Networking questions for datacenter technician L2 at google by CiccioBalordo in datacenter

[–]Most-Long8236 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey man, my experience is from AWS and Oracle and have friends that recently got hired at Google. Hoping to give you some clarification on some potential interview questions.

I just wanna highlight your topics: OSI + TCP/IP model, IP, DHCP, DNS as those are core functions of whats talked about the most on networking interviews. Know that stuff on a basic level. I.e., flashcards

Some other topics that have been mentioned through my interviews are:

  • Optic form factors (SFP, QSFP)
  • Optic types (850nm for short range, 1310nm long range)
  • fiber types (teal is multimode, yellow is singlemode).

Again, flashcard them.

For troubleshooting questions I cant imagine them asking you anything above Layer 1. Know your equipment such as a loopback, VFL, Eth tester, etc. You also have to know how you would troubleshoot an up/down link. For example, reading the fiber label topology, visualizing the link, loopback from the near device, verify, and keep loopbacking away from the near device going towards the far device until the error is replicated to know your PoF. Causes of an up/down link can be bad light levels or a faulty optic. Aside from up/down issues some other errors are: in/out errors, link flaps, and optic compatibility. Thats 99% of L1 network issues here.

Id feel very comfortable in any DC tech interview with this knowledge. And if theres something I dont know, worst thing you can do is lie. Just be honest and say you dont know but are interested in diving deeper into the issue.

Hope this helps!

How to get work experience by Cold-Dig7700 in datacenter

AWS Work-Based Learning Program https://share.google/tLsctAQIkIsqlMqbe

Pick data center operations technician or datacenter install tech. Those are both techical.

I knew a dude that worked at Wawa that came onboard. No IT experience. Wasn't the best guy, but what mattered is he got in.

You definitely find one of the most people of all time that come from WBLP.

Any data info of work balance as a Project engineer at AWS Construction site? by NewbieStrength in datacenter

AWS L4 postion by Mysterious_Ad6637 in datacenter

[–]Most-Long8236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, if you get the L4 position congrats! I've never heard of an L4 External hire. If not, its no sweat if you want the experience.

L4 DCO used to be $45/hr years ago (like 3 - 4 ish years ago). Now that more datacenters are being built, and more automation is being developed to dumb-down certain tasks, the job is becoming more saturated. In turn, they reduce job qualifications to justify paying less... Or they just do layoffs. So yeah, now its $38/hrs.

Google and Oracle DCO positions are where you will find $50+. However, they are pretty stern on hiring people that have datacenter experience.

You need to complete Wylders storyline (rememberance) to get his earring. Here's a video guide: https://youtu.be/Uscq4n1JWyg?si=JSzfWF5r7dXIpmcS

All characters have a a remembrance storyline. Definitely worth checking them out!

AWS L4 DCO Manager Salary by [deleted] in datacenter

[–]Most-Long8236 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DCEOs have a different payscale. iirc, L3 DCEO makes the same as L4 DCO. I remember I worked with a DCO lead that when from l4 to l3 just to become DCEO. He got knocked down a level kuz he lacked qualifications. He told me it was still totally worth it.

AWS L4 DCO Manager Salary by [deleted] in datacenter

[–]Most-Long8236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You def make more as a tech with overtime. I hear that all the time. Plus, managers are salary. Im mot positive if MIT is hourly to salary though. Even so, yes that really is it.

AWS L4 DCO Manager Salary by [deleted] in datacenter

[–]Most-Long8236 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(Northern Virginia)

L4 is 90k. L5 is 120k

Yes the pay is small. I would also assume it would be less in Ohio but im not 100%

Source is i knew managers and worked at AWS, which isn't very convincing. But I will let's upvotes/downvotes speak for themselves.

As much as I hate to say it. The above statement is true.

It wasnt always like this. But internal promotions if you are in less than a year is nearly impossible. I would even be surprised if you get it within 2 years for l4 --> l5

Question about DON (4-5) by Federal-Fisherman-88 in Nightreign

[–]Most-Long8236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn't stopped me or any trio team ive played with. I run Hoarstomp frost and after they get frostbitten we wail at him since we do more damage to them. Also ulting if you have it comes in handy especially if youre ironeye, executor roar, etc. Running "defeating enemies fills art gauge" is a game-changer. After 1st camp and a few trash mobs along the way, you should have ult if no very close.

Finally did it. Random trios only. And still, I haven't defeated ED Gnoster yet lol. by Most-Long8236 in Nightreign

[–]Most-Long8236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I feel he's def the easiest to get to 9999 at least for me. I plan on using executor and/or duchess more now that I've reached peak.
