The Fool posted:you might be surprised really surprised I'm an Engineering Manager One of the screening questions we ask is (via zoom, it gets sent in text too): "Is 146.289.22.155" a valid IP address? Why or why not? I'd say about 50% get the first half, and maybe 10% can get close to answering (and maybe all the way there with a little probing/small help), and less than 5% actually can answer with some actual depth. These are applicants for senior roles that specifically ask for cloud and networking experience. you just might be surprised. Walked fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 3, 2023 |

Walked posted:really surprised wtf? Hasn't everyone seen the episode of csi where addresses go to 355? This is like the basics of OSI! Around here I don't even get a glance for Network jobs or monitoring/observability jobs despite having deployed & configured sd wan devices and spun up entire bank branches for years, so maybe it's my resume. Guess I'll pitch in, as times change. Actual stuff: My experience: a decade with solarwinds and Cisco equipment, primarily. As mentioned above, things revolving around monitoring &, network engineer are both usually my scope. Didn't deal with ACI/spine & leaf much but spent a lot of time with 3650s and nexus gear, 2911's, 4431s and forescout nac appliances. What I'm looking for: I'm comfortable with anything from cybersecurity to junior SRE to monitoring/network engineer. I'm happy to reskill to fit, as I've been trying to move forward with python & rust but not there yet. Hours flexible, even 2nd shift. I did a lot of monitoring ties to NOC's & training em before. What I'm NOT looking for: something that is full time in the office. Hybrid is manageable. Where I live: Crystal Lake, IL (about 1.5hrs from downtown Chicago but that commute is fine for me) When I can start: 1 month from offer Requirements: Competitive salary, prefer remote but hybrid near Chicago or NW suburbs can be managed Can be reached: PM. Can provide resume / LinkedIn profile. Probably my resume sucks or LinkedIn or both. Disclaimer because I've been a stupid newbie before: I acknowledge I made stupid decisions in the past and was involved with Crypto and regret it. I want nothing to do with it at this point and I'm happily not dealing with it any further.

Walked posted:really surprised this would be a better question with 289 in the first or last octet. i kept looking at it like "im sure this is a stupid trick question" but kept glazing over 289 in the middle, it didnt register in my brain till the other poster said 355, and i dont even have interview nerves (though i suppose toddler fog).

Yeah I was really confused thinking there was a trick in that question other than “number too big” so I’m glad I’m not the only one.

It took me a second but I knew to check each octet individually because it seemed like the most obvious thing after I ruled out it being a broadcast address for a common subnet.

Being evil and picking 192.168.1.255 as your default gateway and hiding the subnet mask in a really small label on a network diagram

Thanks Ants posted:Being evil and picking 192.168.1.255 as your default gateway and hiding the subnet mask in a really small label on a network diagram I had a router that rejected any IP with .255 as the last octet even with a subnet of 255.255.0.0 or whatever. I think the field validation just looked for .255 in the last field and that was all it did.

I got laid off a couple weeks ago from the best job I ever had, except for the part where it was in the mortgage industry and they cut more folks from IT when the housing market went from bad to worse. My Experience: 16 years in IT with experience on basically every level; I’ve been on the help desk, I’ve done some networking, I’ve been a systems administrator, and I’ve been a manager of both a help desk team and an entire IT department. My hands-on experience is in Windows administration, SaaS/on-prem software administration, and VoIP (at this point I’ve worked with Switchvox, RingCentral, and Zoom Phone). I’ve found that I’m particularly good at taking ownership of software implementations (both SaaS and on-prem) as the primary admin and SME. I’m also great at writing documentation, knowledge base articles, or any email you might need to send out to the end user population-at-large. I’ve also written IT policy documents, including a whole-rear end Help Desk SLA that my manager took to his next gig when he left that company. What I’m Looking For: SaaS administration and/or sysadmin work would be best, but I'm open to just about anything that would leverage my skills. I work best in a team that gets along well and are supportive of one another. Above all else, I’m looking for something that’s fully (or at least mostly) remote with a good work/life balance. What I’m NOT Looking For: No help desk (I’m fine advising the techs if they need it, though), no being a one-man IT department, and preferably no on-call (or at least not constant on-call). Where I Live: Portland, OR When I Can Start: Immediately Requirements: Full/primarily remote, a competitive salary, and good benefits. Can be Reached: via PM Fortis fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Sep 5, 2023 |

I was recently laid off from my job of 11 years. I'm wanting to make a career change from customer service to IT. My state offers payment for certain IT related jobs. I'm currently looking at these 2 from SnapIT. https://snapit.solutions/course/cyber-security-and-networking/ https://snapit.solutions/course/it-support-specialist/ Are either of these actually worth the time and effort? If they aren't what should I be doing? What are some others I should be looking at?

I'm currently looking at these 2 from SnapIT. What do you want to do? The hardest part of IT is getting your foot in the door at your first IT job. I'm assuming the workforce services will help with that. I don't know your computer background, but I'd skip the it support specialist track if possible. It is good for someone with zero background in IT though, but it's more of an end user support role....but that might align with your CS background pretty well. I couldn't find details on the cyber security and networking in the 30 minutes video they posted. I might have missed it. I'd go Cyber Security or AWS.
