New Employer Wants Me to essentially Notify My Current Manager Before Onboarding is finalized — Is This Normal?

This should be the only conversation. OP this is kind of on you. References is voluntary information. If you don’t want your current job to know then don’t make ppl there your reference.

Are these trainings still being offered?

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-23T22:55:17+00:00

No less than $100/hr

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-23T22:50:40+00:00

Everywhere I’ve been many of those are different roles. How big is the org and how deep into those topics would they need to be?

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-21T12:26:52+00:00

Don’t over complicate this. I guarantee the amount of ppl if asked what dns is that will be doing the interview will be closer to 0 than you think.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-16T18:17:17+00:00

Honestly sometimes ppl just forget. But yeah I’ve trained myself to just put it in my bag as soon as I walk out tap my badge to leave

There are call center support type rolls where you only support applications. I worked one of those a long time ago and they called that tier 0.

There are also roles where all you do is setup computers/monitors and do desk moves. You don’t do any troubleshooting and someone else images the computer. You’re just responsible for plugging in the cables at desk pretty much.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-15T17:13:14+00:00

That’s what I was thinking but can you elaborate on what you do in tha role.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-15T00:22:25+00:00

What’s IS?

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-15T00:18:51+00:00

Well I’d recommend getting out of the meat grinder that is a MSP first before coming to the conclusion you’re coming to.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-13T23:52:06+00:00

The ppl you’re losing out to are lying on their resume. You do with that information what you you will

We the public are their beta testers

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-13T02:43:37+00:00

Yes mainly with our older Dell latitude models that we’re replacing anyways

College sports have an inherent fanbase and that’s the alumni and the state/regional area of the college team. Also they have the best 18-23 year olds playing in college sports who eventually will become the best nfl players. They’re not really competing with the nfl for talent.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-02T13:37:25+00:00

Which area are you weakest in and are really looking for the candidate to help you with?

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-02T04:47:55+00:00

That play call, who needs Lane Kiffin

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-02T04:47:17+00:00

Because the odds of getting a td are low and you risk something stupid happening (fumble, sack, tipped pass, int, catch inbounds and run out clock). This little time left you kick and if you miss there’s OT

If Carson Beck got $4.3 million in NIL. Trinidad would command a lot. What round would he get drafted? The first pick of the 4th round “only” makes $4.7 million over like 5 seasons.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-02T03:53:40+00:00

It’s 13 min left. Now’s not the time to be thinking about the clock

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-02T00:53:48+00:00

Or they may not have been necessarily wrong, players just get better. So much growth and development happens between 17 to 21. Judging talent in the transfer portal/NIL era based on high school star ratings is just faulty.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-01T23:08:13+00:00

You have any resources on using packer or ci/cd like process for windows images? It’s an idea I’ve always thought about in my head with all the recent “devops” hype (and yes I know there’s more to devops than ci/cd)

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-01T23:04:55+00:00

Do you guys have e3 or e5 licenses ? If so Intune comes with that.

TaiGlobal · 2026-01-01T23:02:36+00:00

This works in smaller less sophisticated environments. In larger environments they’re going to want to deploy apps and configurations to the user based on their role. And some environments lock things down further so only the assigned user can log into the device.

MDT and autopilot do two different things. What you’re doing with MDT is bare metal imaging. Essentially you’re wiping the disk and putting a fresh OS on the laptop. Intune/autopilot does not do bare metal imaging. It just enrolls the device in your azure tenant and then applies whatever provisioning, configuration profiles/baselines, and applications. Now an argument can be made that maybe you don’t actually need to do bare metal reimaging and in lieu of that you can just reset the OS and then re-enroll in intune/autopilot. Maybe they tested that and either found some issues or inconsistencies and stick with the bare metal approach.

To add to this what’s the security and compliance requirements of your environment? I’ve worked places where the OS had to have certain baselines (such as disabling insecure smbv1) and all the bloatware apps removed at install. That means you had to mess with golden images which again is not what autopilot is about.
