$60k at entry level helpdesk in the Rockies. Good bennies. Lucky enough to work for a tech startup without having to work at the tech startup's HQ in SSF. Post wages, don't feel bad.

I've worked both corp and uni A/V. Though I've never recruited / hired folks for a position, I think the basics are pretty universal across all environments. The experience is the same as working tech at a music gig, just with folks for who have never held a mic before and make 10x what you do. A good A/V tech should: - Be cool under pressure - Be able to handle VIPs with fragile egos that tantrum easily - Be willing to take time to learn the gear - Be able to break the million different systems working together into simple concepts Talk about how you've got experience / the temperament for the above. A/V is a thankless job, so you'll quickly recognize the folks that know what's up.

Humanities master in IT reporting in. I got my job by being vaguely technically capable in a startup environment and when they laid off my entire department, they offered me the IT gig they couldn't fill.

Sickening posted:That is a bold move. Seems weird to trust them and taking the position. I guess sometimes you just gotta roll the dice. Double the wage, hourly overtime, and getting out of humanities-adjacent fields (media production) was totally worth it. I was pretty stressed and frustrated at the time, but it was an opportunity to get paid hella well to learn a whole new skillset. Glad I went with it.

Holy balls, we just announced mandatory WFH AND folks get to take their monitors home. We've asked them to submit tickets tracking this, and have already cracked 1/6 of our user base. It's like loving black friday in our office, people just grabbing anything with a screen.

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.

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.

I wasn't referring to any particular job posting, just the e-janco article. Six years as a front line helpdesk and watching layoffs roll through has got me pretty burnt out. I'd love to jump on some fad poo poo and ride it out for awhile. e: only thing I've pursued in terms of career development is PM stuff, I'm 99% of the way done with the Google PM cert and was going to do the PMP in Feb until our educational budget disappeared. tokenbrownguy fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jan 18, 2024 |
