| Posted: 25 Feb 2022 05:14 AM PST For $9.00 I asked if they could go higher since that's the starting Wage and I already have experien-- quickly was interrupted saying the $9/hr is non-negotiable; and that if I work hard and have good grades I could possibly get a 25c raise in six months. Also they only want me for 5 hours a week. ???? I understand this is because I'm a student but... what? [link] [comments] |
| Finally landed the career I wanted. You can do it to! Don't give up! Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:31 AM PST Just wanted to say to everyone to keep pushing yourselves. I got my start in IT a bit over a year ago. Worked at an MSP most of the time and received several certifications. Now I am finally out of my low paying entry level job with a Sys admin position making a comfortable amount of money. I had to apply to hundreds of jobs, but I finally made it. I appreciate the feedback I have gotten from r/ITCareerQuestions [link] [comments] |
| Mistakes that ended in you or someone else being fired? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 10:45 AM PST Just curious to see if anyone has any stories about themselves or someone else being fired for a technical mistake they've made at work? In my career I've cut off access to a file server by messing up permissions, and I've caused a network outage or two through mistakes like accidentally shutting down a switch interface and locking myself out, or configuring the wrong NAT rule on a firewall. I've held my hands up immediately every time I've made a mistake like this... I've never had so much as a stern talking to (we're all human, after all), but I get the sense some employers may not be so forgiving? [link] [comments] |
| CompTIA A+, when is the next retirement date going to be? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:52 AM PST Since coming across this Reddit, I've been studying for this exam, in hopes of breaking into the IT industry. I was trying to find out when the next retirement date is for the current exams but was unable to find a direct answer from CompTIA themselves. Does anyone know/have a rough idea? I'm just wondering if it's worth studying current material or if I should wait for updated material? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:20 PM PST I am looking for work at an internal IT position and I have heard decent things about it however I have had most of my working experience in MSP work and it has all been terrible. What keywords can I use to find the internal IT jobs on job search websites to land a role? I have had 5 years of System administrative experience and am upper junior level (almost senior). Any help would be appreciated as I am desperate to get back to work (just not for an MSP anymore). Thank you all. [link] [comments] |
| Failed both A+ tests. Advice for taking them again? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:18 PM PST I'm about to graduate with an associates degree in applied science. I'm attempting to get into tech (main reason I went to get my AA) During college I took the A+ (part of college course) I failed both the 1001 and 1002. With a score in the mid 600's each time. My plan is to finish college and study for the A+ again while working (figured it'd be easier studying for it by itself instead of juggling a bunch of classes). It seems like I just can't pass these tests. Any advice for me? I used professor messer and Testout to study (Testout was our main learning tool supplied by the college). I want to get into tech as it's the only skill i'm vaguely good at but it's hard when you have to pay 100 bucks to try again. [link] [comments] |

| Starting internship after a big break in the IT world. Please let me know your advice. Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:41 PM PST Background: First time posting here but been a reader for a while. I live in the US now but I'm from a different country. While living abroad, after a couple call centers as CSR I managed to land a role as part of Access Management Team for a MSP that had GE(General Electric) as their main campaign. Pretty much lots of AD groups and users, Exchange 2010, ARP, iDM, and all the lingo that I can't remember much no more. This was about 8 years ago…. Currently: After becoming an American citizen I decided to go back to school. Did GED in less than a week, and went for a Network and sys admin associates at my local college (Texas). Im half way thru it now and I managed to land a 20ish/week paid internship (after being referred by my CCNA professor) as I guess Helpdesk/solo type of guy at a small mom and pops company. My internship mentor is in a diff city and pretty much have access to Meraki (Desktop Central), AD, and all the jazz that helpdesk gotta do. I guess everything has happened really fast for me and I'm still trying to see where I'm at. I should be going for my CCNA this summer, feel very confident about it. I was told by my internship mentor to try to get the windows server admin fundamentals, which honestly as far as I can tell seems pretty easy. My plan is to finish the degree and since idk how long the internship is(wasn't told) just stay there until I feel confortable enough to apply for sys admin roles. What do you think about my career path? Am I in a good direction? Any comment is much appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| Thinking of making the switch to IT does anyone know if this is legit? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:22 PM PST Saw this add and was curious if it is legit or just another scam. I was thinking of trying to get A+ certified and then branching into stuff from there while working help desk if I could get a job. I need to make the switch in a few years being a massage therapist currently is beating me up to much after 11 years of it.

| Best career in 6 months in case of war starts in my country? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:17 PM PST I am from Eastern Europe and you already know what is happening around here. I live in a country that has Ukraine as a neighbour, so we might be next in the future. I want to start from now a career path that if war starts in my country in the next 6 months, I can be safe with my career choice if I go to US for e.g (meaning get a job quickly that allows me and my family for a place to stay and guarantee the minimum neccesities). Any opinions? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Ex-financials/auditors: is being an IT developer more or less difficult? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:48 AM PST I'm 26 and in my second year as a assistant financial auditor, but I see myself having a bit of a difficult time to grasp everything at work. My manager told me today that she sees that I'm slow at picking things up and I take too long to get to the skill level I need to be. I think (or I hope at least) it is due to my lack of interest, because I don't like my job that much and I just do it because I studied for it. As I'm considering a change to an IT career, how difficult is it to become a full stack developer (and to work as one)? Is there anyone who has a financial background (auditor, controller, accountant, etc.) and can say which one is more difficult? Feel free to react if you switched to a any role within IT from a financial/business background. [link] [comments] |
| What IT field can I learn in the shortest time and then find a job? (Due to situation in Ukraine) Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:34 AM PST Hello. Due to the situation in Ukraine (personally my family and I not from Ukraine, but very close to Russia), we decided to change our location and move to Europe (more quiet place) at least for some time. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have a job ... Before I've worked as a QA Engineer 5 years, but competition in Software Testing is very high at the moment, so I am not sure that I can find a job quickly. So my question is ... what's the IT field is possible to learn in the shortest time (ASAP) and find a job? At the moment I know: HTML / CSS / Jmeter / Linux / SQL (MySQL) / Postman / Python (a little bit) / Jira. May be I should add something to my stack, but don't know what exactly. Please give me a useful advices, because I am in the panic about all this situation in Ukraine. BTW, my passion is cyber security but unfortunately to switch from QA to Cyber is quite hard and more time is needed. [link] [comments] |
| How long to stay in Helpdesk and can I move on to Cyber Security with just a Sec+ Posted: 25 Feb 2022 03:59 AM PST Live in the UK and been in help desk for around 5 months and while I enjoy it and get along with my co-workers I still want to move on to cyber security at some point. I only have A+ and studying for Sec+ which I plan to get next month. My question is, would less than a year exp in help desk and a sec+ be enough for a cyber security job? [link] [comments] |
| Is learning python worth it or should I study another coding language? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:19 AM PST I am thinking about learning python just to add to my resume.

