I got a help desk job years ago from RH, and they were just awful to work with, never again. The company I was working with ended up ditching them as a recruiter after my 6 month contract to hire term was over with because they were so lovely to work with.Thanks Ants posted:Congrats. Not appearing desperate for the job is probably a positive. Going into interviews when you dont need the job with a take it or leave it attitude is absolutely beneficial. The best interviews end up being back and forth conversations and going in with a relaxed attitude definitely helps that.

The random dumb recruiter crap just comes with the territory. If its the majority of job offers youre getting though, than your profile probably needs work.

It's been years since I've had to work on this, so take this with a grain of salt. The biggest pain you'll face is all of the various forms of supplicant applications you'll need for devices. You'll get 90% of the way there easily for Windows hosts for example but that last 10% will have some sort of pain in the rear end error that slows you down and causes Helpdesk to hate you. God forbid management wants it everywhere and you have to start figuring out how to get big office printers to work with it.

Wasnt that one of the original push backs to VOIP? That regular copper lines still had enough juice in them to work during power outages and stuff? Old telephony is just so interesting to read about, but Im glad I dont have to work with it. Though I am old enough to have used a butt set and done some work with the old POTS stuff.

I've got a rescued HP Laserjet 1320n that was going to get tossed out of an office years ago. Its at 130,000+ pages and shows no signs of slowing down. They can build good printers that last, they just cant make as much money doing it that way and have instead decided to pivot to "Printing as a Service" with your own hardware that you already purchased.

VooDoo donuts peaked in 2002 and its been all down hill since. The real donut junkies go to Blue Star. (Note its been years since Ive been to Portland but I have fond memories of biking around there in my misspent youth).

Dog Faced JoJo posted:drat did it take me forever to put together that Frosty Witch was involved in the Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo and everyting else involved in that whole storyline. Congrats to her.  I never put the two together either! Have a fun one today. Trying to get a product team to not use the same user/pass for a support account for all of our customers. It looks like, though of course my cheap company doesnt have the logs to prove this, that a rep entered in creds to a phishing site. So now I'm trying to explain to them that they need to not reuse the same creds and rotate ALL of them.

Im glad I did a short stint in MSP hell because I got to touch a lot of poo poo I wasnt anywhere near qualified to do, got exposed to a lot and learned a ton. But good lord, what a lovely race to the bottom that whole industry is. poo poo cheap customers, poo poo cheap owners, just garbage all the way down.

Wasn't ubiquiti originally spun off from Motorola a long time ago? I vaguely remember there being a reason that their gear used a different wattage than everyone else. I know I've been guilty of frying some wireless bridges in the past by not checking the PoE settings. That's a mistake you only make once or twice.

Ive worked some state and local government jobs that had set pay bands. They'd advertise the positions as being like $65-130k for example. Not telling you until you got hired though that basically only 1-2 people are getting that $130k. They had some wiggle room as to where you started at the lower bands, but the high range was for people who had been there 20+ years and got the raise year after year for those 20 years.

I use duckduckgo pretty exclusively. I'll still use a !g if I need to look up info on a specific product because those tend to have better results. Otherwise it's been great.
