By far the most fun I've had at my NOC jobs was any time I got to work with new or unfamiliar equipment and protocols and was given permission to just have at it. I love learning new stuff, especially when doing so let's me help co-workers/customers. Would you have any recommendations on what to fill my progression gaps with for a CSE or TAM role?

It's just SQL queries on S3. now if we're architecting this on AWS use Aurora serverless or dynamoDB, or heck, just set up multi-az for RDS. Use security groups and nACLs for your firewall and WAF rules for your application, and an ALB is automatically highly available by itself. That's the point of the graphic wrt AWS - every mainline AWS component you'd use in this architecture is tailor made to deliver high availability with a minimum of configuration necessary.

Possibly getting an interview for a PowerShell dev job. I guess if they are interested it’s time to start cramming Powershell instead of AWS so I can fake it til I make it. It would be $75K with what seems like good benefits. The commute would be long, but my new lease is up in 6 months so I could move closer, and the train goes within like half a mile of the office so I could be one of those train/bike commuting jerks.

So I'm anticipating I'll need to start learning Google cloud. Azure and AWS are talked about here but how does it compare? From what I can tell, all 3 are more or less the same and are pretty easy to grasp if you already have a good background in networking, basic security, and troubleshooting.

Google cloud is surprisingly itty-bitty compared to the other two, FWIW.

Is this for a specific job need or just because you want to learn "cloud"? I only ask because not a ton of places that I've seen use Google Cloud, and if I'm not mistaken their market share is pretty low, so as a marketable skill Azure and AWS would likely be a better bet. Though I suppose if you get really good at any one of them it's really just a matter of learning the differences in offerings and skills translate well.

How would you tell work/life balance in an interview? Work/life balance is the main complaint I’m seeing for this job I have a phone interview for tomorrow, and I have no interest in working a job that makes me do tons of overtime because I’m (actually legally qualified as) exempt.

"When was the last time you took an extended vacation" has usually been a good one for me. You can usually tell whether they're making up a good sounding answer on the fly or are answering honestly. I had a list of some others that are good for this type of concern too, I'll try to dig them up.

You ask about on call schedules. Have they had many after hours incidents? What are their expectations on after hours work? Just straight up ask what you want to know.

Piggybacking on that question, how do you navigate work/life balance when it's a company that is still in the stage where they're building out their SRE team/infrastructure and related processes? As in, I have a feeling asking about on call rotations/getting paged etc will get an answer where "it's still a work in progress" and the real question I am wondering is: how would I gauge if I'm walking into a dumpster fire?

Absolutely. I'm kind of ambivalent on this job at this point, which is why I'm not studying right now like I probably should be. I've only been at my current job a few months, I can't hop to another job and then immediately to another unless I have a reason like "they didn't pay me" or "The company is currently under indictment, I'm not at liberty to say any more." Who knows, maybe it won't be that kind of situation, which is the only reason I'm doing the interview.

Look for wedding rings. When I interviewed for IBM Global Services many many years ago I noticed that no one was married, which had me asking about travel and other details and it was 90% travel. I backed out of the process very quickly after that.

Docjowles posted:First answer gets you to senior TAM, second to Principal TAM? We as TAMs (and SAs as well) are not allowed to touch customer code. Ever. We aren't even allowed to write code that can be used for customers. We can write "demo code" for "examples that we can give customers for further review." This is part of the shared responsibility model that we use that protects both sides from liability (If my lovely code breaks your web site, that's bad. My lovely code is "demo code not suitable for prod environments.") Under those rules we give code snippets all the time. But the ProServe guys have beefy E&O protections and create turnkey solutions for customers all the time. In fact, I've had customers with whom I've never interacted: They had a ProServe engagement and I ended up only dealing with AWS guys who were working the engagement on behalf of the customer. ProServe guys live on-site with customers and build stuff per customer specifications. It's a pretty neat gig if you like to travel.
