I would love a network engineer job, even got the CCNA, but I just job hopped three months ago and 14 months before that and I think it'll look bad if I jump again.

In my experience this isn't a big deal as long as you can explain somewhat valid reasons for the short tenures. I had a string of 6-12 month jobs and it was due to a handful of things like moving, changing career direction a bit, and not liking the mandatory in-office work culture of one job. It was brought up by interviewers a couple times but I explained it and don't feel like it kept me from getting any offers.

How much side eye should I be giving Indeed professional headhunters. I got cold contacted by a guy for a job for a client of his that sounds like it'd be exactly up my alley. Full time sysadmin position in a non-profit medical research space, local so I don't have to relocate. I'm just waiting for the other show to drop on the catch of the whole situation. I sent a couple of initial feeler questions to figure out if it's like a contract gig or direct hire. Anything else I should be asking prior to initial interview?

LinkedIn is great for recruiters. They're constantly doing keyword searches along with geography and time in X position to sell you to picky clients. The thing is they move fast and are a dime a dozen. A good recruiter will coach you and ramp you up a bit before an interview.

I've dealt with headhunters/recruiters my entire career. While they are a dime a dozen, and the quality varies, they are part of the job and are generally useful. A few of my favorite questions: Can you tell me how the position opened up? (e.g. did someone quit, is it new growth, a re-org, etc.) What are the must-haves and nice-to-haves? What's your impression of the team and hiring manager? Are you the sole recruiter working on the role? If so, have you gotten feedback regarding other candidates that might be good to know? What's their targeted base salary range? (refer to the salary negotiation thread well in advance so you're prepared to counter their questions)

I think I've reached the max challenge/growth level in my current role and I'm testing the waters. I'm not looking to leave quickly, but if a better opportunity emerges, I'd love to hear about it. My experience: 6 years in Azure cloud infrastructure engineering - various services including VMs, complex virtual networks and constituent serivces, Private Link/DNS, Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Batch, App Services, DBs, Azure AD/Entra applications and IAM. 2-3 years of Databricks administration and platform engineering/janitoring. Certs in Azure, AWS, and Terraform. 12 years as a sysadmin/engineer dealing with Windows, AD, SQL, VMware, Exchange/O365. 20 years total in IT. What I'm looking for: Azure engineering, infrastructure, architecture, etc. Optimally I'd like to lead and mentor a team as part of a hands-on role. What I'm NOT looking for: On-prem architecture/engineering. First-level troubleshooting. Scripting/coding/"no consoles, ever" situations - I can do some Powershell and I'm OK with Terraform but I am not a first-and-foremost coder/dev. Sales/schmoozing roles - I can work with people and I'm not afraid of clients, but I don't relish having my performance predicated on whether a sales person can close a deal. Where I live: Northern/central NJ When I can I start: Within 2-4 weeks of an accepted offer Requirements: FT, 401k, won't consider less than $190k base salary unless it's for a nonprofit or a REALLY interesting role. Solid work-life balance. Remote is best, hybrid is tolerable if it's the right commute, team, and role. I won't even consider anything related to the defense industry or law enforcement agencies, or anything that Elon/Thiel/Bezos/etc. owns.

My experience:About 15 years of experience with network engineering, design, management, deployment, security, wireless, troubleshooting, surveying, VoIP, Windows Server support and all that comes with it, pretty much everything with the exception of modern (last 5 years or so) cloud deployment and virtualization. What I'm looking for: a senior level network engineering position (my last two positions have been senior-level, but some companies do tiers differently), either client-facing or within a corporation. Ideally I'd like to lab out, configure, and install switches/routers/firewalls/APs etc., as well as troubleshoot difficult networking issues. I've got my CCNA and CCDA, as well as Palo Alto, HP, and Aruba professional-level certifications, but some may be expired. (I've been on disability/SSDI for a few years due to a mental health issue and I'm looking to get back in the job market) What I'm NOT looking for: help desk, programming/CS-oriented stuff, management positions, CJ, sales Where I live: Cleveland, OH Where I'm looking: Cleveland area, but anywhere if it's remote When I can start: It depends on location and timing. Requirements: Full-time, either salary@145k or guaranteed hourly@72 with 40 hours a week would be ideal. I'm negotiable, though. Benefits would be great. If on-call is needed/required, that will be extra. Can be reached via: Private message or this thread. I'm mainly posting here because the gap from disability is huge and most of my certs have expired but that doesn't mean I'm not relevant. I've got a professional-level knowledge set, I have experience with the majority of devices from most vendors, and I'm currently studying for my CCIE Infrastructure. If you have anything that sounds remotely up my alley, I'd love to hear it! Back of the Bus fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Mar 13, 2024 |

My experience: Been in IT since 2002, jumped from desktop to the Sysadmin side in 2011, a couple years dealing with Microsoft System Center products, then shifted to compute/storage/hosting. Lot of time with vSphere, with some NSX, VSAN, and Horizon mixed in. At my current job I have been de facto storage architect for a software development company spanning offices in multiple countries - whole lot of Netapp platforms, Quantum, a little Pure, a few other one-off things. What I'm looking for: Systems engineer or Architect, senior or technical team lead. Happy to keep doing storage/hosting stuff, or to shift focus to other systems. What I'm NOT looking for: Helpdesk, network engineering, or programming. Where I live: Maryland Where I'm looking: DC/Metro, Baltimore or Frederick MD, Northern VA When I can start: Potentially any time, with a two-to-four week lead. Requirements: Full-time, hybrid or full-remote (may be able to entertain more on-site time in the future, but that will be difficult for the next year or two). I cannot relocate. Opportunities to expand my skills or grow into a leadership/management role. Total compensation in the 160k neighborhood. Can be reached via: PM on here.

