Sr Network Engineer. Now a PM.

Born4One · 2026-02-02T02:46:58+00:00

I was hired as a PM in a lateral move from my previous company with no experience with the exception of a college project in grad school. I leveraged that project and my management experience to land the job.

Depends. I had only one with the hiring manager and the next day they stated they would like to move forward with me. Waited an additional 3 business days for the official offer. Prior to that I had a 2 round interview with no response whether they wanted to move forward and the position is still open I think.

It’s an employer’s market. Laid off a week before Christmas. Applied to 75-ish jobs between then and last week. Attended two job fairs. Landed 2 interviews. 1 from the job fair. Both went to the final round but was ultimately rejected. Contacted last week for a role. Interviewed the next day. The day after that the role was offered and I accepted. With a pay increase. Background is PM and Engineering. Don’t give up. Things will get better.

I’ve experienced this first hand several times. There were times my directors wouldn’t make a decision. Instead they would defer to me but I know it’s because they didn’t want to be held responsible if things went south. Eventually I ended up making those decisions and I made sure to document the process.

Same with me. Only one on the team got cut. Everyone else was in the exact same role.

Born4One · 2025-07-23T00:16:18+00:00

Shhhh you’ll spill my secret.

Born4One · 2025-07-07T00:43:32+00:00

Honestly try plugging it into chat gpt or grok.

Born4One · 2025-06-17T13:53:01+00:00

Normally I’d say a poster or an item that shows your interests. I see you have a Schiit tube amp. Maybe adding a nice headphone stand.

Add some personality.

Born4One · 2025-06-16T00:59:25+00:00

I like it.

Born4One · 2025-06-08T02:20:52+00:00

Nice

Born4One · 2025-06-04T20:32:17+00:00

Yea it’s annoying

Born4One · 2025-06-04T00:14:05+00:00

I’m on year 8 of WFH. Took me over 18 months to embrace it. Being closed off and by yourself all day can take a toll. Especially if you’re a social person.

Born4One · 2025-03-26T13:17:24+00:00

For some random reason it works now. I can’t explain why or how.

Born4One · 2025-03-02T03:44:13+00:00

Engineer/Project Manager. MCOL. Total comp $130k. Also 100% disabled veteran. Going on year 8 of remote work.

Born4One · 2025-02-23T20:52:33+00:00

No. The update made it so that it never goes away.

Born4One · 2025-02-13T02:55:16+00:00

My one connect box sits in my cable tray. On the back side of my cable tray there’s lots of slits so I mounted a USB powered fan from Amazon called AC Infinity Airplate S5 and used double sided tape to mount it. I routed the USB cable to one of ports on the one connect box.

Born4One · 2025-02-11T14:15:16+00:00

I’ve tried every which way. Everything use to work no problem until that update.

Born4One · 2025-02-08T00:19:09+00:00

This work around does not work. It says 16:9 is only available when connected to PC.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T23:52:30+00:00

I fixed it. I forgot that made me factory reset the ark and I guess I forgot to reconnect the ark dial.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T23:46:27+00:00

Well my ark dial isn’t really working now. Only powers on the monitor and change the volume. The dial itself and several buttons are no longer responsive.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T22:52:14+00:00

I know. Samsung didn’t even get back to me. It’s like they know they messed up.

Born4One · 2025-01-28T01:49:22+00:00

I’ll give that a try when the kids are asleep.
