If you want to work you should join a industry meetup group and learn what software / hardware stacks are of interest that the older folks are trying to learn and learn them ahead of the curve
If we hire people we want skills we don't already have
If you're young and know how to keep your strong opinions moderated and useful then you become an asset and not a dangerous liability
Which is what older folks like us wrestle with in a new hire
I love teaching kids who have energy and are excited but I hate when I find that their passion is purely in just making money and finding shortcuts to do the task, instead of learning their craft and engineering good solutions. If I wanted something done quickly I would've outsourced it to an agency or a contractor. We would hire a young engineer because they are excited about learning and so they put more energy towards doing things to completion
i kinda looking for just a weekend job, not an it job at some big company yet > tbh it's not that impossible to have both, a guy I know had a weekend job as IT at DTZ, he didn't have any degree he just knew his stuff, iirc you're in belgium right? 'cause I'm too
IT like, desktop tech support?
@shadowedROM You know, most of the time it's what they got in mind because they always got told "if you got X diploma you will earn X money" and then they will do it not because they will like it, but because they will have money.
included but not only
You're better off trying to get a NOC job at a datacenter
@Rey yeah I agree that is not the correct message to give to people, since they should be gearing themselves for a whole lifetime of learning
it's not my stuff so I don't really know the details but I knew he was also doing maintenance on their servers and shit like that
Windows server? Like exchange, active directory, etc?
I really don't know, sorry m8
Don't apologize to me 😃 you should find out
And try them at home on VMs and see if you actually like it
But tbh that's not really a job that will exist in 15 years
well it's been like 4 years and it doesn't really interest me that much, as I said it's not my stuff, I'm doing physics
Physics is a great foundation of study
You know matlab right
I'm mostly using mathematica though kek
no bully
Don't waste your time with IT.
You're worth more than that
I'm not interested in IT at all m8, I was just giving my 2 cents for the other guy
Ah ok
Right
Don't waste your time with IT.
You're worth more than that > w-why though?
Sorry I'm a little disoriented heh not feeling well
no worry
take care laddie
because traditional IT is being consolidated by managed services and infrastructure as code
An exchange server is a liability
Nobody wants to deal with it anymore
Many CIOs/CTOs are going to make the choice to jump to azure hosted apps in the coming years
damn, it must feel bad being in IT
The IT staff of yesteryear will seem as distant as being a human operator at a telephone switchboard
By being in IT you always have the possibility to learn more
There's always room at the table for smart people willing to pearn
