I do struggle with what I want the next steps in my career to be. Thinking 1,3 and 5 years out. I really love doing technical sysadmin work but I also don't really want to be in my 40's or 50's and still carrying the metaphorical pager. Even with a fairly deep rotation and stable-ish environment, being on-call blows. I don't want to do it forever. But neither do I want to go into pure management and stop getting my hands dirty, at least in the near to middle term. I need to identify the mythical "sysadmin that isn't on call" role.

I've only ever worked at small companies (less than 200 employees) so it's been all x86 for me. The closest I've come to "big iron" was when I worked at an ISP and we outsourced our billing to CSG Systems. The back end obviously ran on a giant fuckoff ancient mainframe from the 60's and the admin interface was a lovely terminal emulator. I can't find a good screen shot of it online but it was the absolute worst interface to anything I've ever encountered.Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:But Vancouver looks like a freaking utopia compared to basically any place in the US.

It's bad to be a serial job hopper. Leaving one or two in under a year over the course of, say, a decade shouldn't be a red flag though. If it's super entry level and you've grown out of it, or it was just an awful fit, I don't think any reasonable company would hold that against you. It's when you've had 4 jobs in 3 years and there's no clear upward trajectory that managers get nervous.

If the nature of your job changes and it's no longer even remotely the right fit for you (CCNP level neteng -> doing Exchange upgrades, lol) then sure, no one will question why you bailed. Or if you've plateaued in your current org with no chance of advancing which it sounds like might have been the case for Tab. The challenge is conveying that in your resume and cover letter so you don't just look like a flake or a washout. Obviously it's not a hard and fast rule; if you're a truly outstanding candidate in other ways, the company will call you back no matter what. It's just one more way you can stack the deck in your favor during the job hunt. Also I'm only talking about FTE's. I've never contracted but I assume it's way, way more common to have a laundry list of 6-12 months stints in that world.

Oh god it's already suitchat time again? FWIW I've never worked anywhere with a dress code above t-shirt and jeans. Including two software startups. Wore a suit to every interview. I got a bit of "lol nice suit nerd" from interviewers in shorts and sandals but was told that at the end of the day it was a positive and they felt it showed I was serious about getting the job. I feel like being underdressed is always riskier than being overdressed, even at a startup, but that's just my personal opinion. The 1% of brogrammer idiots that will toss you out for wearing a suit to a job interview are probably not someone you wanted as a boss anyway.

My view boils down to the idea that wearing a suit will be at worst neutral and otherwise positive in 95% of companies. I admit to completely pulling that number out of my rear end, but would any of you seriously not hire an otherwise good candidate JUST because (s)he wore a suit? Assuming you own one to wear to weddings and whatnot anyway, it costs you literally nothing but a dry cleaning bill to bust it out for interviews. I totally concede that "button down and slacks" is probably fine. But why not do everything you can to tip the odds in your favor? If it's a company that will seriously disqualify you for wearing a suit, it will probably be readily apparent. See the last thread where we talked about the interview that began with the COO shooting you in the dick with a nerf dart or whatever.

GreenNight posted:Do any of you have tips for working at a startup? Gf got interviewed at a local tech startup (they make custom search algorithms and just got a contract with TI) to be their mobile app designer, and neither of us are sure what questions to ask. The last thing she wants is for the company to be purchase by Google or something and then she is out of a job. She's already interviewed with the CEO, the lead engineer and next week talks to their one HR person, who will detail their offer sheet. I'll preface this by saying I've worked at a couple startups, and I enjoy it. I don't mean to be bagging on them. That said, a couple things to keep in mind: Startups are inherently unstable. How is her financial situation? Can she afford to be abruptly laid off at any time? Because the startup completely folding is honestly a much, much likelier outcome than Google buying them for billions of dollars. Obviously you can be laid off from any job, but a sudden cashflow problem or change of direction that makes her irrelevant are much more common in a startup. Do not get suckered in by stock options in lieu of actual salary. Unless you're a founder or coming in as an executive you are probably being granted a trivial amount of stock. Then you're gambling on the extremely small chance that the company is bought or IPO's for a gigantic multiplier that makes your small amount of stock worth the years of lost salary. Sure, they might get "purchased by Google or something" but it's literally a million times more likely that the company either goes bankrupt or just continues chugging along, privately owned. Stock options are fine, but the offer should be "competitive salary, and also stock options". Not "half of a competitive salary, but wow, just look at all these <worthless> options!" For every Instragram or WhatsApp that wins the lottery, there's thousands that just fail and fade away. Most that do get bought are deals that won't make anyone but the primary investors a noticeable profit. Getting bought by Google probably shouldn't even enter into her decision making process; it's not the likely outcome. She should weigh the job on whether the work sounds exciting, she likes her coworkers, and the company seems at least a little financially stable. In other words, the same reason you'd take any job.

