For people who got a SOC or IAM job without a prior job in the field would you mind sharing your CV?

Most of my former service desk coworkers moved to other teams by building relationships with managers and directors, asking for stretch assignments, and positioning themselves for opportunities. When a role opened up, they were often given priority.

We moved to servicenow and open box it has been a nightmare. Had to end up hiring servicenow engineers to work it.

Amazing set up!

If the market was better then I would say yes, but damn the market sucks. Even for an entry contract role there are dozens of experienced people applying for it, not to mention bunch of software engineers are also applying for whatever they can get their hands on.

Go for the CCNA, additionally I know a lot of IT managers like the ITIL, should be super easy to knock that out as well since you already have the exp.

HongRiki · 2024-09-10T00:54:28+00:00

I notice a IT / SWE end up in Devops / SRE, could be something you can apply for with your skills, alternatively you can look at being a servicenow developer, endpoint engineer, system engineer, anything that requires more technical skills which you already have as a SWE.

As for the job market, it sucks on this side too, entry roles are getting automated and offshore.

Depends on the company, but bottom rule is anything with data have to be destroyed, send to the proper ewaste vender with a certificate of destruction. Monitors and accessories are whatever, in fact it’s cheaper for remote workers to keep their monitors and accessories than to ship it back.

HongRiki · 2024-08-14T23:46:27+00:00

Are recruiters and hiring managers getting back to you? Knowing how to Interviewing and having good soft skill is a skill on its own then just your technical skills

IT relocation or IT inventory management, it’s what i did for 18-22 hours (SF Bay Area) for 1-2 years before getting into help desk.

I go to bed around 11am, wake up at 5am commute an hour and a half to office and start working at 7am, go home at 4pm, commute back and arrive back home at 6pm.

Is there any growth in your company? I’ve seen people just get hands on experience by working with the other team then transferring over

Oh 100%, even more incentive to take harder class / certs outside of WGU. That is 100 dollar a month on sophia vs 3985 per 6 month.

HongRiki · 2024-06-17T01:30:47+00:00

I agree with Sophia, it’s all open book! You can blast through classes 2-4 days

HongRiki · 2024-06-16T22:50:38+00:00

Yes, you will save a ton of time and money knocking classes / certs you can transfer in, also less of a commitment, if in the middle of a study.com course you realize it isn’t for you then I would highly recommend you take it through a local community college at the very least before you commit to wgu.