This has also been posted on LinkedIn/publicly as a job, but I can get your resume, etc directly to the CIO. As a forward, the company I work for is under this job posting company's umbrella - I don't have visibility into how they handle things on their level. Their company culture seems good, and my particular company culture is awesome and I've only had positive interactions with the parent company. They are doing interviews at the end of the week, maybe beyond. Number of candidates already from what I understand. I tried to get a pay range, but the response I got was it's DOE, skills, certs, etc. Where: Lehi, UT Schedule: Hybrid, 3 days on-site/week Pay: Unknown to me, see above What: IT Support/Manager - General M365 office support, supporting hardware stuff, laptops, mixed OS environ, etc. The posting has a lot of focus on cybersecurity of various types. They are looking for someone with a BS typical of the field, and experience focused on O365 and cybersecurity. Certs a plus. I'd treat those reqs as you would any job posting.

I found a job in the last couple months! !  . Turns out, they're looking for other people. I can effectively forward info right to the hiring folks to get this going. Where: Remote, usually everything is a citrix VDI on a company-provided laptop or a client-provided if they require. Schedule: Contract work, mostly work based on demand at your own schedule. Pay: Often very competitive and well above what an MSP would pay, but I don't have an exact rate for Datadog as that's not my specialty. . Keep in mind it's contracts so you're not going to get great benefits outside of "a 401k is available". What: Datadog work, probably ranging from health checks to architectural services. The observability team contracts specialists for different software and this is one they have a distinct gap in the skillset. PM for questions One thing to keep in mind is that even if you start today, you're probably not going to be able to do any work (and thus get paid) for at least a month. edit: talking to some people, tbd on if this fills from said talks or not. Sorry folks it sounds like they only wanted (1) person so far! So this is currently for the people I've been in PM's with - hopefully I can get a goon in the door. Hopefully more down the road. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Is this a "we know you're moonlighting for extra cash" thing or a "we how you're unemployed and desperate" thing? Because if it's the former, I do love extra cash (depending on exactly what the rate is).

Neither. It's a large corporation, one of those weird kinds that I swear is probably 80% contractors. I can toss name in PM's. They subcontractor out to clients for things like health checks. For example I got contracted 160 hours of work @ my rate between two clients.

Tried a foray into working for my city, went exactly how you lot told me it would go. So I'm swallowing my pride and I'm back on my grind: My experience: 3 years working for a small MSP with enterprise clients while simultaneously handling residential clients. What I'm looking for: Tier 2 or 3 technician work, MSP work, anyone urgently hiring and paying at least 40K a year. What I'm NOT looking for: A lead position; I don't think I have the confidence to jump into leading a project or team at this point, to be honest. Where I live: Bradenton, Florida When I can I start: Right motherfucking now. Requirements: Remote, Hybrid or local in my area is cool by me, I just need to get this ball rolling.

Got hired, reentered the MSP mines for now in order to avoid too big a gap in income. Had a skills test last week in a VM, then today interviewed, got an offer (not crazy money, just 45k, but most I've gotten paid) and started working. Company is apparently expanding from Michigan to Florida. All I know is, time to get back on the education train.

Also find any decent recruiter. They will at least bring you jobs somewhat relative to your background/experience, and most likely get interviews. Tossing applications to jobs posted on Indeed/LinkedIn/whatever almost seems pointless when they are getting 100+ applicants (I have to assume mostly non relevant/qualified) within a few days.

Time to start testing the waters: My experience: BS in software engineering and i am finishing up my last two classes in my master’s in data analytics program. I have extensive experience in business intelligence and software engineering-based data science. I currently work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (with an active TS), specializing in agile methodologies, project management, and data engineering on the national security side of things. I have deep understanding of data warehousing, BI solutions, and advanced data engineering practices, with over a decade of hands-on experience in SQL, Power BI, Tableau, python, C#, and React JS. What I’m looking for: I am seeking a role that leverages my data engineering and BI skills, ideally at the mid-senior individual contributor (IC) level. I aim to contribute to backend or data-focused projects that require deep analytical skills and innovative problem-solving. What I’m NOT looking for: Positions that require in-person attendance, or relocation, or roles focused on front-end development. Where I live: East Tennessee When I can start: 2-4 week notice. Requirements: The role must be fully remote, or hybrid in the Knoxville TN area, with opportunities for professional growth in data science and engineering. It should also align with my interest in business intelligence and data-driven decision-making. 120k +\- depending on benefits and travel requirements.
