When we had the contractor in who got arrested at work, he would brag all the time how he was about to pass the CCIE and how much he knew and would talk down to people a bit too. Afterwards, when people were googling his name and stuff to find the news articles, we found posts he'd made on brain dump sites asking for people to send him CCNP dumps. Sure was fun having to re-do basically every bit of work he'd done unsupervised.

The Fool posted:While I’ve never personally experienced this, I’ve definitely seen sentiment online along the lines of “if they can’t take the time to do this, they don’t deserve the job “ There is at least some amount of “if they really want to work here” And smaller companies might not have the resources to dedicate to interviewing people at certain hours etc

In my early MSP days I worked with a couple kids who had the “once I get my ccie...” mindset Most of them got a few Microsoft cents and maybe a CCNA and then gave up their dreams

Sickening posted:This. It really irks me that people part of a hiring process will not hesitate to making lengthy time requirements for people they aren't paying. I am sure its mostly people just being oblivious and not malicious. Anyone remember the “job ads” on the AOL programming forums. Coders/artists for either a doom or c&c clone, one dude would handle “the biz and the ideas” and everyone gets paid a fair share “when we sell”

LochNessMonster posted:For me certs are a useful way of setting a goal to learn new technology. The cert isn’t the goal but it helps showing clients I have studied for something and have a certain amount of knowledge on said subjects. In interviews I can elaborate on the amount of knowledge/experience. I do try to get certs for technology I work with so it’s not like getting a CCNA while never having touched routers, switches, packet tracer or gns. I do this too but also if I'm going to learn Thing, I'd like to also have the paper that says I know about Thing. I've done 95% of the work, might as well have something that validates it, right? It also provides some structure as far as what I "should" know, which is nice to have. Obviously the utility depends on the quality of the exam and curriculum, but I more or less like the idea. The way testing orgs milk it for cash with renewals and even the exam structure is for the birds, though.

In my experience certs or formal education is just to get you past the initial recruiter/HR steps. For senior positions once you get to talk to someone who does real work it's all about showing your practical experience. If I was hiring for an entry level position I'd look for motivation and willingness to learn more than practical experience. Personal projects are of course a great merit in that regard. So you've never had an IT job, but you made and published a mod for your favorite game? Great!

klosterdev posted:When I had just been hired to my current org, there was a new Senior Analyst. My cube was next to his, and every time I asked a question that a senior guy should know, he looked confused and pawned it off to someone else. At the time I didn't know what I didn't know, so I figured he just hadn't learned how x works in our org yet since he was new too. Few weeks later the IT Director gathered us all together and told us he wasn't with the organization anymore. I later learned that his resume was PACKED with certificates, and during the interview every question he answered by pointing to a relevant cert to show that he knew it. Turns out he knew basically nothing at a practical level, I never learned if the guy was just really good at memorizing answers for tests or a straight-up fraud. My then-manager eventually told the guy that he has a month to show that he can do what his resume said he could do, and the guy decided to quit instead. What was the point of that interview?

We get involved in a lot of AV setup kinda stuff, we used to have a guy who claimed to be the expert on all things AV. An old boss of mine asked him a question about something and he said I'll make you a recommendation, let me go find out. That night, the apparently made a post on avforums, my boss, let's say called bob, replied using the his screenname along the lines of bob1234 and the guy came in the next day saying 'oh you need to do *what you told me on the forum*' without realising what had happened. I think he left of his own accord when he was overlooked for promotion. There was another boss around those times who used to tell me the story of his technical test in interviews being 'right, get that PC on the domain' and leaving the candidate with a box of cable and crimpers next to the PC.

Matt Zerella posted:This gets me every time To be fair, 90% of that is the ridiculous pricing on NAT gateways. Switch to NAT instances and you’ll be sailing. It’s also not remotely a complicated configuration? CDN for static assets, load balancer pointing to your backend instanced, with a DB tier. Admittedly I’m not sure why you’d need an EFS mount, but the rest is reasonable.

Speaking of AWS, does anyone know of any good free lab manuals or tutorials for practicing with it? I'm sure I could play around a bit and figure stuff out, but I find some structured tasks up-front help me learn stuff quicker.

Interview today had the guy saying SME as "Smee" and now I'm trying to find the clip from Hook where he goes "Smee, Smee, what about Smee? Oh, Smee's me!" I'll probably print it out and put it on my desk. I will never see SME the same way again

NAT is so your wordpress nodes can install packages and plugins and poo poo, you don't want to give that thing a public IP. I imagine the diagram predates egress-only IGWs.

On another does anyone here work with SCCM or Intune? The amount of imaging related positions available all the sudden is really surprising at the moment or a bunch of corporations suddenly realized understaffing it is a huge business liability.

Retention policy fucks up aren't really that hard to believe. My main gripe with them is that Microsoft does cleanup on a weekly schedule behind the scenes so you get lulled into a sense of security. Its also pretty common for your best infrastructure folks not to be managing these stupid policies in office 365. Your mid level janitors are the ones usually pushing the buttons. One of the easier thing to oops on.
