Yup, no domain.

Interesting...

1. Is the "password" for a domain account?
2. When the "device" is wiped, is the is account that failed logins or the whole device? What data is wiped?

Hate to sound sleazy
But tease me
I don't want it if it's that easy
Just spent a few months casually job searching (making the move from education to hosted financial services next Monday :toot:) and my experience was that the jobs found me - especially on LinkedIn and Indeed, which were the sites I had the best experience on by far. Having a strong resume with explicit technical skills seemed best on Indeed, and connecting with local recruiters seemed like the best strategy on LinkedIn. I was getting pinged weekly over my Jira experience on the former.

e: If you're interested in education, secondary jobs go up on schoolspring.com and universities tend to have their own job boards

Personally, I wouldn't take less than 45k/y without benefits(PTO/Health/401k) but honestly I'd apply, do my best in the interview. If I do well, there offer comes back with $38k I'd tell them thanks but no thanks and I'd like <$blah>.

When you say without benefits, you mean no benefits offered? That seems pretty terrible, too.

I'll try those other sites, too.

Just throw out a number. Don't wait on him to push you more, just reply to that text as "My consultation rate is $200/hr. Do you want to continue?" . he'll either stop texting, or realize he's in trouble and will pay.

Dude quit responding this instant! Your last message to them should be telling them you dont work their anymore and then work out a pay rate that you're comfortable with to do side work if you want. Otherwise you owe them nothing.

Educate. Agitate. Liberate.
About 2 months ago, we started discussing downsizing my department (my first boss here thought we needed 3 people, as I started fixing things up it became obvious that's just too many). We decided to downsize by eliminating our sys admin spot, since I can handle that work and it was also the last position we hired for.

My second boss (first one retired) was let go the Thursday before we were going to cut the employee loose, so my new (and currently current) boss said "Let's wait until we can meet and I understand everything." Also because I was going to be out for a week at a business conference.

That meeting happened last Monday, with HR. The cut was going to be done the following Wednesday. That evening, the employee called me whining that I hadn't thanked her for doing her job, and when I said "Uh, what?" she said she was going to HR! Which she did, and claimed sexual discrimination. Then she took the rest of the week off while HR investigated (and confirmed that there was no discrimination).

Today, finally, she came in and we took care of the layoff. It's like a ton of brick off of my shoulders now. I'm assuming she smelled the firing coming, and that's why she started making a big stink, but it was annoying.

Anyway, time to move on!

Question for anyone with a bunch of Meraki experience.

I'm contemplating implementing MX100 appliances as edge devices at our three sites.

The only possible hangup, is our DMZ doesnt use NAT; just an ASA5510 performing firewall rules. Internal is, however, privately addressed. This was all configured prior to my tenure.

It looks like, the MX100 does support 1:1 NAT, and in the online demo, it doesnt fire back any errors if I set the external IP and the internal IP to be the same. However, I havent heard back from my Meraki sales guy on this one to confirm.


Basically, assuming everything on the ISP side is routed properly, can I setup an internal subnet that happens to be externally routable (208.x.x.x), and use 1:1: NAT with identicle WAN and LAN IP addresses?
I dont really want to re-subnet these DMZ hosts, as its a legacy application that's being phased out anyways.

Following up on this; I just got off a long call with one of their engineers. They said 1:1 NAT setup with the same IP on both sides will absolutely work. (effectively no-NATing the DMZ subnets). Downside is it requires individual host configuration / NAT mappings. Not a big deal to me.

Awesome.

Now it's just a matter of getting a demo unit to completely validate that configuration and should be golden. Should.

It took me maybe 8.5 months to find my first IT job. I don't mind recruiter emails. Calls might get annoying, I guess.

This position also seems to average over 60k. I don't want to get my hopes up too high, but that would be enough to take out a good chunk of my debt in a year while also building up a cushion that isn't a credit card.

This but just walk away. No good can come out of supporting a former employer even at an exorbitant rate because of the added stress, anxiety, and high likelihood that they will probably try to stiff you on your bill when the time comes. They hosed up and let you go, and you owe them absolutely nothing.

Part of a manager/director's job is business continuity, and if everything is making GBS threads the bed because one guy left, that is THEIR loving problem, NOT yours.

Some followup on my :yotj:

After I got the cold shoulder from my boss following my notice, and a general making GBS threads on from management from being butt hurt that nothing will get done in my absence, they had FIVE production outages the week after I left, and we didn't have that many in 6 months prior.

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but it won't hurt to assume you're right.

If you're right, I should be saving a lot of money, paying off debt and working on improving my skills so that I'm not one of the people who get cut.

It's trickier for people who are considering moving to take a job, but in general, assume that this wave won't last forever and live modestly.

I'm not sure where all of the VC money is supposed to go that will cause it to dry up. Tech is basically the only place that you can make big money with relatively little capital investment because software doesn't require warehousing or manufacturing or shipping or any serious infrastructure investment.

Sure, the whole economy might crash and take tech with it, but that's a different story. The current tech economy is pretty different than it was in the early aughts. It's silly to assume its trajectory will be exactly the same.

I think part of it is when a tech start-up that gets popular like twitter, instagram, they get these huge valuations without the revenue stream to back it up. As these starts up get bought and sold there's no return on investment is there?

Twitter wasn't acquired, they IPO'd and posted a ~$50m profit in their last quarterly earnings report, so I'm not really following here
