luminalflux posted:Having experts on standby like Percona, PGExperts or 2nd Quadrant is a pro move if your SRE team is small and nobody's a database expert. We learned a LOT about MySQL internals from Percona, which brought my understanding from "lol MySQL, what a loving joke" to "Ok it's actually a real database that has some good stuff in there" Seconding this. Percona is awesome and since we signed up for support I have learned a ton.

I replaced "Administrator" with "Reliability Engineer" in my LinkedIn profile and the recruiters definitely noticed. I even started getting recruiter emails in my personal email, which is not tied to LinkedIn or any professional service. That felt really weird and stalker-ish.

pastor of muppets posted:I am actually a SQL Server DBA and was wondering that myself. If an ad-hoc database backup is causing this much chaos, I assume there's a lot of other basic maintenance like index defrags and integrity checks that just straight up haven't been getting done over the past decade or more. A few years ago when the forums went down I think it was mentioned that they were running on MySQL which will absolutely have problems if you run a backup on the active node.

Teabag Dome Scandal posted:Sorry for this wall of text. I'm having a really hard time figuring out what my next career step should be. I currently do mostly desktop support for general admin co-workers, hand holding support for our faculty, some AD stuff for user accounts, and occasional deleted file restore. It's just me and my boss and he doesn't let me do any sort of extra projects or anything because he wants me 100% available for faculty hand holding. I am not in a position to get extra experience elsewhere because of how things are organized here. I live in Seattle so I assume there are a lot of good options but I feel a bit paralyzed and get quite a bit of anxiety when considering a career path. I've off and on started several online courses, usually linux or cloud stuff, where I'll get a couple weeks in and start questioning if this is the correct choice and then abandon it. I'm worried that any courses I take won't be sufficient and that I need to get a lateral job elsewhere to be able to obtain the necessary experience to move my career forward. I also feel inexperienced in business because this is my first real job, I'm nearing middle age, and I'm VERY worried that if I go elsewhere I will be in over my head after listening to my girlfriend having zoom meetings in her marketing manager job. I'm also worried that due to my inexperience dealing with anything beyond what I currently do that if I start going down a path I'll find out I don't like it or the job market sucks for that particular jr thing. I know the answer is to stop being such a loving baby and stop imagining things that haven't happened yet from holding me back but my anxiety makes that feel impossible sometimes. Two things to do: 1) Pick a certification that is doable and schedule an exam for 2-3 months out. One of the Microsoft foundational certs would probably be a good start. Ask in the cert thread for more ideas. Take the exam even if you're sure you'll fail. 2) Start job hunting now and apply for a Tier 2/3 helpdesk or NOC position. Doesn't really matter if you hear back or not, just go through the process once. Give yourself until next week to do some research and then actually do both of these things. It will feel weird and might even make you queasy. That's normal. Keep in mind: Whatever job you land in will probably be pretty uncomfortable for the first 6-12 months. You may well be in over your head for a while. If you land in the right place, your new employer will expect this and they will give you time to adjust. Certifications are not in themselves valuable, but they demonstrate that you can self-teach and are self-motivated. These are very valuable attributes in a prospective employee. You can always switch paths if you don't like it or the job market dries up. IT requires people to constantly re-skill in order to grow, even at senior levels.

At 25 I was making $30k/year doing application support. I told my boss I was moving and he could let me work from home or I would quit, so he let me do it. This was 15 years ago and nobody at the time believed me when I said I worked from home. They thought I was some kind of wizard.

mightygerm posted:Is there a good crash course on Microsoft SQL Server? I mostly work in a Linux environment, so I’m familiar with SQL servers in general, and have set up MySQL/ Postgres etc. There’s a grandfathered Windows server that’s coming under my care with some customer data, and I want to make sure I know how to do the basics like logging, reports, backup/restore, check the schema/table setup and so on. Is there a good quick course/reference for this, or should I just kinda continue googling issues as they come up? SQL Server in a Month of Lunches is very good.
