They didn't even know how to use powershell. They expected tasks to take all day, I would script them and have 6 hours to kill. I got 3/4 through my wgu degree in about 10 months. I highly recommend you take that time and study your rear end off so you can launch into a better role with a ton more money. Not many people are paid to study all day, live the dream.

HatfulOfHollow posted:I want to stay in a city. I'm currently in Baltimore, which is super cheap. The job is actually closer to DC but DC traffic blows and the city is expensive as gently caress. Basically I'd be trading commute time for higher cost of living. Or I could move to suburbia but.... no. What’s the job and what’s the pay band? Fwiw my salary is posted a few pages back and work/live in Baltimore. Just trying to get a handle on the local market a bit.

Zero VGS posted:Nah, just no, you can tell them "I need this much" and that's that, they can take it or leave it, especially in IT. Here in Massachusetts they actually made that current salary poo poo illegal to ask, because the courts ruled that it systemically maintains the pay gap for women. Sure, give them a hard number upfront but that also allows them to simply the conversation. If you’re in a good position professionally it’s fine as we all have our limits. If you get to the interview, do well that might just persuade management to push on HR for more compensation in the role because they found the “right” candidate.

It was embarrassing and I think they were happy when I moved on so they could slow the pace of work back down.

I know you all hate my cloudshilling, but if you have any interest in the beyondcorp stuff aka the movement to stop using vpns, pritunl has a new product out that does edge auth for you. The idea being if you are only giving access to web apps why use a vpn when a reverse proxy can do it natively in the browser. https://zero.pritunl.com Check out the demo it’s pretty cool.

If they ask, "do you utilize MFA?" don't say, "yes, but...". Just loving say yes if you do. edit: i work in banking and due to our org structure see about 4 IT audits per year. I have never lied or otherwise intentionally misled anyone, but i slap my forehead sometimes when I see how other people respond to audit questions. Just answer the one question they are asking and don't give them a reason to doubt your response or dig deeper than they otherwise would. I run a tight IT department but anyone could find areas of improvement with enough digging. I simply do my best to ensure they dig in the direction of improvements I already intended my make, while not engaging in deception. adorai fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Nov 15, 2017 |

It's a mixed bag, I've only been here for like three months and I'm tempted to look again next year. However this place has buttloads of money and a management shakeup which could open up training opportunities since our (new) boss wants to shape up the department.

Thanks Ants posted:Azure AD Application Proxy does a similar thing. Google Cloud IAP does it for things hosted on their platform. Yep. I heavily use Gcloud IAP in lieu of a vpn to provide access to Dev envs. It’s so much better then a VPN. Both Azure and Google IAP have limitations though like forcing you to use azure hosted or only working with resources deployed in gcloud. Pritunl and ScaleFT both allow more flexibility.

I use App proxy to provide access to on-prem stuff, runs happily on a Windows 10 NUC and gives me remote access to make changes to our phone system. VPN is more or less unused now unless I need to make switch changes when I'm not around, and I could hook them up to Aruba's cloud service if I really wanted to.

Have any idea how it would handle something like a web portal for VM management a la ovirt or kimchi? I know those use websockets for remote console access to guest VMs. Would that tunnel be inside the other one like a copy of a copy or is it light weight enough that it wouldn't matter? Or am I a stupid who's misunderstanding how websockets work?

Just had a third job interview with the place I posted about a month ago (had concerns of switching jobs after only being with a company for a short period, as I've only been with my current company for 2.5 months now). Feel like the interview went well, and if they meet my money requirements it'll be a decent bump in pay along with 100% remote. Hopefully I'll hear back from them this week. Trying not to get my hopes up, but I don't know how much more boredom I can take.

After almost three years of trying I have approval to get quotes for a proper security audit. It will be interesting to see just how bad things are, from inside and out.

Got a call for a first interview yesterday when I was asleep. Called back a couple hours later and left a voicemail. They didn't call back today, how long should I wait before calling again? Also, I assume it's OK to mention when I call again that my current shift has me on odd hours and I'd appreciate a call after 2 pm.

Google IAP should as well although if using with hosted kubernetes you’d need to manually edit timeouts(not that this is applicable here, just answering for completeness)

Powershell shouldn't have those same path limits (commands are get-acl and set-acl). There is also a GPO/registry setting in Windows 10.1709 to turn that limit off for Windows Explorer (and other applicaitons that use the standard file handling dialogs).

TheFace posted:the 255 character limit makes me want to bash my head against the wall... COME ON MICROSOFT, WHAT YEAR IS THIS?! The actual problem is 25 years worth of third-party Win32 programs, compiled against a Windows.h that defined MAX_PATH to 260, and an unknown quantity of those might break in interesting ways (such as buffer overflows leading to vulnerabilities) if you just start throwing longer strings at them.
