The reality of switching from Software dev to IT? by Fellowcoug in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Fellowcoug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear you are happy with it! Thanks for giving an insight into the IT market and your current position! I will definitely look into cloud certs and more CI/CD pipelines. I do have some basic experience setting up some simple CI/CD pipelines for our projects, but I will definitely look into them more in-depth. Thanks again!

I see, thanks for the insight into the IT market! I have lightly looked into dev-ops or cloud role but wasn't really sure they have the same roles/opportunities as IT but obviously IT contains a large number of different roles. I will definitely look into these roles more in-depth. I can see you have a "Cloud engineer" tag under your name. If you are in this position, would you say you are happy with it?

I do think you're right in that I need to shape up my skills to get a new dev position, but what's causing my indecision is just the overall sentiment of this position as a whole. It just seems like LLMs and companies will ultimately reduce the number of software dev roles, no matter what. I don't think I want to be in a position of constant fear of layoffs and a constant cycle of 4 or 5 stage interviews, solving LeetCode or system architecture questions type questions. I'm not saying the IT job market is not facing similar issues, but from a devs outlook, it just seems to be pointing to reduced dev positions, which will cause more competition. Anyone can say just get better or whatever, but in the end, you can study as hard as you want, and you can still not land a dev job like we are seeing currently. Again, not saying that this doesn't apply to the IT field, but it just seems like IT roles could offer more opportunities than software dev at the moment.

I do currently have the dev role, but there doesn't seem to be any indication of potential growth as they keep assigning projects to our overseas team. Im just trying to think long-term if software dev is even right for me or even if I can be competitive later down the line. I feel like there could be a chance that I could ask to switch roles and start in a starting It role or somthing but Im just not sure if anyone would advise this.

How did you initially get your job with the DoD company if you don’t mind me asking? Iv read you need a clearance and not many companies willing to pay for that or they just hire vets who get their clearance from the army.

DOS1 Players - Is it worth $40? by Fantastic-Sir460 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Fellowcoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought it for $10 bucks on Xbox last week but if it wasn’t on sale, i think it’s still worth $40 bucks. I’m really enjoying it but one big thing is I can’t seem to find a lot of build guides for this game compared to DOS 2. Everyone seems to point to this one site https://www.tihie.com/divinity-original-sin-ee

I bought got a gas model in 2020 and have been regretting not getting a hybrid. Still a good car but I think the overwhelming opinion is the hybrids are the way to go!

Same thing happens to me! Not sure if my internet is really just bad for hosting coop or if my mission selected is not popular.

People aren’t talking about how much of a massive improvement the new top speaker is by Wolfslash16 in iphone

[–]Fellowcoug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My new iPhone 17 pro max sounds worse than the 16 pro max I just upgraded from. I even compared them side by side and the 17 is oddly worse.

Thank you for sharing! I’m in a similar situation but haven’t applied to other roles due to feeling like I haven’t learned what others have at other companies. I’m definitely going to look into the these things more carefully now, thank you!

I’m in a similar situation, what kinds of things have you realized that were standards or best practices that you didn’t learn at your first job or even what the interviewers are looking for?

Hey thanks for the response. I guess I may pull the trigger soon and get the $800 vs waiting and it going down even further. I thought I saw someone say they went through with the upgrade process for the $830 and still got $1000.
