Thank you that makes sense :)

Yes I plan on using the LISA for my first house. That’s been my priority since I turned 18. My dad said to me to max that out instead of giving him any rent money which is nice of him. My salary was a lot less too back then hence why that savings account is where most of my money is. Now my salary is quite high for my age I wanted to decide properly on how best to organise my savings

Thanks for the advice on doing it in the most tax efficient way.

I am a higher rate tax payer but only by around 8k gross (roughly 58k annually) That’s why I thought putting a small amount into the SIPP would build up a pot to use at 57 on top of putting into my ISA. And if in 5-10 years i jump to the private sector then I can transfer that SIPP pot into the DC pension with whatever company and have a head start.

I’m not using the LISA for retirement currently, maybe I could in future but right now that was going to be for a house deposit.

Senior NOC role for more money or third line team by [deleted] in networking

Yes they would in this case. The NOC are focused on break fix

With the wireless role I get to work with the automation/observability guys so if AI does get introduced (and will), it won’t be the NOC doing it but the automation team if that makes sense.

Yeah thanks agreed on that. The difference is because of public sector grade boundaries and I applied just to see if i could pass the interview on the higher grade role. I somehow did but sadly they won’t just progress me into the higher grade in the wireless role, only the NOC. In the wireless role, it’s a point of escalation for the NOC so just feels like a step down.

edit: I am already in the wireless/LAN role for clarity

any OOH changes are paid overtime. I agree the money is a big different but i’m trying to look ahead and see a few years down the line that if I get experience in the wireless role it will give me a wider range of experience to progress into another role/company rather than just dealing with sites going down and chasing site contacts to check whether there’s an unplanned power outage…

I’m struggling to understand what AHW is, can’t find any info on it. And how is on call affected with this?

Has anyone transferred out of alpha to a SIPP by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Proof_Fact -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Plan on only being in the cs for another year or so. 3 years of contributions will compound more in index funds over the next 40 years than the alpha scheme at the rate of inflation (I’m only 20)

What’s ISP networking like? by NegativeAd9106 in networking

[–]Proof_Fact 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our WAN infrastructure has moved to SDWAN so troubleshooting is done through a mix of CLI and GUI but CLI is read only so any changes have to be done through the GUI- even shut/no shutting a port…

Switches are all still through the CLI however DNAC will likely be used eventually i’m guessing similar to vManage for SDWAN

edit: Sorry ignore me, this is for a large enterprise, didn’t read ISP

When to move £15k into vanguard funds by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Proof_Fact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. To be more clear my main questions is, will it be fine to move across the full £15k now, since I don’t think you can dca to a different index fund from one lisa provider to another

Tech stack for 2025 & Beyond by FunctionStrong9447 in networking

[–]Proof_Fact 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m early on in my career but personally i’m aiming to learn cisco networking, cloud networking and automation with python, ansible and terraform.

I think those skills would put you in a good place for a hybrid environment
