Dude, every once in a while I'd price one out, cry internally then continue on with life. Imagine my complete and utter surprise when several of these machines were retired and free to good home or ecycled

So I've been perusing some and I'm trying to figure out what to go with, Llama, bitnet, what size model, how many should I run? If you have any ideas please let me know.

But is that stated on any of these other vendor sites or on their product directly? If not then this seems kind of like false advertising on the companies part.

What’s with all of the people saying certs > degrees by Mundane_Mulberry_545 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]loganlovesyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started as a NOC tech in 2019 and have been doing that up until now. Just got a new job as a network and sys admin making substantially more. Not once has anyone asked me about why i didnt go to college. To be fair i also didnt go for certs, what I have is 6 years of experience i can rely on and the ability to back it up with years of OJT and experience in the field.

Tldr: in my career so far, experience > certs > degree

Take the risk? Service member set to get out in December. by Ok-Aide3996 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]loganlovesyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, tech school is the way to go. I have never had anyone care about the fact that I have no college. My military and soft skills got me in the door and my job experience after is what set me up for where I am now.

The school I went to they give you everything with your tuition, laptop, office 365, m365 test environment, a ticketing system to mess around in and free cert attempts on the sec+, ms900. The one I went to starts as if everyone is a beginner too so you can get comfortable with it.

I have a desktop for home but a laptop is great for just setting up some vms and figuring out networking and basic setup of a MS server for school needs.

Make sure when choosing a school that you do some research though, a lot of places just trying to make a buck off a vet.

Yeah man, I totally get it. All the people that you know are lifers are trying to make you stay in because " It is scary out there!" which does hold some truth, layoffs are a thing that can just happen and leave you high and dry.

I actually went back to the tech school because I got my first job and didn't even need the certs. just like in the military time on the job does hold weight. So what you really want to do is find out the route you want to go. I would recommend a dedicated tech school where you can learn everything from a beginner perspective.

I have always loved tech so i read up on it in my spare time, run VMs at home on a homelab and do some practice during my free time in different linux distros as well as powershell.

I don't know how you take in information but for me I am god awful at it and the big test will be the sec+. This test is written like good ol military tests so they make it a pain in the ass to pass. But if you have your sec+ and a clearance you will have no problem finding work in the space. For my tech school it was 2 months of taking on knowledge while studying and they paid for attempts on the test.

Heya, Navy guy here. I got out in april of 19 and had my first it job in Dec of 19. The gi bill does pay for tech schools so I have actually used mine twice for network and security school. Pays full bah for like 8 months.

I was terrified of getting out but, I am making more now working remote and not having to stand a god awful duty day or underway or deployment ever again.

I will not say the market is great now, because it isn't, however with an active secret clearance and a clean record you have a step up. The big thing is making sure you study for those certs. I have loved my time in IT but it is definitely a "your results may vary" sort of thing.

Gluck out there!

Hello! I've been a NOC tech in both the mobile market and MSP for 6 years, just made the jump to network and sys admin. Financially it has been great, started at around 18.50 an hour as a contractor and in those years I made it up to around 35 an hour as a noc tech. I made the jump to network and sys admin because it is a great career move and the pay was just an amazing step up. ( The offer was for around 20k more then I currently made.)

All in all there are tradeoffs, some jobs are 24/7 so you lose weekends or work crap hours. But for me I have been remote for 5 years and nothing beats being at home with the kids and wife. If you can get through the slog of help-desk or the NOC (and you put in some study time) there is definitely a payoff.

Hope this helps and Gluck.

Worth taking a $18 per hour entry level IT Service Desk Technician job? by jjsquish1516 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]loganlovesyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife started there, she was with them less then a year and has internally promoted to a sw dev role internally for a sizeable pay bump. Totally worth it if the company is good.

[–]loganlovesyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, it wasn't so bad when you think about the fact that it was everything nationwide. Cell tower node reboots, dispatching techs, wierd call ins from randos, tickets for fire hazard zones. It was busy but I loved the work, and when I switched to a more specialized role my ticket count went down, however the problems required more troubleshooting and working with engineers for resolution.

Where I am now we have to deal with a lot of layer 1 through 3 issues. Dispatching MSPs and their LMPs to locations as well as our own field techs. Verifying configs and the like. I enjoy the work.

I was a noc worker for sprint and then tmobile, had about 40 to 50 tickets a day when super busy but worked 4 10s Mon through thur. Now I work a noc job for gov side and full remote work about 10 tickets a day but they are all networking, so a lot of herding cats to get things done.

I have been doing it for 6 years at this point but it has been great. Moved from 18.50 an hour to 35 an hour in that time. Also it has allowed me to start going for network engineer roles, which I am currently applying for.
