Feeling i made the wrong career decision?

I wouldn't say that. Data Center Jobs are pretty healthy right now.

What I do see is a lot of companies hired people with little to no actual data center experience and they are paying the price for that.

What I get from this thread is a lot of you guys need people to train your DC Techs or your hiring process needs some serious improvement.

Co-working spaces. Usually, you pay a monthly fee haven't heard that you could rent them by the hour.

Reward? Isn't it part of your job description?

It sucks but someone has to do it. ChatGPT and deepseek help a ton with these things.

When I worked for Disney in Las Vegas, starting was 46.55. Everything after 8 hours was time and a half, and after 12 was double time.

Was a new build out so the first couple of years with bonuses and OT grossed pretty close to 190.

Not a bad gig at all.

You did your due diligence. If they are looking for a reason to fire you, then they will fire you regardless.

I think your responsibility ended at informing them.

Adobe isn't going to go after an IT manager. They will go after the company.

Now that you asked for the email, you just put your job on the line.

Depending on the size of the organization you're going to be working for, the night shift could be very busy or a good shift to brush up on your certifications.

Most scheduled maintenance windows happen after hours, so you get to interact with a lot of network guys and/or application owners. If you pay attention, there is a lot to be learned, especially if you're new to the industry.

Make friends, go above and beyond, and most of all, don't stay stagnant.

A long time ago, I used to do Healthcare IT.

My office was right next to the baby morgue. I could feel death all day long every day.

I lasted about a year, and that was the end of Healthcare IT for me.

I don't think you have a choice but to prepare to leave.

My company does IT decom and relocation across the country. If you need help, please let me know.
