I didn't get the cyber security position I interviewed for last week. It would have been a good way to get in the CS door AND was down the street from my house. 
I did get contacted about a configuration management position though. Anyone in that realm? Not exactly sure what it entails.

Just install virtual box or VMware player. Use an evaluation copy for Server 2016/2012 and Windows 10. Maybe deploy a server and two clients. Setup up a Forrest/domain, deploy GPOs, create users, setup some roles on the server, etc. Did they say what kind of environment they have?

NT fam
I'm not in the same realm of IT as some of you, I'm in data warehousing and business intelligence.
Currently for work I'm the BI Manager. Really like the job and work field.
Any other BI guys on NT?

Where I live (Tucson, AZ), most help desk jobs start from 45-55k). I'm guessing not a lot of qualified candidates live here so they had to sweeten the incentives

If taken courses on it and done some projects with BI teams but never wanted to move to that side because it seemed kind of boring lol. The info i have learned however is very interesting and critical to business nowadays so I dont regret it.

Im a BA also, next move Im looking at doing is moving into product management or a business architect type role. Leaning more to product management though.

yup thats excatly what i'm leaning towards more architect type of work. Are you doing any online class type stuff or just shadowing someone at your current job?

im a lead BA so there is no shadowing per say. The way my org works is the BAs work with the Product Owners from the product team. The product owners are typically former BAs or non technical architects who know the product real well.
Right now Im getting my masters and will probably be done next spring. Once I graduate Im going to re evaluate what move I think is best next. Many organizations are moving away from traditional BAs so BAs end up being on the product side as a product owner/product manager or they assume solution architect/business architect type roles.
