Ever since I started where I'm at it has been nothing but talk of budget cuts, and finally we find out there's gonna be a bunch of layoffs, and since I'm the newest hire, it's probably gonna be at least me. It sucks because I loved working here and loved doing what I was doing, but that doesn't mean things were grossly mismanaged here. I wager there's gonna be a huge reorg too. At least I have ~7 months to figure things out. It's kinda hard because almost everywhere I've worked has closed up, leaving me with only having worked at places for a few years at a time, which gets brought up a lot during interviews. I don't know if I should continue with IT infrastructure, go into infosec, learn programming, or what else to do. I'm probably gonna have to relocate (or find a WFH position) if I want to find somewhere that's not gonna close up shop in a year. I guess this was just a general vent and general question ask im sorry everyone lol.

I had a giggle at his linked in after as his was probably less than mine. Last time I talked to a recruiter they brought up the fact that my last two jobs have been about a year, both of which were explainable, and said that it showed I didnt like to stay at one company for an extended amount of time, conveniently ignoring my first job where I was with one company for 13 years.

Internet Explorer posted:How about that global O365 outage? They literally shut the front door  Microsoft Outage impacting Azure, O365, Teams Issue has been mitigated. Summary of Impact: Between 00:57 and 03:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, customers and services utilizing Azure Front Door (AFD) services were impacted by an infrastructure service failure. This resulted in a loss of connectivity to multiple services reliant on AFD. Azure Front Door services provide Edge caching and network entry point services to the Microsoft global network. This issue impacted a large percentage of Microsoft Services, though not all services were impacted. Many impacted services were able to initiate fail over from the AFD platform, providing immediate mitigation to their customers. Preliminary Root Cause: During a recent periodic deployment, initial safety checks did not detect the issue and prevent the roll out. Monitoring detected once service failure was experienced and alerted engineers. Mitigation: Engineers immediately initiated deployment rollback procedures to correct the underlying Azure Front Door issue. This was completed at 02:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, at which point Impacted services began recovering. A detailed root cause analysis will be published in the Azure status history page within 72 hours.

jaegerx posted:I’m the guy that gets vested at a place and bolts now Every time I start a new job I think "this is the one I'll stay at for a while." Then those recruiters start knocking at the 1.5 / 2 year mark, and I'm passively interested, and then they start throwing out 140% salary numbers and it's hard to say no. I like what I do now but the organization is frustrating as hell. I'm at that 1.5 year mark and recruiters are starting to send their feelers...

It's the same for the US. What I wonder about are the people who stay in an IT job for more than 2 years and haven't slowly promoted up over the years to IT director or something. In my experience those people who stay at a job for years in the same position are happy to stay in a safe rut forever. Nothing wrong with that companies need people like that too.

Does that count for weirdos like me who are making 10k more at $currentcompany for equivalent entry level positions? I'm not gonna get a title promotion, dead man shoes aside, but I am compensated far more and the job is more fulfilling than my less than one year of experience peers who are doing their time in the help desk mines, and as long as they keep giving me more money Ill be glad to hang here til the gravey train stops or some one whisks me away to do red/blue team stuff for figgies

No not just two years that's insane. But if person has been with a company 10 years or something and is still in the position they started. Let's say for someone who for example has spent 5 years in help desk. They could have left it, or moved on to another role, or become a manager but they stay in that same position they started with the rest of their career. When I ask it seems to be they like what they are doing and don't want to go further. That's all.

Finding new jobs loving sucks and up until maybe 3 decades ago the idea of working at one place forever was not only normal, it was expected. "The only way up is out!" loving sucks and I wish we didn't treat it like a good thing.

I've been promoted once internally since I got this job 3 years ago, and I'd gladly stay in my current role for another 25 until I retire. I love this job, the environment, my level or responsibility and work/life balance. Dont poo poo on people just because they found a fulfilling job they like and want to keep.

Also, if you're employed publicly, you might be in the same role your entire career, that's not uncommon. I took a slight pay cut to get in a job that's a million times less stressful and I'm probably going to have this job for the next 5 years, at least until I get my degree and try to move internally.
