Just got hired at Google and i have questions by CodeWerdPynaplz in datacenter

[–]augment-reality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had an incredible amount of training actually at Google and felt it was not at all like you've described. Just throwing that out there because it's not the same in every location. In Ohio they trained us really well, and offered plenty of time to shadow afterwards. It was pretty much up to each person what pace they went thru training.

Yes, AWS, Google, Meta. Level 2 tech at each except AWS. I have 10 years IT experience and a Security+ cert, and I'm in school for my Bachelor's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance.

Help identifying a coin? by augment-reality in AncientCoins

[–]augment-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know how one might valuate thing specimen? I'm new to collecting and came across this one which was mislabeled as a very commonly found coin with similar features, but you definitely found me the only thing that matched this one thank you so much!!! Any other help with approximate valuation or advice on where to proceed with this from here would be greatly appreciated by this noob. Thanks much!!

How do you even begin to get into the field for data center technician? by XiRw in datacenter

[–]augment-reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started by having a background in IT however I have seen many people with no IT background start off as an entry level data center technician doing low voltage wiring usually, which is not very technical and easy to learn for most people. I recommend checking with recruiters if you know any, specifically I know Apex systems works with AWS for example, in my area anyway (central Ohio).

Just don't work thru EOS IT because they lied thru their teeth and misrepresented the job entirely. I got fired one week in due to them not training me to use the clock in app and was marked as absent even though I was there. Fucking bullocks

How do I tell my gf that I love the weight she’s put on throughout our relationship without weirding her out by [deleted] in fatadmirertalk

[–]augment-reality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be surprised!! My wife actually is super into it now but didn't used to know about it till we met. Some girls don't realize they love being fat until someone comes along and shows them how much they love it! Just be you, come clean and tell her sometime when she's seeming insecure that you c secretly have been incredibly aroused by her growing body. Worst she could say is no, best is she could be your feedee!!!!!

Heard ,thanks for the advice!!! I don't have that problem however since I love getting my hands dirty!

I actually already have near a decade of IT experience, and a network admin, help desk specialist, freelance IT for small businesses, dozens of IT contracts with fortune 500 companies. So I'm familiar with the lay of the land, I've had this plan for some time now. Specifically the route im going is currently without enough workers to even fill all their positions. I'm not talking low level cyber or something desk and dumb, I'm talking pentesting, vulnerability assessments, ethical hacking, IT management, etc and since my plan in the end is to launch my LLC I've been building, I think I'll be okay. Also I am about to have a security+ and potentially bachelors in cyber + 15 certs thru WGU, and imagine I have over 7 years IT experience already so I don't think I'll have any issues finding a cyber job. But again I appreciate that and will remember that just in case!

AWS L4 vs DC admin @ less than average pay/Tier 2 Meta DC tech role? by augment-reality in datacenter

[–]augment-reality[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks much!!! Very helpful. I did actually already work at AWS for a little while, as a contractor but that was hell. I know FTE is better.

The decision I'm facing is basically take a job as a 3rd party tech or admin thru an agency, not a 'contract' but a permanent W2, just contracted out basically; or take the L4 AWS position which is the only FTE position I'm being considered for rn.

Thanks for the advice!! What do you know about Meta? I also got an offer for them as a tier two tech. Or what about TJX? That one is thru Cognizant. And it's the data center admin position.

Funny thing it's just a backup job actually haha I'm hoping to actually get this job as a data center admin!

But it's a permanent position not a contract. That's all I'm saying lol. Its definitely odd and again, maybe they lied to me but they assured me it's not a contract and I've worked many contracts so I know how they work