| Looking for initial salary negotiation advice. What is a reasonable % more to ask for? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:07 AM PST As the title says, what is a reasonable % increase to ask for when negotiating initial salary? I currently have about 2 years of Contract Help Desk and Desktop support experience working with troubleshooting a plethora of problems including software, OS, hardware, networks, etc. Current position:$37 per hour and no benefits at all Interviewing for position:$50,000 salaryFull benefits; 401k match, 3 weeks pto, insurance, etc Extra info: I get my insurance elsewhere so I won't necessarily need that, but the stability of a full time position and pto is important to me as having to "pay" to take time off can be grueling. I do really like the company as it is local and based 5 blocks from my house and steadily growing nationwide due to a very popular concept. Question: I have the experience for the job and know I will be a good fit and how to portray that. The recruiter flat out said they wanted someone with less experience that is cheaper that can grow with the company. *Do I ask for more? If so, how much is reasonable to ask for? Or... Do I take what they offer and get my increases as they come? I also thought about requesting a 2 month performance review for a salary increase bonus if agreed upon metrics are accomplished. Thoughts on all of this? Just looking for advice on what you might do as I have only ever negotiated with contracting companies for a basic pay and not also considered benefits [link] [comments] |

| Questions about Ian Martin Group and Contract Work Posted: 25 Feb 2022 09:26 AM PST I just got a call from someone claiming to represent Ian Martin Group. I can't find great information on it, and was wondering if anyone on here has any experience or heard anything about them? The recruiter reached out to me for a contracted entry-level IT analyst position. I'd love to hear opinions on contracted work as well - I'm still starting off my career. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Does the Google IT Support Professional Certificate prepare you for the CompTIA A+? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:12 AM PST I am currently going through the Google program, and wanted to know if this track would prepare me for the CompTIA A+. I have already been to college for something other than CS, and have a family so I am not wanting to enroll back into college. I am wanting to eventually get into Cyber Security, but would start as an IT help desk specialist. Any input helps. [link] [comments] |
| Is the Google IT support certificate worth? Just signed up for it. Posted: 25 Feb 2022 03:41 AM PST I just signed up and started taking the course to get some basis for IT. Trying to change my career and start with this certificate to get into comptia. Has anyone else taken this course and has it helped out with finding a job in IT? Open to suggestions if there's a better pathway to get your foot into IT! [link] [comments] |
| I can't even get a help desk job. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Posted: 25 Feb 2022 07:25 AM PST I have filled out hundreds of applications for help desk, junior sysadmin, anything I can find entry level-ish and only gotten a call from a recruiter that went no where, plus a request for a video interview that I never got a response for. I Apply on the company site, then usually message a couple recruiters on LinkedIn. Most don't respond. I have even had referrals from some people in my LinkedIn network that went no where. I am not sure what do so. My current contract is ending soon and I need something, anything really. Everyone always talks about getting into IT but it seems impossible when every job listing is mid-senior level or wants min of 3 yrs experience for $15/hr. I have Sec+. CySA+, CEH and a lot of homelab experience that's on my resume. What does it take to get into this? Edit: Link to resume https://imgur.com/a/OB2psO2 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2022 05:51 AM PST I feel like everywhere I look, job postings are looking for 3 years exp in 7+ applications/coding languages. How are they expecting people to all have the experience if no place is hiring people without those experiences? [link] [comments] |
| MSP technician wanting to move to a networking career Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:51 AM PST Hey All, I'm currently a tech at a local MSP, I do a lot of computer repair and deployment and I'm a bit stuck since the company isn't looking to upskill me into a networking role but it's been my passion for a long time, I've been toying with a home lab for a while now but I have no formal or structured self-taught knowledge, it's always been "Hey this idea is cool let's do it" and then learning off of it. As far fetched as they are my goal is to work at /start a company like Path/Cloudflare/Voxility/OVH/StackPath/TCPguard/X4B - I need to put myself in a position where I can know enough to start laying the groundwork for this, I plan to purchase a /23 and colocate some hardware in a few PoPs, it's overkill but there's a few projects I have which will get real-world use and it lets me learn in a live environment & I have the hardware so spending a few hundred a month to colocate or rent something that allows BGP Sessions is well spent in my eyes. I'm looking at doing the full suite of cisco certs (ENT,NA,NP,IE) but not getting the certification purely for the knowledge, for now, I love the idea of everything cloudflare does so anything that would aim for a role in a company like that would be well appreciated and I can set some learning targets over the next year or two.