Drove (and actually still own, but it's relegated to running errands these days) a lovely late 90's Civic for many years. Daily driver is now a 2011 Hyundai Tucson SUV. It actually gets respectable mileage for an SUV, high 20's on the highway. Nice cargo capacity, AWD for lovely weather. The only thing I dislike is that it has blind spots the size of a tank. I can compensate for it by using the mirrors a lot more than I'm used to in other vehicles, but then my wife drives it and changes them and I'm all hosed up again for a while til I get them set back correctly  I moved a remarkable amount of servers and other misc crap between offices in that Civic, now that I think about it. Which was pretty retarded since there was a company van I could have used at any time. Once the Tucson is paid off, I'd love to replace the Civic with something sportier and from the current millenium. One day... luckily none of my employers have ever asked or cared what I drive. Apparently I'd never get a job since I don't drive a BMW

Swink posted:Guys who listen to podcasts as they drive- any recommendations? Sysadmin focus? I mostly work from home now thank God, but 1-2 days a week I have to drive to the office which is like 70 minutes each way in ideal conditions. So I have slowly been building up a list of sysadmin casts that aren't just the headlines from Ars Technica regurgitated. It grows and shrinks over time since most podcasts put out like 3 episodes and then fail. But these are the ones that are currently active to some extent. If anyone has more, post 'em! Pure Tech Sperg Shows Run As Radio - Entirely Microsoft focused so I end up deleting most episodes, but it's well produced and there's the odd topic that interests me so I still follow it. The Ship Show - Panel discussions about build/release engineering, config management, light software development, general career advice. DevOps Cafe - Really interesting interviews with people about, well, DevOps. Arrested DevOps - Same Ops All The Things - General sysadmin / operations topics. It's actually a good mix of Windows and *nix stuff. Packet Pushers - Serious network chat. I actually unsubscribed from this one because I don't do much networking and it can get really, really far over my head. They have a couple other casts called The Network Break (formerly Coffee Break) and Healthy Paranoia (about security) that update less often but are approachable to non-neteng types. The Class C Block - Similar to packet pushers. Very deep dives on networking that will probably bore you if you aren't in that world full-time. Non-tech Career Tools - General, non-IT specific career advice like how to interview, do resumes, ask for a raise, get promoted, etc. They also have some paid content but there's tons of free stuff. They do another podcast called Manager Tools, too. Welcome To Night Vale - Owns, and one of the creators is a goon who used to write for the SA front page. I've heard it described as "A Prairie Home Companion, if mighty Cthulu lurked beneath Lake Wobegon". Just... give it a try.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:I checked out a few of those but I think the reason I keep coming back to TWiT is for the production value. If I remember correctly, Packet Pushers was one dude with a thick accent breathing into the mix and not even trying to speak clearly. Yeah, I hear you on that. I'd say about half of those have production values between acceptable and good, and the others are kind of awful. The ones that put out more than a handful of episodes generally improve, though, as they figure out what the gently caress they're doing or hire someone who does to produce the show.

Misogynist posted:Our dev team just did theirs last night; didn't even ask me. Awesome feeling. Our devs just send out an email saying "yo we're gonna deploy in a bit unless anyone says OH GOD JESUS NO". Ops never does say no unless we are fighting a giant outage, and in that case it's already probably our fault for not telling them about it so they'd know making a change is a bad idea. I'm not sure we even have the authority to say no, it's more of a courtesy. At the end of the day both groups report to the CTO and he'd resolve any theoretical massive dispute. That's actually one of my favorite things about my workplace. The devs totally own deploys, and it's been that way for a while. We're not a DevOps "2000 deploys a day" utopia but we can deploy at any time, and routinely do so several times a week for both features and bug fixes. Devs also participate in on-call. Not as the first one to get paged but if it's determined that it's likely their stuff causing an outage, they get woken up too. The obvious caveat is that we're a startup web company where it's not the end of the world if a deploy sucks because we ship format_c.exe by accident, and we're not handling bank accounts or HIPAA protected data. Usually we notice the error and resolve it quickly with a second deploy. But I've also worked at web companies where we deployed twice a year and ALL of dev and ops had to be in the office for 16 hours on a Sunday to deal with the awful fallout. It was The Phoenix Project loving verbatim and the complete polar opposite of Agile/DevOps/CI/CD. I am so, so glad the world is moving on from that.

