LochNessMonster posted:Their partner does not work for the same company. We’re in a highly regulated industry, work with a large amount of sensitive and pii data and the role is marked as the highest level of insider our company has. yeah that was definitely not clear from the original post and absolutely changes things! fully agree with you now.

Defenestrategy posted:In our specific use case its easier and cheaper to give a handful of devs vdis in a locked down silod cloud environment to work on cui stuff rather than build our entire network such that everything can touch cui. This 100%. Its way easier for us to have hardened VDIs setup for PCI environments or for Fed/Stateramp. I don't see VDI environments going away any time soon.

Yeah we have CUI but we also need huge gently caress off GPU's for the devs applications so on prem VDI with massive Nutanix boxes running Citrix is how we've solved it.

I spent half a day tracking down a rogue cradle point that someone plugged into a PoE port on a core switch because the rack didn't have anymore outlets and the PoE port was tagged to the business network because "that's the vlan that has power".

I'm in a PI planning meeting and the otherwise very reasonable person running it has put on the "Agile Rhapsody" video. It's cringe AF, don't watch it.

GreenNight posted:Hit me up if you need a job, we're always looking for Arc experts! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. But for content, I used to have ARCGis on my linkedin resume, because I had training in it, and actually did a bunch of work for a civil engineering company before I found out civil engineering is the pits and I'd rather be in a warm office instead of doing field work if I was gonna be slightly miserable. I don't have it on there anymore because I kept getting recruiters wanting me to do ARCGis work in the rear end end of nowhere for mediocre pay.

Layoffs. Half our IT team is gone, including our best T2-3 helpdesk tech and the helpdesk manager. Lost an AWS admin, a Engineer Applications guy, and our frontline sec tech. I survived, only because of my (on-prem) location. Life takes a nosedive. Here's hoping the job market picks up. I get the feeling i'll be on it soon.

The report I saw was that IT broke even last year for number of jobs cuts and number of jobs added. Not sure how that compares to other industries. Also said there about 100k open positions and 100k job seekers, but those skills/positions/locations may not align.

Vendor: you need to stand up a SFTP server so we can pull <data1> from you. Also vendor: You will need up upload <data2> to our STFP server. Me: Encryption issues aside, any reason why we can’t just upload data1 and data2 to your SFTP server? Vendor: … We need to get back to you.

Guarantee that the vast majority of open positions are for on site work and also pay like crap. Plenty of companies realize that "We're hiring but don't have anyone yet" is enough to keep employees burning the candle at both ends for a while. A recruiter that I thought ghosted me over the holidays just got back to me yesterday and I have an interview scheduled, which has me the furthest into the hiring process that I've been since I got laid off on Halloween. Now I need to look back at the job description and everything so I can remember what it is even about.

Yeah, I put out some applications last fall. Anecdotal, but every remote job pays well and gets probably five figure applicants. The rest of the listings are for backfill positions in remote Utah or w/e and pay like crap and have mandatory on-prem besides. If you're a top 1% performer its a great time to go remote. Everybody else (me) better hope you know someone highly placed.

We had an opening for an entry level SOC job at my company that was 100% remote. We got over 5000 applicants for it. HR told us it was the most they'd ever seen for any position. My team was already 100% remote, but it did really help sell it to higher ups in the company. We got to be WAY more picky of our applicants with that large of a pool. Pay was only starting out at like $75k for this position too.

My conspiracy minded rear end is this is the final step in killing the WFH drive, get everyone starving and they'll come crawling back to the cubicle farms. Also getting rid of a bunch of workers saves money for new yacht purchases.

COVID-19 accelerated a ton of software development and IT Projects. The work has been done and the bean-counters have a way to make things more efficient. Or they think that. It's important to note, that we hit bottom last November. 2024 Outlook - Linkedin

Personal experience says T1/T2 support staff is being reduced or outright eliminated and replaced by automation with a light sprinkling of AI tools to "personalize" the experience. Or they're just making less staff do more. As is the usual since the 1960s.

Several days in at my new job at <Major bank>. I have not been able to do any training or work or even log in from home on my work from home days because I still don't have access to anything. I don't even have an assigned cubicle yet, and no one from my team even works in the same state as me. Basically just being paid to sit in random unused conference rooms and shitpost on my phone.

Yeah, sounds about right. poo poo moves slow at banks. Don't expect to do anything productive for at least 60 days. When you do get access I'm going to assume you have 2 or 3 days worth of compliance trainings to take before they even let you touch anything. Don't worry, it's normal. We don't expect anything out of anyone the first 90 days and figure it takes about a year to get fully up to speed.
