My experience: In the realm of IT? School. I'm finishing up my A.S. in I.T. at a local community college in May. I've got a good grasp of networking, python, security concepts and Windows. Decent with Unix, Cisco, and SQL. I've set up a home lab to get a grasp of some basic AD stuff and I'm not afraid to self-teach. Other than that I've been in aviation for the past decade and a half. I've run myself ragged for the last two years working and going to school full time to break out of something I no longer enjoy and I'm looking to make a change. I also picked up my Sec+ last summer. I'm a self starter, extremely motivated, sociable, well organized, and can handle myself in almost any situation. What I'm looking for: Full time employment and a foot in the door. School is coming to and end and I've been putting my resume out there with zero luck. I'm confident that if I could get an interview I'd be able to land something, but I feel that my resume is holding me back due to lack of experience. I'm not married to any discipline in the IT realm, but I thoroughly enjoy command line and making things more efficient. What I'm NOT looking for: I'm not being too picky, but I've got a mortgage to pay so I'm really going out on a limb here and hoping for some good faith. Where I live: Western Mass. Where I'm looking: Western / Central Mass. Northern C.T. Willing to commute up to an hour for the right job. When I can start: Mid May Requirements: Health insurance, full time, enough pay to support myself and family. Can be reached via: PM

Job Seeker Experience: One year as a graduate data analyst with a multinational corporation, plus some Python contracting, and a short-term contract correcting a municipal council's database while suggesting future logic to prevent the need for future corrections. I have made extensive use of PowerShell and Python in my day-to-day, typically to perform analysis on and manipulate large data sets, automatically gather information from the corporate network, and produce reports. I have also made use of as simple statistical and other analytical methods, and Excel. I have communicated my findings to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise, and have a background in writing. I have easily adapted to new technologies and skills required by my jobs, and I am not afraid to pick up new tools. For my education, I have a one-year diploma that is the equivalent of a year in a computer science degree. I wish to complete my degree in the mid-future. What I'm looking for: Anything to keep my foot in the door and building towards a career, likely in an analytical role. I'm happy to move anywhere to make this happen. Where I live: New Zealand. Where I'm looking: I'm legally allowed to work in Australia and New Zealand, and I am willing to relocate wherever the work is. Remote work is also an option. When can I start: Immediately. Can be reached by: PM Additional notes: I have been regularly getting interviews, but I definitely need to explore all the options available. If there is anyone in SH/SC who can help make that happen, I would be incredibly grateful. You will find me to be a hard, smart worker who can bring impeccable references to the table on request.

Worth a shot I suppose to see if anyone around is interested. Looking for: Mid-level Systems Consultant We're a small MSP that deals in everything from SMB Break/Fix to Medium Enterprise multi-office environments for both IT and Telecom. Heavy emphasis on Medical IT. Located in Western NY (Buff | Roch) [Client base extends out of NY into surrounding states] Relocation: No assistance for relocation, but open to out-of-area applicants already looking to relocate themselves. Remote: In a sense. WFH is definitely something thats kosher on the reg for the right staff, but on-site work is also required for infrastructure installation or business consulting. Job Details | Reqs: We (I) am in dire need of a second mid-to-senior level staff member that can assist in large network overhauls and technical workflow consultation. You'd be managing most of your clients day-to-day on your own with assistance from our Sales team and yours truly. Some on-call required. 3-5+ Years of managing computing environments from 15 to 500 users. Experience in some or all of the following: VMware | Cisco ASA | HPE Aruba LAN and WLAN | EMC Storage | Barracuda network appliances Server 2016 | SQL Administration (Non-DBA) | RDweb. L2/L3 | WAN networking. SolarWinds nCentral for MSP experience would be a welcome addition. As would Dell | HPE Blade infrastructure. Looking for someone that can hit the ground running. There's a lot of senior work available and at the moment and we don't have time to train someone up from entry-level positions. Willing to work with anyone that has strong underlying infrastructure skills that needs training on particular product lines. Prior consulting or MSP experience would be a definite help. Ideal candidate should be comfortable walking into places they've never been before, doing network analysis, and crafting infrastructure proposals. Salary Range 55k-75k DoE (low CoL area, money is good for the location). 401k, Medical contribution, 2-3weeks PTO. Exceptionally casual environment with good ownership that cares about their employees. PM if you're interested or know anyone that could be.