This. "Ops" exists in companies providing a service that is large or complex enough that it gets its own dedicated system and network admins who don't have time to manage AD, printers, Exchange etc. Those folks are often called "internal IT" or "corporate IT" or something along those lines.

hanyolo posted:I think certs / experience are worth more than degrees for technical stuff, as what you learn in a degree gets outdated pretty quickly by new tech, but you need to refresh your cert(s) every 2 years (although these days it's so easy to braindump it, so I place little value on certs now as well). This kind of got glossed over. If you're investing 4 years of time and money in a bachelor's to learn how to configure a Cisco switch or administrate Active Directory or any other concrete "this is you use this specific piece of tech" skill, you're doing it wrong. Likewise, you don't get a BS in CS to learn to program in Java. You get it to learn algorithms and data structures and logic and math so that you can program well in any language your job may demand. As 5 other people have said, it's about learning fundamental principles which will still apply 30 years from now. As well as all of the soft skills. If you want to learn those specific, concrete skills then save yourself 3.8 years and a heap of money and just buy a CCNA study guide. Certs aren't an alternative to a college degree, and vice versa. They're complimentary.

Misogynist posted:"Orchestration" is a term very loosely applied to Rundeck, since it's really not good at anything of the sort, but it's a great C&C console for repetitive tasks. We're using it all over the place and, yes, using the Chef plugin to provide node data into Rundeck directly from our Chef server. We're shifting more and more functionality into heavily customized middleware, though. Looking forward to trying out Consul and some other tools. We'll still likely use Rundeck to provide a nice quick interface to all the scripts that run our deploy processes. Yeah, orchestration was a poor choice of words. I'm eyeing it for two main use cases: giving developers self-service access to a few things they ask Ops for constantly, and getting some visibility and consistency around how and how often our NOC people perform certain tasks. Both of which it seems super well suited for. For example, I said the other day our devs do all their own deploys. But if poo poo seriously goes south and they need to restart Tomcat or whatever, Ops has to do that. Once in a blue moon, they have a bad deploy when literally all of Ops is offsite at a team lunch or something and then we all get paged with HOLY poo poo RESTART TOMCAT NOW. I'd love to give them a button they can click to do that themselves. So I guess my question is more organizational. Any resistance to allowing tasks like that to creep outside of Ops? And if so, how did you deal with it? Also, sounds like the Chef plugins are nicer (no surprise, really). The Salt plugin lets you send job steps out through Salt instead of SSH, but I still had to write my own script to dump out node data for targeting the job. If I didn't hate Java with the fire of a million suns I'd consider writing such a plugin.

NippleFloss posted:Well, part of the appeal of the new position is that I will be doing both pre and post sales, so I won't have to worry about the all too common problem of pre-sales making impossible promises and post-sales getting blamed for failing to deliver them. There's a certain logic to being forced to eat your own dog food. A lot of companies, tend to split the two roles because it's tough to find people who have the soft skills required to handle the sales side of pre-sales and also the solid technical skills to do post-sales. It's much easier to just hire two different people with two different skill sets. I'm sure it can vary, but does a pre-sales engineer typically work on a commission basis like "normal" sales? Or are you getting paid the same amount whether or not the deal gets closed?

Or they could be doing a dumb thing for a very valid reason, such as "legal reasons" which in medical IT you'll probably come across a lot. Heh. I've been at my current job for a year and change and I still run into this all the time. Find some really bizarre configuration that makes no sense. Email team, pray that there's either documentation or that the last person who understands it hasn't moved on. Maybe 1 in 10 times, the answer is simply "wow yeah that is dumb as hell, let's fix it". Much more commonly, there's a good but non-obvious reason. Or perhaps most often, "changing that will completely break W,X,Y and Z. We hate the way this is set up and you're welcome to fix it, but it will take you the next 6 months to untangle this incredible clusterfuck. Which is why no one has dared to do it. Go hog wild." So yeah, I definitely agree. When you come across something that seems odd or wrong, especially when you're new, ask why it is that way. Don't just "fix" it. There's usually a reason and it's not always sheer incompetence

Goondolences to my fellow Linux admins. Meet "shellshock", the next hilariously bad exploit. Time to patch errything. I've been seeing hits in our server logs from drive-by scanning attempts but thankfully we're not exposing vulnerable services on public addresses. At least as far as what's publicly known to be vulnerable  Still gonna patch.And if you're super on top of it and have already patched, note: the current patch is incomplete. Certain variants of the attack are still possible, so there will be another forthcoming.

For those keeping score on Shellshock, a second, better (?) patch was released tonight. You want to be at this patch level... until yet more exploits are found Red Hat / CentOS Debian / Ubuntu
