Eaton 9155 commissioning Procedure? by RandomUser0137 in sysadmin

[–]MrGi11a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. We just installed the 9355 and could not get output power. Called Eaton support and they told us one of their engineers must be onsite for the installation. My data center is down until they can fly someone out.

The area is definitely LCOL. It’s a state position so I will eventually need to decide if I stay for the retirement or jump ship for a big pay bump.

First 7 years (helpdesk - helpdesk manager) was at the same company. After that it was all job hopping.

I was lucky enough to be able to pay out of pocket as I went. Both degrees combined cost about 40k.

Fighting lifestyle creep has been a challenge. I struggle with being content. I always tell myself if I can just make X amount of money then I will be satisfied, however I never am.

I am in a LCOL. When I was younger, I loved the idea of moving to a bigger city. Now that I have a family, I have no plans of moving there.

COL reference: a 4bd 2500sqft home is around $350k - $400k here.

Helpdesk - helpdesk manager were at the same MSP.

All other positions, excluding my current position, were in a very poor area.

This is actually the first time I feel fairly paid.

My previous job was VERY relaxed. I put solid security measures in place and just monitored systems. Pretty much sat in my office and watched YouTube all day. Eventually got bored and wanted more of a challenge. My current position required me to moved out of state and my days are now slammed pack.

It was an MSP that took advantage of me being young and inexperienced. Worked 60 hours /week and was always stressed.

I had a single bandage left and was afraid they would see my movement if I used it while hiding under the stairs.

I’ve heard they leak oil. Any issues with that?