JOB POSTING Full-Stack Software Engineer (.NET) QA Engineer (.NET) Who are we? Paylocity - We make payroll / HR / HCM software. Where are we? Development positions are 100% remote, but headquarters are in Chicago, IL. There are two other offices in Lake Mary, FL and Boise, ID When: Now Remote? Yes, 100% Remote Experience level: 3+ years minimum Job Description As a member of one of our product teams, you will be responsible for creating, enhancing, and supporting common features. Working side-by-side with Product Owners, Quality Assurance Engineers, and Business Stakeholders, our Software Engineers are actively involved in the complete software development life cycle in an agile environment including technical design, hands-on coding, unit testing, performance tuning, maintenance, test automation, and deploys upgrades. What you'll be doing Working to develop new features, fixing issues, the usual stuff. A lot of our products are fairly new, meaning there's not a huge amount of tech debt to deal with. There aren't really any junior developers so you'll be working with a ton of really talented, cool people on some pretty fun stuff. Culture is a HUGE part of the company and it shows. What it's like to work here Seriously it's the best job I've ever had and at this point, I'm hoping I retire here. Every single person on my team is extremely good at what they do. Our agile/katana methodology is very mature. PO's / PTL's know what they're doing and sprints flow really well. Really I could go on and on but it's a great work environment and most employees are very happy. We're Glassdoor's 29th best place to work this year and have been on the list in 2014, 2017, and 2017. Culture and cultural fit are really important. We do a few team events each year in Chicago, Orlando or somewhere else offsite. A few weeks ago we had our internal tech conference in Chicago and did a ton of cool stuff in the evenings. One team went indoor skydiving, others did Top Golf, Iron Chef, etc. Executives are very accessible, which is new to me. Your technical input is very important as well. We don't really have a "one architect per team" kind of thing, but rather all devs have input in technical direction and have freedom to introduce new ideas. All full-time positions offer health care, dental, vision, life, AD&D etc, 401k matching, employee stock purchase (15% discount), 2 weeks PTO to start. Company also offers paternity leave, if that's important. Salary for SE's averages at about $105-$110k. QA is around $80k. I pulled those numbers from Glassdoor so I'm not sure if they're still accurate or not. I'm really happy with my compensation though. What you need to be pretty good at
The bad Honestly I don't have any complaints. Working 100% remote can be a challenge for some, and it definitely shows if someone isn't pulling their weight / slacking off. That's about it. How to apply Preferably PM me and I'll get your resume fast tracked to the right people. Otherwise, you can view the job postings and apply for the SE or QA position online.

Soo yeah - at this point given that I've rejected about 6 goons who didn't have a bachelors uhh I guess that's a "me" question... In short - we are not an IT firm. We are a financial firm with a large IT focus. Degree requirements are tied to titles - our lowest hiring title and pay scale is tied to a Bachelors/Masters. (Although a Masters + 1/2 years will get you a higher title) It's not about "you" or your ability to do the job - it's about bringing in someone with no degree into a position and title that is also held by people who have graduated with a masters degree doesn't sit well with upper management and HR. Given that over a quarter of the team does in fact have a masters degree and everyone else has a bachelors it's pretty tough to make a case for looking past your lack of a degree. I have tried to seek exceptions or bringing people with associate degrees in as contractors rather than full time employees - nobody wants the hassle. Nobody cares to open a req for you as a contractor rather than a full time employee and go through that mess rather than look another month or two and hire someone with a degree. Fact is - I do not have a shortage of candidates with degrees. I have a shortage of good candidates with degrees, but when I have ~120 "qualified applicants" for a single listing it's not feasible to make a case of hiring an "unqualified" candidate. (And when I say qualified, I mean they have a resume that lists the required skills and a degree - not that they actually know the things they claim, most people who claim admin level Linux knowledge fall flat on their face when faced with technical questions.)

FileNotFound posted:I don't know where you get your funny numbers - Let's be honest. 80-110 is piss poor for anyone who has practical kubernetes experience, much less on the East Coast. Adding a requirement for a Master's just makes it worse. You could find 100% remote work with a company that doesn't care what timezone you're in or whether or not you have a college diploma if you're a reasonable Linux admin with kubernetes experience (and the requisite CI/CD, background in storage/network scaling, etc that goes with the former skills). I'm not judging asking for a degree. But "I have a degree so you should, too. We have 9999 candidates who bomb their interviews, but at least they have their degrees!" is dumb. I have a degree, so this isn't personal. If reducing the stress on the rest of the team from being down a person and increased productivity from another body even if they don't have a high school diploma but can "walk the walk" isn't worth them giving up their "must have degtee!" talk, you should find greener pastures. They're definitely out there.

If you're struggling to find capable candidates with your current hiring constraints and interview process, it seems worth considering that your constraints and/or process should change.

All of the above. Even in the midwest, that's a poo poo range for someone with practical experience with that kind of tech. Kubernetes (and honestly, most modern devops concepts and tecnologies like containers, config management, automation, etc) isn't taught in higher learning environments at all, and they're critical knowledge for doing modern software work. If given the choice between a person with a bachelor's or even a master's, and zero practical experience outside an internship, or a person that's done 3 years of hands-on software delivery, container management, automation, etc but just has a high school diploma, 9 times out of 10 I'm taking the person with experience, and if I were to put out offers to both, the experienced engineer would get the higher one, without question.

I used to come down on the "degree reqs are good" side of this argument, like a decade ago, and I think my overall logic is still very sound (college is/was supposed to be about way more than job skills training). However, I think the student loan debt system at this point is flagrantly predatory and I cannot in good conscience support it anymore. You're essentially requiring entry level employees be the modern equivalent of an indentured servant.
