing in the world. - Solve problems? But not exclusive to banging my head off a desk over a little ';'. - Learn transferable skills, be employable etc? - Could I one day start a business with said skills. Generally I like being busy, I like doing things and fixing things.. The most successful guy I know does IT for schools, he was a systems architect for a few years before that, saw an opportunity 10+ years ago and worked like hell for it. That's someone I'd like to emulate. Am I? If so, how do I go about getting into IT with a (pretty useless) Business degree? [link] [comments] |
| New to IT Recruiting, feeling lost after realizing LinkedIn is not the way to go Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:33 PM PST Hi there, I am a longtime Reddit user but not so long-time tech recruiter who is now going to be focusing on IT/Development roles for the foreseeable future. I am trying to find my way in this very hot market and would love to have some insight on where and how to approach talent? What is it that can make a message stand out? I don't want to become another annoying recruiter whose messages will be ignored by literally hundreds of people. [link] [comments] |
| How can my M.S. in MIS be leveraged now that I am in a good entry level role. Posted: 02 Dec 2021 05:06 PM PST I graduated in 2020 with B.S in Info sytems (from my university's School of Mgmt), during COVID. Could not find a good opportunity until the end of the year so I started my M.S. in MIS. In summer 2021, I was offered a full-time role relevant to my academic background and took it at 62.5k base salary at a bank, located in Texas, while most of my team in a different state. The area of IT I am work within is called IT Business Operations, the title is IT analyst or likely business analyst depending on the company. I mostly do project management work, which at my level consists of assisting or managing projects for experienced PMs. My role still feels ambiguous, other stuff I'm currently doing is tracking employee time in PowerBI for my boss, helping him design a scorecard for IT leadership, and working on designing an internship and early career program for new grads. I'm still working on the M.S. part time and will be almost 60% done this year. Now that I have a good entry-level role, how do I leverage the M.S. I've already started in the long term?

| Interview questions to ask them for help desk position? Posted: 02 Dec 2021 01:18 PM PST What technical questions would you ask your interviewer about to make it seem like you know what you're talking about? Like is asking how big their network a good one? Is that bad phrasing? Just questions that make it seem like I have experience. How big is the IT team? Edit: So I had the interview and it's my personal best interview I've ever done which is not a gigantic amount and the bar imo has been quite low due to nerves but this one was solid. Hopefully I get ittttt! [link] [comments] |
| How to get a sysadmin job with 5+ desktop support experience Posted: 02 Dec 2021 10:50 AM PST I have been working in the IT field for a few years now. I have been doing a little bit of everything. I have worked on Projects such as Racking and stacking network and server equipment. built out the IT infrastructure for a new site (While not configuring everything I played an important part of helping the remote engineers). SD-WAN conversions. In my current job I manager all of our DHCP reservations and Print Servers. I just don't have the title and am still required to do desktop support. Do you think this is enough experience to grab a Sysadmin type of role? I don't currently have any certifications. I was going to try and get the MCSE but its retired. There just doesn't seem to be anything comparable out there right now [link] [comments] |
