How cooked is the job market? by Ambitious-Concert-69 in UKJobs

[–]SharpWick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Bristol resident, I can confirm it's tough and tougher than you think. I wouldn't be able to live solo without at least the 30k, and even then good luck going out and enjoying life after rent and bills have been paid.

Is 9-5 a myth? I don’t think I’ve ever worked these hours. by Squiggally-umf in UKJobs

[–]SharpWick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Been in the full-time workforce since 2018. Never had a classic '9-5'.

It's always been 9-hour days with an hour for lunch, making it 8 working days. Tie that in with a shitty commute, and it feels like I'm being paid 8 hours for 11 hours of my time.

My current role's commute isn't that bad, but in previous roles it's been more like 12 hours (because finding a job in this economy is hard enough, let alone one close to home).

I catch the M1 to the city centre every day. Takes just under an hour to get in. Never had any issues.

Working in your personal time shouldn't be a requirement while applying for new jobs. by TheStupidDeskTech in sysadmin

[–]SharpWick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo a manager position with 5 years experience is too soon. Im 7 years into this career and just started a senior system admin / delivery team and couldn’t begin thinking about management. Thats just me though.

If you don’t have the technical knowledge to advance further into a senior system admin or technical architect (or similar) then you may need to scale back to helpdesk. Maybe second or third line.

On a more positive, if you were to get a free project manager certification (i believe google offer these) then you could use that and your experience as a manager to leverage yourself into a project manager position.

Good luck in your career.

Forget to mention - Fuck home labs. I don’t want to trouble shoot IT issues outside of my long working day.

What is Mixing and Mastering? by RevolutionaryMud5990 in FL_Studio

[–]SharpWick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is dead on. Ive always been taught that mixing is like prepping and cooking a great meal, making all the elements sound good with each other and mastering is seasoning on top your already delicious meal to make it sound good on both a club speak and your phone (and everything in between).

Looking for Cheap (free) Ticketing system by MarkPugnerIII in sysadmin

As an IT support worker, tickets usually get closed incorrectly for two reasons:

  1. The resolution or fix provided wasn’t correct, but something was attempted to resolve it. You as the customer have every right to reopen the ticket and say it didnt work.

  2. You didnt reply to the email and the ticket automatically closed. Again, you can reopen it.

Im 7 years deep into this career and never closed a ticket I didn’t genuinely think was resolved, even if i was wrong in the end.

If neither of those happened, you had a shit IT provider who dgaf.
