| Is it normal to find your new job overwhelming? Posted: 29 May 2022 05:16 AM PDT I started a new job at a financial institutions. I'm a IT Technician. I'm only here a year for work experience. 2nd line support I have had no experience working in IT before. I have only been into IT as a hobby e.g building PCs, backups, reimaging, cleaning Windows etc. I know a little about A.D because I have done the basics on my university module last year They use Sophos AV to lock down and secure their work iPads and iPhones, they have a server that they can re image PCs from (new to me) and another PC where they connect it via Ethernet to add it to the domain. They also have a lot of servers that I can remote into for different purposes. They patch machines using Ivanti and stuff. Is it normal to be overwhelmed? It seems to be straightforward. But it can take me a while to get used to stuff. I started last week and some guy was training me and telling me what to do, but he was socially awkward or something and wasn't great at explaining stuff, which is understandable. [link] [comments] |
| IT-Security positions „on-call duty“ yes/no? Posted: 29 May 2022 09:01 AM PDT Hi all, as mentioned in the headline, the question how you stand to „on-call duty" in IT security positions. I think for the most part, of course, it's also a personal attitude to decide for or against it. Is it a bad trade off? Have you had any experiences with this? The background is that I am interested in a security engineering position. However, I am required to be on call duty (remote). For the moment I don't know what to support during those shift's but it's telephone only. [link] [comments] |
| Week into job and company announced horrible HR policy Posted: 29 May 2022 06:13 AM PDT Hey so as the title says, I started a new job about a week in and they announced something that goes against all the values they've been promoting. They say they are family oriented, they care about investing in their people. They believe in radical candor which means being empathetic and challenging problems directly. They announce that paternity / maternity leave will run concurrent with your vacation time and the maternity / paternity leave is only 6 weeks. So essentially you lose your vacation if you have a kid. For a company that preaches being "people first" how can they claim that when they don't even match the FMLA standards set in it's home state? I've had my kids and don't see ever needing that, but the disconnect is very concerning. It seems the opposite of what I've been told the values of the company. What are your thoughts on this? Should I address my concern with my bosses when they've told us they want us to speak up? (For the record the company is around 400 employees) [link] [comments] |
| lost and frustrated with myself Posted: 29 May 2022 09:28 AM PDT I'll try to keep this brief So recently I started a wfh lvl 1 support role and have realized I absolutely hate the call center type helpdesk work. I want to move up as I already have a year and some change in experience so I decided to niche myself and learn a valuable skill. I've tried to learn python and end up utterly lost and confused, I'm currently trying powershell which is a bit tamer but also feel it may be out of my league. My next idea is AWS certs but I'm feeling less and less confident as I drop/give up on one and try to hop to another subject. Just feel like I'm losing motivation but don't want to be stuck dealing with phone lines and constant pressure from call center bs. I'd much rather work on projects with a dedicated team than ve shoved on lines all day one after another. When I try to learn something new, I either lose interest or get lazy or simply can't retain or grasp the new information Sorry if this seems ranty. Just needed to vent a little too. Anyone face a similar period in their career? Any insight, advice, or just general comments are greatly appreciated. Have a good Sunday! [link] [comments] |
| Cloud architect engineer career Posted: 29 May 2022 07:58 AM PDT I have been working as a software engineer over 6 years. I am thinking to move my career to as a cloud architect engineer. Any suggestion how or where should I start from? I am interested more in Azure cloud infrastructure. Appreciate any valuable suggestions. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2022 06:14 AM PDT I am 24 years old from India and have completed my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering but later don't find mechanical as my cup of tea After completing my bachelor's in 2018, I started working as a recruiter because of lockdown and I worked from home I like working from home but it was working in nightshift So for a change, I went to the middle east and started looking for IT jobs, but most IT jobs are acquired by citizens, and AWS is not that popular. So after some time, I got a job in recruiting Now I have 4 years of experience and making good money in the Middle east. I do recruit very easily out of 9 hours I complete my task in 2 hours and don't feel any challenging, I believe someone with little experience can also do it. I sometimes feel uncomfortable in my position and feel it would have been better for me to work in software (Cloud Engineer) reason is pay is better and can work from any location at any point in time. if I returned back to India I can still continue, but now have to start from scratch meanwhile I wrote IELTS and scored 7.0 bands. I'm planning to do a master's in software engineering in the U.S. or Canada. The only problem is that I have to start over, and I have to work and study at the same time. Parents say you are making good money and in a better position and why would you bother yourself but every time I feel like I can do better but I don't know what to do. Note: I like the IT industry * I am good at completing my work in a given time. I need career advice. Should I start working in software or go abroad to study or continue what I am doing?

| Best linux cert focused on networking? Posted: 29 May 2022 06:11 AM PDT Hello all, wondering what the best Linux cert would be for learning more about networking within a linux space. Have a CCNA but my company is very Linux based and I want to get up to speed quickly on navigating and using Linux based tools like mtr, netstat, iptables, stuff like that. Any tips are greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
