Thanks everyone. Couldn’t have done it with all the good advice in this and other threads over the years.Gabriel S. posted:Congrats! Sickening posted:I think you are a tad underpaid but dude, congrats. I agree, but it’s still a 30% increase from where I am now and am getting rid of this drat “Systems Administrator” title. Also, inspired by you, going to not quit my current job until the end of the year.

Once you get about 6 months under your belt, I want you to hype of your previous job duties on your resume and make it look like you have been a cloud guy for years. Be able to standup a CI/CD pipeline and use terraform at a reasonable level and you will be making 130-150k by the end of next year. Hopefully then with 3 jobs , totally working from home. When you retire early with a paid off house you can think about how sickening was a wise saint despite my long shitposting history.

Gabriel S. posted:Ah hah, I am a jack of all trades right now. I’ve done a couple projects with terraform, arm and ansible, and I do a bunch of other stuff with Azure. Definitely played that experience up for this job. Sickening posted:The more I try to work with them, the more I hate even attempting to use arm templates. In the interview, when talking about a terraform project I did they asked me why I picked terraform. I made a joke about arm templates making my eyes bleed that got a good round of chuckles.

Sickening posted:The more I try to work with them, the more I hate even attempting to use arm templates. I had this experience for about 5 minutes and wrote an ansible thing to let me keep them in yaml, and then they were totally fine. Azure in general is garbage, and to some degree ARM is a reflection of that garbage, but I prefer it to the alernatives.

Is DPM such a dogshit pile of assholery that MS doesn't even give you the option of Publishing DPM Backup Alerts & Events to Windows Event log via a script? Do I literally need to have someone go into the DPM Console and click the 'Publish Events' and 'Publish Alerts' button?

The Fool posted:Pretty sure it’s not the same place. Any remote job is a moonlighting gig to me at this point. The only thing that would make the above job not moonlighting is if the workload was just enormous, which to be honest, usually never is at this level. The last part of the job req gave me the impression that this was a consulting/msp business, but my recruiter assured me this was all in house. This job also has a date set to come back to the office in April of next year and guess who isn't moving to the midwest.

I go in to the office once or twice a week to focus and get stuff done. There are typically only a couple of other coworkers there, and we all follow social distancing rules and wear masks, etc. We actually signed a lease on another building across the parking lot in March. Once it was ready, they had IT come in at designated time slots to pack their desk, then another one to unpack it in the new building. Since everyone works from home and will for the foreseeable future, I figured it would be good to have something I could tell people to look for if they were in the office and wanted to come talk mask to mask. Now proudly hanging over my cubicle:
