Any VMWare dudes here? Word is the company liked me and are going to make an offer, with the stipulation that I obtain my VCP cert. I don't suspect it will be a huge issue, but curious if any of you have taken it and can speak to how bad it is or isn't? Nothing yet from the hiring manager, but supposedly it's in the works.

They expect you to answer questions about virtual networking, storage, compute resources, update manager, and operations manager. None of the material is tough or tricky, there’s just a good bit to cover and if you’re not working in VCenter regularly it may be tough to make it stick. Pick up a study guide and build a lab in workstation or something and you should be fine. How long do you have to complete the cert?

My previous job must have been pretty paranoid about that kind of poo poo, they had a variable naming convention that was mandatory and your manager would go over every change you made before you could check it in just to make sure you didn't create an integer called ErrorCode instead of nErrorCode Also there were tons and tons of precompiled libraries with custom functions to use rather than built in ones just so they could maintain control over it, meaning I was constantly building massive libraries into programs that didn't need 99% of it Intruder fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Oct 16, 2017 |

I am in VCS everyday, have built out hosts from the ground up, configured the vswitches, managed storage, compute, VROM, VROPS, etc so I think I will be ok but I've heard some nightmares about questions out of left field. I am still waiting to see what the offer is, and what the stipulations are for me to obtain it, but it's also something I have wanted to get now for a while so this is going to force me into it which is fine.

Like any of these tests there will be some random rear end questions that you probably haven’t prepared for, but you don’t need to be perfect, so as long as you know the core material well you can afford to miss some of those.

Yea, I read that you only need 300 points out of 500 total to pass which doesn't seem bad at all.

Ironically including all those crazy custom libraries made their code more incomprehensible and thus harder to teach to new people!

axeil posted:If you want to program to be irreplaceable you will find a way. For the most part those libraries are just black boxes to the new people. You just go read the documents for what each function does, and there was actually a pretty well constructed way to find what you needed I got the gently caress out of there after a little more than a year. I only took the job because there was nothing else out there (this was in like 2009, bad time to not have a job) but the pay was awful, the benefits were awful, and the CEO was a douchebag. Their vacation policy was you get two weeks to start off with, and you don't accrue toward the current year, but toward the next year so my first six months there (I started in July) I got zero vacation and the next year I got a week. I was making a little over half of what I'm currrently making. They gave their programmers offices which was nice. They lost 50% of their development staff in six months and their only product is software so

I just got reassigned the same claim for the third time in three work days, meaning I got that claim again instead of a different one. So it cleared out my workload by two claims purely due to issues and glitches with the systems. Sometimes working for an incompetent corporate behemoth owns.

My younger cousin's first job coming out of college was 60k+ benefits with 15 days paid vacation AND the week between Christmas and New Years off as well. I guess that's what you can get when you complete a 5 year Masters in chemical engineering instead of coasting and never even completing a history degree.

lol the Gronk family was on shark tank yesterday Chris Gronk made a deal with Cuban and A-Rod instead of Lori who actually spends growing businesses for her entrepreneurs. But you know, sports. The product was a shaker bottle because of course. Also they made the Sharks play flip cup lol.

I don't understand the obsession with days off. Even when I'm not working at my day job, there's always something that needs done on my farm or rental properties or whatever flip I'm working on. If I want a vacation, I just take it, but honestly I'm thinking about the work that needs doing unless I'm in a fun social situation. I must be broken or something because I do not feel oppressed by work -- I like it.

The university offices that house the school's president (that signed off on Spencer's speech) were locked to students today. Bunch of students protested outside demanding to speak with the president but everyone was locked out.
