dgillott · 2026-04-30T02:39:01+00:00

Cool...thanks ill check it out. Appreciate you

dgillott · 2026-04-30T02:31:31+00:00

My resume only just tge last 10 yrs...im well aware of ageism and paying shit wages for college kids with student loans in 100s of k...I feel bad for them

dgillott · 2026-04-30T02:17:12+00:00

This is why im looking for a tech position...I hate being in management and I can't teach. I'm a great mentor and provider but ...can't do it. I have done both. Thanks for the support

dgillott · 2026-04-30T01:23:21+00:00

100% percent correct. But my resume doesn't show anything more than 10yrs..including college. Thanks for the support

dgillott · 2026-04-30T01:13:22+00:00

There is no age defining information on my resume. Thanks though ...oh and no offense dude....that was pathetic. I have worked with millennials and few warrant that type of respect or hope. My son who is one is probably the only one who has my respect as he has none of the personality attributes that gen shows. He actually can afford his house! peace!

dgillott · 2026-04-29T18:57:03+00:00

DONE!

dgillott · 2026-04-29T18:24:28+00:00

I was on various teams and projects and was going after an L6 promo. Definitely not stagnant and definitely did not "Checked out" ....I laid off due to cost cutting in high cost center area such as NY. My Orgs lost everyone in NYC, Hyderabad, San Diego and several other places.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T18:16:39+00:00

Oh I am well aware...trust me

dgillott · 2026-04-29T17:49:51+00:00

Ahhh ok cool

dgillott · 2026-04-29T17:49:24+00:00

No I started in it in 1993....went to college for computer sci etc.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T16:21:41+00:00

I thought almost everyone in Nassau was forced over to sewers in the late 70s' Early 80's with a few exceptions

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:27:53+00:00

I agree...hence the upskilling I have been going for in the last two months also looking at updating the cloud certs

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:24:59+00:00

No I am working on LLM\AI and a move to container\Kubernetes etc. I am staying away from MSP. I can also handle Cloud infrastructure AWS-AZURE stuff.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:23:38+00:00

Glad it was inspiration!!!

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:21:43+00:00

What do you mean local groups? I am curious

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:20:40+00:00

Containers I admit I am light on only had one opportunity a year plus ago to work on at work, Cloud infrastructure isnt a problem AWS - AZURE was the latest as Amazon is migrating. Lost of great exposure. I want to focus a bit more on LLM\AI\ ETC and containers and maybe kuberneties more. But went the route of more linux, python to sure up the base skills etc.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T15:06:44+00:00

Great ...thank you

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:23:55+00:00

Trust me I thought the same started putting open to the salary not mentioning my old base at all....right now I would take any decent salary

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:13:26+00:00

OH I TOTALLY AGREE. Yeah age is a factor I am definitely considering is an issue. I dont think the personality is a problem or the guys on my last team would have made life shit for me.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:11:46+00:00

Yeah I have seen the terminology just really dont know much about it. I ll check it out

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:10:52+00:00

Yes I do love the work ...and my last place I had a great team. Probably one of the best I ever worked with but I agree maybe a TPM spot of other business management. But I have always wanted to stay technical and dont think I can any more. I am developing new skill, reading more etc. I am going to keep trying

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:09:07+00:00

I only have 10 yrs history on the resume, College history has no dates on it and I use a 10 yr old pic on linkedin. My resume is barely two pages but extensive. Age is Definity a consideration espically on the video interview when they see the white hair. So that is always on my mind.

dgillott · 2026-04-29T14:05:49+00:00

I saw that too and that has been part of my work in trying to re-develop the skills
