| I am confused about what to do next Posted: 16 Jun 2022 07:57 PM PDT Hello all, I just got a job offer today for an L1 Helpdesk role. I am confused about what to do next. My ultimate goal is to get into IT security but I know it's not an entry-level field I can get into. I'm pivoting towards networking next but I am not sure if that's the right thing to do. I'm really just confused about the pathway to security. Thank you in advance! P.S. I have an associate's in Cybersecurity, I am pursuing my bachelor's, I have attained my CompTIA A+, and I am pursuing my CompTIA Network+. [link] [comments] |
| What's a reasonable expectation for knowledge/expertise in the field? Posted: 16 Jun 2022 08:04 PM PDT Hi all, Is there such a thing as a role/title who is very knowledgeable in all basic areas of IT e.g. Networking, server, programming, etc? My guess is this would be a very senior role, if it is even a thing. I ask as I am planning out where I'd like to specialize in (only 3+ yrs experience) but I find that I really do like most computing related stuff in general. It's probably not reasonable but I feel a drive to really be good at all of it haha. Thankfully, I already have the core skills of insane curiosity, good troubleshooting, and research.

| should I Ignore this job offer? Posted: 16 Jun 2022 05:37 PM PDT I've been trying to find my first IT job two days ago I got an from a company asking me to fill out this "Sample Aptitude Assessment" then I assume I'll proceed to an interview is that normal for IT jobs? it has like basic math problems on it and a shape related question, I looked up the company and they gave a 3.0 rating aswell, today they sent me another email saying they've extended the assessment a couple more days for me to complete. the only upside to this is that they're 20 minutes from my house and they're so far the only ones to reach back out to me. but what do you think should I ignore this email?

| 90 day mark approaching - is my contingency plan? Posted: 16 Jun 2022 07:57 PM PDT So my 90 mark as a sys admin is approaching and I needed to have something as a backup in case they decide to let me go instead of keeping me. So I got this other role i recently got interviewed for and looks like they want me to start in July. My concern is if the job I'm in already decide to keep me, what's the best way to decline the other one I got interviewed for of they ever extend an offer? Or I can bring it up before any offer is made and just say I'm not interested anymore. [link] [comments] |

| Not sure if this interview I got is for a job that plans to underpay me? Posted: 16 Jun 2022 06:41 PM PDT This job has an entry level title (role is entry level) but says experience in details. The skills they are looking for isn't entry level. I have these skills listed because I got them from my CCENT and degree courses and they are the skills I focus on my own time but my only tech job doesn't use most of those so they aren't mentioned in my job experience descriptions. I'm not so sure what the expertise level of this job posting is and if I might be getting an interview because they think I would be capable of picking it up while being able to justify lower pay for me.

| How to get your foot in the door. Posted: 16 Jun 2022 06:35 PM PDT Good day all! I have a friend who wants to get into an IT career but doesn't have any prior experience in IT. My fiend does have a bachelors but not in computer science. Any tips or suggestions? Current resume shows stuff not at all related to IT. Any help is appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jun 2022 06:28 PM PDT Right now I'm doing basic analyst stuff (lot of troubleshooting, some SQL, basic stuff). My company has a lot of internal opportunities and I've seen people in my department (which is more or less support) go into positions like Business Analyst, QA, security, etc. I want to start developing marketable skills so I can get a job outside the company, and I'm focusing on a few things...namely Python, Cloud-based skills, and SQL....with those 3 kinds of skills, what are some positions I could look into which would help me develop those skills? Again I don't think I'm skilled enough to do any of the 3 perfectly, but I do want to vastly improve them and if I talk to the hiring managers within my company many would be open if someone shows they're willing to learn. Based on that, what jobs should I look into? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jun 2022 06:25 PM PDT I recently had an interview with a mid level IT firm in a mid level cost of living city. The entire hour interview was discussion around leadership, coaching, development, etc. and nothing tech related. I don't have certs but have a pretty deep level of tech savvy behind my leadership and development experience. I would be leading a team of about 11. Where I'm struggling is that I can't seem to find a confident market value for supervisory positions like this. The organization was thrilled with my interview and is asking what my salary range is. I don't want to give a number first but, what is the typical range for this type of position? Thanks folks! [link] [comments] |
| Best Cyber Security cert after Security+? Posted: 16 Jun 2022 05:06 PM PDT I am currently studying for the CCNA and afterwards I want to do Security+. I want to pursue a career in security but am unsure of where to go after. I've seen CySA+, PNPT, and eJPT but unsure on which would be better or would help me most. [link] [comments] |
