Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

e-friends I'm desperate in NYC. This has been the worse job search of my life. EVERYTHING is either 50K or 150K, entry or senior, but I'm looking for the middle. I had a crackping moment this morning from seeing a VMware Admin job posting for $22/hour. I've resigned to looking at help desk postings and there's still none that are a good fit.

Seconding what the fool said. 12 years experience is nothing to sneeze at and you’ve got a broad range of experience. Aim high. You’ll hear no a lot in this market but you only need one “yes”.

Hoping for some advice. I currently work as a "senior solutions expert", whatever that means, I work at an F500 and our titles randomly change every few years. I currently work as a VMware admin/arch in the industrial/OT space but with all of the Broadcom fuckery I think I need to shift.

Being in IT/OT I have been presented with the opportunity to head a project focusing around industrial sensors / IoT / Manufacturing 4.0 / Digital Twins / Smart Factories / Insert buzzword here.

I'm a generalist / sysadmin at heart but have been slowly getting acclimated to more application layer stuff, think SCADA systems, HMIs, bringing thin clients to factory floors, etc.

My new opportunity would essentially be to drag this old manufacturing company into the 21st century by working hand in hand with our MES team to deploy sensor technology and build out the infrastructure and pipelines to feed that data into... Something.

Myself, my team, and my company are still trying to figure it out but I'm trying to decide if it's a good area to specialize in or if I should pivot from VMware to some other hypervisor platform and keep doing what I do.

Are you going to be working with a manufacturing company internal to your F500 or is your company looking to put you out as consultants and implementers?

We are an F500 manufacturing company top to bottom. We are a competitor to DuPont, that's as much as I will say.

I thought short arms were good for benching :smith:
This is more of a discrete project request than a job, so hopefully that’s kosher. I own a law firm and we are looking to revamp our website, and I hate the SEO cookie cutter law firm websites. I would love a connection to a great dev/designer. Not interested in something cut-rate. Premium work deserves premium pricing.

If you or someone in your network would be interested, please PM me. Thanks!

Well at least you don't have the B2B aspect to worry about then, just your own internal institutional inertia and politics, and hopefully all of your sites are well funded to make use of everything. You kinda already called out the other aspect that could be something to worry about as the McKinsey buzzwords don't ever end. If you're interested in trying to stay on top of that rollercoaster then there's likely no shortage of work and tons of learning opportunities.

I was only ever on the... 'receiving' end of such work so I can only speak to how many projects like that I saw go through the (F500, now) mfg I was with.

Location: Washington DC (We have a three day a week in-office requirement, so unfortunately full remote is not an option)
Team: Service Desk
Position: IT Support Specialist

I'm hiring for a service desk position in our Washington DC office. It's a mix of T1 and T2 work, mostly via phone and email, covering the usual blend of Office app support, AD and Entra administration, and troubleshooting whatever weird situation our lawyers have managed to get themselves into. We have a really good team, and it's by far one of the better firms to work at. Pay is $64k-$84k, good benefits, yearly bonus.

If you're interested, send me a PM or email youatemycat at proton.me.

Stupidity, its both physically and mentally painful.
Really getting tired of Ubering drunkies and people saying “Ooooh I’ve never been in a Tesla before” to then proceed asking 20 of the same questions. :shepicide:

A day after my field engineer interview on Monday the listing was relisted. 🫠 Thankfully I wasn’t the only interviewee (there were 2 but 1 might’ve cancelled) but I did stumble on one question.. only to remember how to answer it after leaving. Won’t get a response for another week or so. But they’ve been very receptive.

If anyone has any base cloud engineer or tier 3/senior IT support engineer openings that they’d like to refer me to in SoCal then do shoot me a PM. I did pick up an AZ-104 cert recently on top of my 3 A+ certs. Trying to get more but it’s extremely difficult with my limited income.

I have a personal educational project I have been desperate to set up for a while now but it is slightly more advanced than a simple Wordpress webpage as it needs a way to show PACS DICOM medical images (and often these files are >500 mb)

I know my limitations, I am an expert on the medical side so even if this is an "ideal" student project I would rather it was done properly the first time, if you know what I mean

If interested or you want more inforation happy for a PM

My team is hiring a couple of folks in London. The roles are for a Site Reliability Engineer II and III in our London office, so if you have some experience with AWS, Kubernetes, and operating CI/CD pipelines, hit me up and I'll make sure the hiring manager gets your resume along with a nicely-worded note from myself.

I don't know what the in-office requirements are, but our parent company is remote-first, so I can't imagine you'll ever be in an office more than once a twice a week at most.

The listing says 'hybrid' but doesn't specify the in-office requirements. How confident are you that they'd consider a fully remote candidate?

A 100% confident, I am fully remote and my team does everything via zoom, slack, etc. We meet, maybe, once a year in the office, and that is more for team building than a mandate.

Knowing my company.... not very. We do have an opening for a principal engineer in Chicago if you're nearby, but that's for a much broader software architect role, not SRE.
