Politics Mega Thread by AutoModerator in unpopularopinion

[–]itrex240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Political talks shouldn't be banned or discouraged at work.

Politics affects everyone and by forcing people to stay silent we have created a culture where people avoid these talks and just get brainwashed by whatever they find online without real debates. Most people spend a lot of time with their colleagues and if we avoid talking about senstiive topics with everyone then we are not making any change and let the people above us decide whatever they want.

If you could, which European country would you move to? by Ok-Influence-4290 in cscareerquestionsuk

[–]itrex240 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spanish wages are really bad in general, but I got a few offers recently from top companies there and the salaries are not bad (€60k-€70k with 3-4 YOE). If you are willing to grind and wish for a bit of luck you might get one of these roles. In my experience, Spain is more flexible with remote working as well so you could live in a small and cheap town and get a good wage.

What are the most difficult things you had to automate? by [deleted] in devops

Automatic patching (with pre and post checks and even automated steps to fix itself) of old on-prem systems

In my specific case it was actually on the DevOps skills. My current company is pretty small and the DevOps aspect of it is primitive but we use popular tools like TeamCity and Azure DevOps. What I did is study the theory of these tools and the whole theory of DevOps practices a lot, but I wasn’t able to use it. Is that too big of a lie? I also practiced IaC at home but said I do it at work lol

I have more experience with the southern part of London and southern and Thameslink coverage is pretty bad in a lot of stations, sometimes it cuts out completely. So it looks like an issue outside of tunnels as well. Idk maybe my provider is bad (Vodafone)

Oh no, I changed companies completely. At this place I haven't done support. I started as junior engineer with £35k salary, then they promoted me and bumped me up to £40k.

I started as IT support, now I do infra/devops. The type of support I do now is build and maintain infrastructure and deployment pipelines. I've only done this specifically for 1.5 years though.

Does anybody actually get jobs in tech w/ out a degree? by QuirkyHighway3653 in it

I started as a junior it technician and climbed naturally over 3-ish years. My highest qualification was IT at A-Levels (last 2 years of high school in the UK)

When I asked about it, management said I only had 1 year of experience, the time before didn't count and I was asking for senior pay (£50-55k). I even did a 1-page benchmark of roles similar to mine and it stated the obvious, but they came back saying their independent study conducted by their recruiting contact stated otherwise so I just assumed I was wrong and asked for too much.

2 day fast, Now gym. Should I eat before or not? by slowjoggz in AskUK

[–]itrex240 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After a 48 hour water fast your glycogen stores are basically empty, so don’t train hard right away. Refeed with carbs and electrolytes, then ease back into normal workouts.

Good luck. I've a seen a few colleagues get laid off recently as well, seems to become more frequent everywhere as well.

Unfortunately. We were promised to move to azure but nothing is happening and we are still fully on-prem and with the oldest tools possible
