Waiting for the details to be finalized, but should  just in time for the new year. Company's headquartered in SV, but I'll be working in my current region.20k base pay raise, 13% annual bonus, and another 29k/yr over four years in equity (paid up front, vesting over 4 years, with more RSUs given each year for performance) for a roughly 50% increase in total compensation. psydude fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Dec 21, 2016 |

drat, grats psydude. Didn't you just move into your current role within the last year or two? Anyway, good luck and a good reminder to never stop moving up. I'll probably need to start poking around within the next year or two. My job is great but there is no path for advancement unless my boss gets hit by a bus.

Yeah I took my previous position two years ago. I moved over to presales this month in the same company because there was really nowhere for me to go on the consulting side (my team lead was awesome and they worked hard to retain him, and he deserved it). Wasn't even really trying to leave either (I had turned down two offers because the work didn't seem any better or more interesting than what I was already doing), but I guess that put me in a better place to make the decision when these guys swooped in.

orange sky posted:Thanks for all the tips regarding DC decommissioning guys. I would always have the replacement server on the same subnet with a temporary address as the server I am replacing it with so it gets the old server its replacing IP address. Keeping the same IP address is useful for not only hardcoded applications and firewall rules(LDAP/S connections from the DMZ) but AD integrated DNS and WINS(if you have the misfortune of still supporting it). So decommission the old server first then put the new server in its place with the IP address of the old server. Also be sure to transfer off any FSMO roles before decommissioning. Before you put a 2012 R2 DC out there update your schema on a 2008 R2 server with the NIC disabled with the schema and infrastructure master roles. If the schema update fails you can just dump the 2008 R2 server and seize the 2 roles on one of the other 2008 R2 DC's. AD Replication Status Tool is your friend. owDAWG fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Dec 21, 2016 |

Just to make sure, signing an employment contract in an at-will state means you can still change your mind at any point regardless of the contract specifying that, right?

psydude posted:I use nano over VI because it makes linux nerds angry and always prompts them to say "BUT ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT IT'S JUST SO MUCH FASTER!" I am a "Senior Devops Engineer" and I use nano 99% of the time. If it's that many changes I drop back and deploy the changes to git and create a new branch and tag the instance to override with that branch until I merge it to master. Editing masterpieces on a box is a waste of time and leads to all the headaches that I try and prevent. However people who use nohup in lieu of something like tmux or screen are the scum of the earth. Also cron is not a management framework. Edit: I took two weeks to head off to Europe for some vacation, and I am watching the embers of a tire fire form because the devs are doing manual deploys. There is mention of an installation checklist and upgrade guide, and I need to jump in now to head this off. It's somewhat problematic to deal with as these guys all come from a government consulting background and really like to fight me when it comes to automation or packaging. It's also annoying to me that I've had to fall back into letting them struggle because they don't want to invest the time to do it right in the first place, and I can't get them to do anything until they learn on their own. freeasinbeer fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Dec 22, 2016 |

The problem with employment contracts, much like non-competes, is that the provisions may not be legally enforceable, but the mere threat of being taken to court by a company with far more resources than you can be enough to make them effectively binding.

insidius posted:I use VI because when I was a junior admin back in the day my senior admin/net engineer boss slapped me a lot and said I would never be Yeah I can use VI, but if it's one line that needs changing for debug I am gonna jump into nano most of the time. Anything beyond that I use atom and push to git where all my infra sits. I think making massive edits on a box is a huge red flag to me and that people arguing over console text editors are missing the point. You shouldn't need all those things unless you are truly using it as an IDE and if you are then why are you? It's something that I battle everyday as a legacy of bad choices made by devs. Maybe if I dived head first back into tilling desktops I'd reconsider, but for now nano suffices for most jobs.

Yeah when I was younger and more excited about my work I used to think sitting in a console for hours editing text was an amazing journey into fun land. If I even have to login now and touch a text editor I or someone in my team probably screwed up and is now doing bad things.

I got used to notepad from coding in college because wordpad did weird poo poo to my text. v-- eh I never looked into it because it didn't really matter, I don't really see the difference if you're making it notepad anyway (I guess maybe you still get spell check or something?), but since switching ot notepad++ I'll never look at another simple text editor.

They shouldn't be legally enforceable, but by signing them means a judge has to at least look at the agreement in court and have your new employer fire you due to the hassle of being drawn into a legal fight with your prior company. I have seen this happen first hand. In a protracted legal battle your prior company will lose but it might take several months. I have seen a noncompete list every major company in the US and the logic behind it made it look somewhat plausible.

I am currently at a startup in the healthcare space, staffed by former NSA contractors and it drains me dealing with it all. While it's not exactly classified work it feels like it each time I see some sort of authorization to connect paperwork, and getting my coworkers to unlearn the bad habits they picked up is maddening.
