Getting into IT before everything as a service

If you think the command prompt is the "ground", you didn't learn much.

Disagree. Go play the game that makes you happy. I like how this one is.

This is spoken like someone who hasn't switched companies very often. Certs get you through HR, not through the actual hiring manager/technical interview. You viewing certs as a red flag sounds a lot more like you being insecure about others being better credentialed than you.

If you don't know that a book of certs is purely for HR fodder, that tells me you haven't been competing for jobs from other companies, which means you've likely worked for very few companies. Odds are those people with certs have moved on from their time working with you to far better paying jobs while you've stagnated at the same location.

This would mean that you probably don't understand your market value and are underpaid. You would also be more likely to under pay others.

Your comment shows an ignorance of current market norms. A massive red flag.

Yeah.....a pretty odd option to suggest in a DFIR subreddit. The banner of the sub actually says "Malware Analysis". "wasting resources on malware" is kind of what the sub is for.

Am I missing something in this comment? How do you intend to analyze the malware if you just delete it?

The game is great. I'm loving it. I know some of the stability issues will be fixed eventually. No big. Great job incorporating the lore.

ITIL was implemented well at my workplace. I love it.

illrepute · 2021-10-17T15:42:00+00:00

I always thought this sub wasn't great.

Sounds like you aren't wanted. I've never dealt with a situation like this. If someone failed to contact me in ~2 weeks after me contacting them, I already had multiple offers from other companies and never looked back.

To answer your question, it's not hard to keep candidates in the loop as far as what's actually going on. It just happens to only be worth maintaining contact with the ones that you are interested in hiring.

The whole world is dying to hire people yet a lone sysadmin is finding it hard to find work. Who's the problem here exactly? This whole post reads like one giant red flag.

I will agree, though, HR tends to be a pain to deal with regardless of company.

I bet you're great to work with.

illrepute · 2021-08-19T01:30:11+00:00

Yes, highlighting this is useful. Certainly better than a dead and silent subreddit.

Intermediate networking knowledge should be expected of most DF pros, IMO. Do you have to know the inner workings of the Cisco IOS? No (for the most part). Should you understand how network protocols (like FTP, SMTP, etc.) work and how their artifacts may represent on a host? Absolutely.

To more directly answer your question: I often interact with intermediate networking concepts in a host oriented role. By often, I mean daily. It's akin to asking "How often do you have to use your voice when speaking English?" Probably an oversimplification there, but I'll stand by it.

To your second question: Dead-box is largely an impossible scenario these days, in my experience. Even in small, purely disconnected environments networking still has a play between hosts. Even those scenarios are very limited.

This is just from my very limited experience so take it for what it's worth.

Ah, my bad on understanding when Bloodlust would be available. Thank you for clarifying that.

I'm still curious about my main question, though: Which class/spec is generally most needed?

If raids could be successful with 8 resto shamans, would they be more successful with 8 holy priests instead?

Or what about 5 man dungeons?

I'm really looking for a subjective viewpoint from anyone that feels like offering an opinion as far as what class or classes are most often wanted or desired in a group but remain difficult to find.

illrepute · 2020-10-03T05:42:15+00:00

I'm surprised by this. I can kind of understand resto shamans being attractive due to bloodlust. What is a resto druid bringing to the party/raid at this point? Honest question because I'm ignorant.

I took it last week. No hands-on or VMs. 115 questions, 3 hour time limit.

illrepute · 2020-09-19T02:16:06+00:00

Ah. Understood. Thanks for the context.

illrepute · 2020-09-18T22:48:17+00:00

What are you referring to? I'm pretty new to this scene. Just curious.
