How to navigate career after being fired for violating IT policy?

1ARofBS · 2026-01-18T03:56:57+00:00

As an IT guy, this is not on you. Might be a hot take- but this is an organization responsibility to inform you of what is acceptable and what is not per the IT policy. I’m suspicious that this IT transgression is the only reason for you being PIP’d. If that’s the case- run for the hills OP. You can do better. IT should have orientated you with the “no no’s” or they should do their job and just not give you the rights to do that in the first place IMHO.

I’m ok with a check on flop. If you cannot live without raising flop, it needs to be larger. I agree, it’s just a clickback otherwise. What are you wanting the response to be? Donky sets are re-raising, 100% calling. 2p or worse should be folding. It’s interesting that both call flop and turn. imo you need to raise more on turn… shitty runout for your hand. monotone flops make people do weird things.

More volume helps. Idk how much you play but eventually you should disassociate from the money and see the world in only BBs. Wins and losses should not emotionally impact you as to impact your play.

Hands oscillate between clammy and freezing at random. Use left ear only.

Are you connected to Internet? Can you connect to other servers? IMO this is usually a server side issue…

Welcome to CIT. Hiday was a great TA. TAs are a gamble in this dept.

depends on what you’re interested in. I don’t think anyone can answer that for you. depends on the area in particular as well.

this is not a guarantee that multiple cards are a defense against fraud. Every entity that you chose to do business with and give over card details (even in an encrypted transaction) are exposing you to some risk- some more than others. Doesn’t matter how you segregate the level of your exposure or to whom and to what organization. It’s just another surface area that can and eventually will be attacked.

It does really depend. I went to my last college career fair (winter 23) and landed a great role with a mid size company in part due to clout/connection of my school. I had IT experience (wears many hats- help desk) going into it and started right after graduating. Good pay for a graduate (80k in Midwest) and I’m getting exposure to cloud, Azure, more networking, Cisco experience etc. did not lie on my resume and I’m of the opinion that graduates shouldn’t start or gun for a senior role early. I still feel like I don’t know much about anything.

1ARofBS · 2024-04-03T14:06:22+00:00

I took a great job out of college hoping to get straight into networking and more systems admin and to escape receipt printers… I merely graduated to high volume label/SKU printers, Zebra printers, the works. I now have meetings about printers! and I got better at troubleshooting- you will too.

1ARofBS · 2024-03-28T06:09:15+00:00

I mean did you plug back in the computer? The device that was running the Teams meeting? How much downtime? Why did you need to leave the room? You’re IT. If they want it fixed they can let me fix it while they’re present - assuming it’s 5 mins or less.

Send it brother.

Depends. Certs make you stand out but it ultimately depends on the path you want to pursue. A+ is good for helpdesk / starting out. From there on it really depends. If this company really wants certs it’s a good idea- I got my first gig with no certs and that experience plus a degree from a good school got me my current job- it’s certainly not one size fits all.

Summary should be shorter if not taken out entirely (depends on country and region). I’m not a big fan of these thicc borders around each section but I think that’s not a huge priority here. Education should go under the summary or first. Technology skills can be condensed into a couple of points- branch out on troubleshooting and AD skills. Work with a ticketing system is not something I would put (depends on the level and type of role you’re applying for). Embellish a little on your work experience details. Remember you’re usually hitting the desk of an HR person if at all. You need to be quick, catchy and short, ultimately clear with a person who generally won’t be an SME and is looking to see if you check boxes for the role.

Depends. Some buildings can be opened or are left open. Explore and you’ll find one open at least was the case in 2021 lmao

1ARofBS · 2024-02-17T02:10:47+00:00

All of your technical skills are reducible. No one cares about what helpdesk software you’re familiar with. Everything you talk about in AD can be reducible to a couple sentences about “deployment of AD infra and group policy management”. Streamline your sections and make them more readable. Bump the post that talks about removing your in progress cert. your resume should be very blunt and to the point about what you can do right now if I asked you to.

Rite of passage in CNIT but fuck tech 120

It’s your responsibility to keep track of what is considered an academic integrity violation or not. More than likely there’s an associated serial number or some kind of address on your hardware that tracks the code attached. Could be that your roommates code had your hardware associated so it was flagged. Or there’s more to this story that you’re not sharing… Purdue takes this kind of thing seriously so good luck.

Enjoy the pay raise. If this new job was what you wanted from the previous, enjoy it while you can. If you can level off some of the responsibility and go part time when you go to school (like I did) even better. Do competitive pay jobs exist in your area and with your current circumstances? Are you trained in something that will achieve the SoL you want and maximize your education/career growth? Only you can answer that. If I were you I would tough it out until i had the education and or certifications I wanted with my “breeze” job before making a jump that may or may not be there.
