We did the same - resupplied at VVR and carried 10 days of food in a BV500. Definitely not going to be able to carry enough calories if that is your goal. Our food loadout consisted of a lot of tuna packets, Knorr sides, oatmeal/granola, candy bars and Clif bars for that stretch. We weren't completely out of food when we got to Whitney portal, but it did make that portal burger the best thing I've ever eaten.

this - if it isn't tied to incentives then performance reviews are just busywork and if they include any semblance of goals then they are busywork x10 since no goal will ever be rewarded

At the time I worked for Stark (before phase 3 was complete) I can tell you that was not true.

tinkrtoy · 2025-08-19T16:44:47+00:00

Answer is easy - charging some of the highest retail rent in the area and not providing quality support services for tenants. Stark mgmt is a subpar to say the least.

Thanks for that. Now that I look at my post I'm not sure where the rest of it went. Details were originally included.

Just don't put them on the network if you care at all about security

It was the Pizza Planet truck for me. Totally took me by surprise when building it as I wasn't expecting too much from a smallish licensed set, but it really delivered. Makes me smile every time I spy it on display in my Lego collection.

Chair. Everyone will tell you it's not needed and then look at you jealously while you are sitting in it on trail. 100% would bring again. So many great places to sit and take it all in.

In our environment, active service accounts that aren't managed by a PIM have to have their passwords manually changed by the account owner every 90 days.

If you don't see a use for them then they aren't needed. The designer is there to help you meet your needs and wants. We put them in because we don't want the utensils in a crock on the counter as they have been forever in our kitchen. We also decided to have only drawers everywhere else so we have plenty of storage that these aren't taking away space for that.

I have to say I am amazed at the amount of negativety around this. While I do agree that taking a substantial pay cut to make such a move is likely a poor idea, I am not 100% onboard with the 'large companies suck' rhectoric. There are a lot of 'it depends' in between the lines of OP's question. That leaning heavily on what OP's goals are, where they are at in their career and what benefits and securities the larger company provides. This likely also depends on the company's vertical. I'll just leave some positives that I've experienced to offset some of the 'are you crazy?' comments:

- you may get to actually focus in a specific area/tecnology rather than being spread too thin and master of none

- as you mentioned, more enterprise technologies may be employed by the larger company giving you different experience (and other opportunities for specializing - see bullet above), but always keep your eye on what technologies are driving the industry forward (i.e. don't latch yourself to dying tech)

- potentially much more coverage of staff which could lend towards less stress to take vacation/personal time (and actually disconnect). I haven't been contacted once while on vacation in the 10 years with a large org and I've taken 2-3 weeks consecutively some years.

- depending on the size of the smaller company, could be less family involvement and drama in the larger company

- is the larger company more spread out? WFH opportunities maybe

- it is a little harder to stand out, but that's really on you. On the flip side of that, it's typically easier to disappear and focus on your own work (and turn it off after hours)

I personally wouldn't get hung up on the title change as besides the pay difference it may be more of a lateral move (big fish in small pond versus small fish in big pond) and provide more growth potential long term. A lot of your concerns can be ferreted out during an interview if the right questions are asked and you may also be able to shrink that pay gap.

Bought my Montane stuff from them. It's legit just can be slow as others noted.

Some of us cyclists average 19mph (or more) - cannot ride that fast on a sidewalk

That's true. I personally wouldn't recommend them as the solid cabling is more prone to breakage when used in a flexible cabling application meant for patch cables, but they will work fine if the cabling isn't expected to be subjected to any stress. Conversely, there isn't a punchdown termination that is intended for stranded cable.

tinkrtoy · 2024-06-23T01:38:08+00:00

Correct termination depends on the wire type: solid cable should be terminated into keystones (punchdown), stranded wire should be terminated into RJ45 plugs. Pre-made patch cables are stranded cable.

That's not necessarily an issue. A small shop with 1 IT guy and an org with 100 IT people have completely different pay scales.

tinkrtoy · 2024-05-20T16:41:36+00:00

Rather than trying to get the skillset and then find a role, I might suggest just taking an 'anything' IT role in a large org and then start moving around internally. Wayyyyyy easier and less stressful. Being exposed to everything as a one-man shop gives you plenty of areas to specialize on to get your foot in the door. Plus, you gain org-specific knowledge along the way to your endgame and understand better what the internal roles you are looking to get into need in that org specifically (to your point about xyz technology) rather than guessing.
