I'm a little biased since I work on Palo Altos a ton these days, but I'm quite fond of them. They're definitely not perfect, but I find them easy to manage and they have a good suite of functionality you can enable. If you go full in on the layer 7/app-id stuff, be prepared to spend a fair bit of time working out your ruleset. It can get pretty granular, which is good for control, but time consuming to track it all down.

madmatt112 posted:You really gonna dangle that juicy piece in front of us with no redacted storytime? I'm offended. Sadly it would be hard to redact enough, and more importantly slash dangerously for my job, it involves lawyers. Lots of lawyers. (None of which are our client, and none of which I want to cross or get on their radar). So....yeah. Maybe if things "settle" down, I can go into some more detail. Thanks for the PA and Fortinet suggestions, I'd been kinda leaning PA and I'd also seen suggestions that Fortinet was an OK option. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't some new awesome thing out there that isn't well known but does a really good job for not huge money. I.e. like the Veeam of UTMs. I think I should just start using "the Veeam of" in general, that's a pretty good descriptor.

I have no idea where they think I'll be doing all the stuff I need to do. That and the lack of, shall we say, monitor privacy may become an issue. I am not looking forward to this.

The car in front was a Toyota I have recently started managing someone who believes they know the best way to do everything. It is apparent they do not. At the moment I am leaning towards letting him find his way rather than crush him immediately. The frustrating part is I will give some advice on 'Complete this task by looking at X and doing Y, see you in 15 mins when you're back' then I get 'Well I noticed A, so I did B and it actually took 45 mins, but it's done!!!!' I'm left wondering A? B? I said X and Y! but as I said, I'll leave him for now as the end result is the task was complete... should people start complaining that 45 mins per task mean he isn't getting to everything in a timely manner, my tact may change but for now I let him learn from his own methods/mistakes. Kinda hard not to molly coddle though heh.

I would have a conversation with him regarding your expectations and that, while you appreciate his initiative in fixing other things, he has to focus on getting assigned tasks completed as given. Like it's easier to have this conversation now than later.

Sefal posted:Yeah, I wouldn't mind traveling around the word especially if it's on the company's dime. A friend of mine in the drug trial business traveled all over the world, but her company made her pay upfront for airfare and lodging. So that one week where she traveled to both Argentina and Germany must have loving sucked. I mean, it's good for your points cards as long as the company promptly reimburses. But then a few months later they missed a payroll because 'someone made a mistake' and she took that as her cue to start looking for another job.

Anybody else affected by that Kronos outage yesterday? I wasn't actively working on the issue, but I got copied in on all the updates. Looks like there was some kind of storage array failure that required a 12 hour rollback.

Whelp, didn't get the cool sounding job with travel to Israel. I lacked experience in Linux, which they knew going into it, and it sounded like that was a big sticking point. I also admitted there were a few technologies I haven't used in a while, but could pick up pretty quickly again if needed, and apparently they didn't like that? I don't really understand that part. I'm like 0/3 on job interviews lately and it's starting to sting. Edit: ugh getting off the phone for that then immediately getting a ticket about some dumb laptop bullshit I don't want to do anymore. siggy2021 fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Jul 25, 2018 |

I just spent 6 months job hunting and struck out on way more than 3 interviews. These things take time - especially if you're trying to move up and over, which it sounds like you might be. Keep your spirits up, take care of yourself outside of work however you can, and find your resiliency within.

Yeah, don't let it get to you after the initial sting wears off. I got rejected 15 times before I got an offer over 6 months. After the first 5, they just rolled off my back.

Do people put roofs on their cubicles at your jobs too? I'm in a NOC so that's super open floorplan, but when I have to go upstairs to track down a bad AP it looks like a Calcutta ghetto. People have rigged sliding doors or solid roofs or those palm tree leaf things. It looks terrible and serves no purpose except to hid yourself or what you're doing from other people so I don't get why it's allowed. Also, it smells.

Also, it smells. the highest cube walls I have ever seen were about 5.5', so putting a roof on one would get old real fast, other than for the short people. I now have a mental image of an office full of midgets and dwarves, and it owns.

I'm pretty sure I saw one roof. I'm not sure if I can find that again in this sprawling complex of buildings. There are lots of palm fronds and a surprisingly large number of sliding doors. I'll wander upstairs after everyone clocks out to see if I can get photographic evidence.

YOLOsubmarine posted:Is this stuff on your resume? I honestly can't even remember what it was, I'm going to say probably not. It wasn't anything major or complex, it was just stuff I don't do every day and would probably just have to browse some documentation and be back up to speed real quick. After thinking about it earlier today I'm actually kind of irritated. The main reason they passed on me was due to my lack of Linux experience and they had interviewed a candidate over a week ago that was stronger in that. It was very clearly brought up several weeks ago that I have little Linux experience, and none in a production environment. If that was going to be a deal-breaker, why even bring me in?

How typical is it for a MSP to start you out on helpdesk for the first 2-3 months? I interviewed for a drat engineer position and now I'm being told after 2-3 months they're going to assess my skills for either escalation or project work. The pay is way above entry level so whatever but what the gently caress, this feels a little bait and switchy?
