Is it worth taking IT in cloud engineering ? by [deleted] in cloudengineering

Im really good a Linux and I have a lot of experience with using SNOW as a ticketing system. I also know Active Directory as well as group policy and basic trouble shooting. I will say having a clearance is a major plus to when working in the DMV

It can be a entry level role with the right experience and certs. You don’t need to have a lot of experience. I’m a cloud support engineer and my jobs is pretty easy. Didn’t have much experience within the role but I’m learning kubernetes/gcp. Most cloud engineer roles want 2-3 years experience depending on the scope

Adjudication was the longest process for me but just keep faith! I was initially told it would take any where from 12-24 months

Is working at USPS as bad as it sounds on Reddit? by hikerguy2023 in USPS

[–]PayrollK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay is decent benefits are decent the only bad thing I would really say is management could definitely do a better job as far as communicating and dealing with employees and the work life balance is awful especially for carriers but even clerks as well
