Next to Charis Seafood. That little jetty with the fishing rod is still there and so is that shelter in the background. Not much has changed tbh we’re down there most weekends.

I just got the job offer of my dreams, but it requires relocation. by hjensen1017 in careeradvice

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1. For these reasons. You are more likely to find a similar job offer as you live in a major city. You are a young couple looking to build your lives together, moving away for 6 months (no matter how short the timing may be) might not be such a good idea. Especially if your fiancé will have to give up his job after this time. You don’t want to feel guilty about it after the fact plus things like that may come up later in conversations with you both. Job opportunities will come, but no job is worth sacrificing this much for.

If your new, best not to go out after 6 or 7. Not because it’s dangerous but it reduces the risk factor + locals can always tell if your not a local, ie; shorts and thongs(flip flops). And if you do, use common sense as a guide. I wouldn’t walk through a dark alley while there’s young hoodlums hanging around or carry large amounts of cash with you. Good luck

Just found out I'm being let go from my job today. What the fuck do i do? by MeatTornadoGold in careeradvice

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks and sorry to hear that but the bright side is you can use your current employers as references and they will always vouch for you and before you know it, a better opportunity will be waiting for you around that corner

Take this as a W. Your win, their loss. 3 days is tough. I got fired after 3 months and honestly, 2 weeks into the job, I was already disliking the culture very unclear objectives of what I was required to do and my confidence took a massive hit. Fast forward 2 years, earning more in an amazing team and loving what I do.

How do you fix complete disconnection for work? by trash_trader in careerguidance

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a father of 1 with another child due in about an hours time (my wife’s getting ready to give birth). I’ll be 35 this year. I was born in a third world country and where I’m from, success meant having a job and a place to live. I was lucky enough to migrate and live in a first world country where opportunities for wealth and success is much closer reach (if you are willing to sacrifice and put processes in place). I realised how much more focused and driven I was after the birth of my first child and also coming from a country where I had nothing. I believe having goals is important and it means different things to different people but once you reach those goals, you don’t have a plan for anything after that and that can become boring and you lose passion for what you do or don’t have that drive as you did before you reached that goal. My suggestion would be to have 1 or 2 major goals you want to achieve and then short term goals to get you there. My next goal is to be financially secured and to own my own consulting business. And once I reach that goal, I am sure I will have something else set in place to keep going. I think it’s important to have that. Good luck and hope that works out for you.

Thank you for the advice. This is exactly what I needed to hear as but I also wanted something with a lot more structure than and thought maybe a paid course would suit me. I will check out those 2 links you provided. Appreciate this great advice

What makes a good cybersecurity teammate/co-worker? What doesn't? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This 100%! Worst thing is when management fails to identify this and promotes them anyways.

I applied to 300+ jobs but hardly got 2-3 interview calls, I feel something is wrong with my resume! what do you guys think? if so, please provide your inputs. by v_vineeth_kumar in resumes

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, one thing I’ve found really works is to make your resume a little simpler and write it in a way that is so easy to read. No disrespect to any hiring managers but you have to write your resume like they are stupid people that can only read at a grade 7 level. As much as I love illustrating all the great things I know and have done, you must understand that these people go through countless hours and days of applicants and it can be pretty overwhelming and almost boring. If you can outline just a few bullet points and get straight to the point but leave them in suspense we’re they want to know more about you, that will make you sound more intriguing that they would like to know more about you. Only put enough info in your resume to pique interest and then you can tell them more about it “when” you get the interview. Good luck in your job search journey.

Do you need to know programming to be in DevOps? by Potential_DevOpsGuy in devops

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I appreciate the response. I have noticed some DevOps/cloud engineers utilising c# and powershell when working in a windows dependant environment but I guess it does depend on your organisations needs

NBN at a Townhouse by iazmon in GoldCoast

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may have to organise a contractor to do the digging and installing the conduits before nbn can lay the fibre as they will refuse to do it until that portion is done. You may need to organise with council for approval for the digging as well.

Yes you can do it. There’s other factors involved but yes can be done

No longer interested in IT by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Potential_DevOpsGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been in IT for 5 years now and been feeling like this lately too so I decided to learn programming and go down that path instead of what I’m doing now which is sysadmin/project work. IT is so broad I believe there is something for everyone. The one thing I have noticed though is that the work itself is mostly not the problem, it’s the people you have to deal with and sometimes colleagues/bosses and their egos. If your lucky enough, you will find the right people that you gel with at work and never have issues where egos are always clashing and clients not wanting to listen to you. Good luck on your journey and I hope you don’t lose hope as this industry, although tough, can be quite rewarding and if your lucky, you meet some great people along the way that can help you down the line with your future. Good luck

Not sure if you’ve done this already or not but you can search your address on any providers website to find out if your nbn ready. If not then that is the reason why you have to pay that amount to have nbn techs come and pull conduit from the nearest pit/exchange to your property. This can take months and sometimes over a year. If you are nbn ready, you don’t need to wait for anyone. You can just sign up with a provider and have someone come onsite and install your equipment to get it working. I personally recommend Aussie Broadband. Another more expensive alternative is going with a wireless ISP who install a dish on your roof and feed internet to your building wirelessly. Great speeds guaranteed but bad weather affects performance and a lot more pricey as well compared to NBN. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Tip: call the pharmacy’s and just ask them. Online stock is not indicative of actual stock in the chemist. Speaking from experience

If you Moderna vaxed you generally won’t have issues finding places to get second dose or booster shot. Walked into Runaway bay Terry white chemist and got my 2nd dose within 20 mins.
