I love being remote but miss being able to shoulder surf or have someone show me something new. Feel like I’m losing a little learning ability.

I’m hybrid. Best of both worlds. I also work in a few different locations. Sometimes my commute is 10 minutes, at most it’s 30.

I dont know if I could do full remote work. I have two kids and although they leave me alone when I do WFH, when i take my “break” it aint even a break

Exactly why I'm always asking someone to show me something that I don't know how to do.

 

[unkn0wn]

I love working fully remote. Sold my car a year ago and just share my gf's car or uber. Saves me a lot of money and time.

My job has had a Linux sys admin position open for the longest of times . I know Linux is a bit more of a challenge but I’m curious as to what’s up.

Do people not like working with Linux that much?

 

[spiderjericho]

If you don't live and breathe it and don't administer services, it could be challenging.

But it all depends on what the job req is for your job.

had to deal with it a lot when reimaging laptops for airmen. It's unpleasant to say the least Windows sucks but at least the interface is graphical.

I need to get started on this CISSP studying. I've already used like 120 training hours from my job and I mostly just go to the gym or leave early. I bought some books but meh, I know they're going to want some sort of progress, have you scheduled the exam, by like next month though

I've been looking into digging back into Linux. Shows you're versatile.

 

[ricerocket1]

Linux is nice and definetly a good job security, plus a good hobby to boot if your into that. lots of linux desktop flavor out there and if you want to you can host your own web server. Fun thing to learn.

[Beruseruku Desu]

our IT director spoke to my team few months back and he wants our Cisco VTC systems to be amazing and top notch because the company is making people come back in office.

got an interview with another company for a UC engineering position where my current coworker at my current company actually used to be.

he was on good terms with them when he left.

yall think I should I mention in the interview that I knew someone who once held this position?

say something like

“I had the chance to speak with someone who used to work in this role, and they had a really positive experience. What would you say has changed or evolved since they were here?"

nope, your in the hot the seat not them.

 

[spiderjericho]

Obviously it’s good to pick their brain regarding the environment, etc. But unless they’re referring you, ya gotta stand ten toes deep.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

made it to the second round of interviews. imn scared their about to get technical and im gonna freeze up and have brain fart

 

[spiderjericho]

Just gotta be confident. It’s all about reps. If it doesn’t go well, just ask for feedback.

I won’t lie I’ve done some interviews at my job for candidates. People freeze up during technical interviews. I actually like them. Your experience and knowledge tend to shine through. You can’t know everything. And sometimes it’s your attitude that will shine through and convince them to give you a chance.

At this rate, high schoolers are gonna start having to get help desk jobs to get the starting experience so they won’t be SOL by the time they graduated.

Field is a little saturated as well. Everybody wants a low tier tech job. Only so much to go around. Tech skills are no longer for the few.
