Once a month we had that a few years back when we had some folks leave. Eventually got up to a 2 month rotation.

That’s tough though man, stay the course and keep learning. All you can do.

If your company has senior engineer level positions, that’s a massive resume builder point if you can make it there

we’ll see. I planned to only be here a year or so, but i’m about to become the de-facto lead of my team so that makes things more difficult

I need a webdev to work on an already existing gazelle frontend for a private tracker

anyone experienced and can give me a quick consultation?

Got a job in software sales

Anyone itt worked as a data center technician before? How is it?

Good pay high demand as rn atleast in europe

tryhackme.com buy PRO and enjoy

yuppp been logging into my acc just about everyday for the last month.

Man I'm always happy seeing @nort itt so happy for bro

Would you say it’s a good gateway into IT with growth potential? Trying to pivot out of my field. Would be impossible to get an IT job in my area given how oversaturated things are and how im starting from zero, but data center route looks wide open

my guy

Finna run it up and dip...

What are y'all's thoughts on contract to hire roles? Got a pretty decent opportunity that'd give me a good bump in pay, but I kinda don't want to risk it, especially in this market. I have a good job now where I don't work very hard at all and still get praised lol, so I'm a bit conflicted

Ended up spending another $400

Good experience to get your foot in the door or to hold you until you find full time but by all means get out of those jobs as soon as you can bc they are awful

So I'm in an IT class, transitioning careers.

Question - for what you guys do day-to-day, did you learn mostly on the job (i.e., get trained by a colleague)?

Of course it's important to learn fundamentals, but I'm someone who feels like they need to know everything or I'm inferior/incompetent, so I've been trying to deep dive on everything tech and it's somewhat overwhelming.

On the job, bro.

I got “lucky” starting out & got “blackpilled” standing next to FAANG wunderkints.

Made me feel inferior fora brief sec, but once you find out what you’re good at, through reps, your confidence will grow.

Remember, IT exists to serve the business, not to show off…

I love using llms to quickly do my work on an application i already built from the ground up at work , i know the logic and the code, and having the LLM generate some code for me is easy to review and understand . In a way its good to automate tedious tasks and writing.

But building something from scratch on something i'm not familiar with? Hell no you are better off coding it yourself. I have too much of an ego and controlling personality than to deploy some code i don't understand . it writes a bunch of extra logic and takes alot of detours and i don't always have the knowledge to truly review it.

In fact now im going back to the engineering / software development books to get a feel for making code good outside the context of an AI writing it

Im telling you pick up the books guys and get your coding reps in and always be doing leet code

From what I hear, much of the daily responsibilities in an IT job are applied knowledge from existing documentation? Like at helpdesk. Is that right?

Crazy deal on some books:

Depends on the company.

Helpdesk could mean anything nowadays.

Just try to learn the most you can.

Hows everything been going yall?
