Haven't been on NT much after the switch, good to see everyone is doing well. luckyluchiano Deloitte is considered Big 4 , a ton of Deloitte positions available in the DC area.
Nice I met someone on Twitter working for Vectrus out in Kuwait. I'm in Japan doing overseas contracting in a systems engineer role.
Why are you planning to sit for A+? Comp Sci/Soft Eng major you are honestly wasting your time. Your wasting your time because as a software engineer you will be coding, not doing IT related work and the A+ is just extremely easy. It's better for getting into help desk to get your foot in the door in IT.
If you want to get one of the three main comptia certs get the Security+ certification. Not sure what area you are in but this cert opens up some doors in the government/govt contractor industry.
You can get Security+
Overall let me give you some advice my supervisor just gave me during this Windows 10 deployment traveling gig: "IT is IT where ever you go". The same error code you get at your house could be the same error code you get in the field. You have to be comfortable running into errors and troubleshooting it quickly in your head and then failing when you troubleshoot. That's when you get the excitement of tackling the challenge of the error. If you look at IT certs as the key to landing a high paying job then you'll be tossed into a never ending loophole of wasting money on certs and being passed over for interviews. You have to talk the talk in IT to begin to walk that walk. Trust me.. I was you.

da r entertainment Thanks brah ill check it out...if you just get a cert with no experience and cant land a job then how do you even start? lol
Seen this too many times, dudes lack essential non routine cognitive skills. Heartbreaking because they'll get the check over someone who's a quick learner, adaptable and strong troubleshooting just because they have that paper.Very TRUE.
I've worked in so many places where people get hired because they have a of ton certs on their resume but can't actually do basic troubleshooting for the job they are hired for.
One dude came into a place I worked at had a Security+ and CCNA and dude didn't know what DHCP, DNS, or TCP IP was.
OAN, I've finally learned how to comfortably subnet. I'm currently attending WGU for Networking and it's helping me further understand IT.

Used to have a site called learn2subnet that made me understand subnetting easily in like 5 mins, it was just the best way of explaining it. Can't find it anymore though. I'm at WGU too, switching majors though from IT Management to Network Ops and Security. Couldn't turn down those like 11 certs and degree all in one shot.
Any advice for someone who was just thrown into a Mac specialist role with very little Mac experience?
It seems it'll be just basic troubleshooting and the occasional VPN troublshooting here and there.
Learn as much as you can down with your downtime. I usually handle Mac issues at our company and most times it's trial by error or a simple google search helps me out.
Also if ya'll use sccm, jamf/casper or a similar mdm, dive all the way into that. It's one of those unique specialties that the moment that not many are into, but it won't be that way for too long.
Google has definitely been my bestfriend while working with these users and Macs. I've had to do things outside of work since the last Mac specialist left without providing any documentation for anything and not everything can be handled on a company's network.
We do use Casper here so I'll definitely will look more into it.
Start documenting your findings as well.
Indeed. XenMobile is also pretty good to know.Also if ya'll use sccm, jamf/casper or a similar mdm, dive all the way into that. It's one of those unique specialties that the moment that not many are into, but it won't be that way for too long.
