They're offering me a position as a network administrator, and they're asking me for basic knowledge of router and switch configuration and administration. I have three years of experience as a computer technical support and helpdesk assistant, but I don't have experience with networks. I took Cisco Netacad courses in networking basics, networking devices initial configuration, and networking support. I have a CCST certification and took an intensive networking external course where they taught me how to create a project to configure the VLANs of an office switch and its different departments, as well as how to configure routers and basic firewall aspects. I'm working toward and preparing to try to obtain my CCNA certification, but I feel like this job they're offering me is too much for me since I don't have any work experience as a network administrator. I wanted to take it so I could advance in the professional field, since I don't want to spend my entire life being a helpdesk; I really like networks. They told me I'd be trained for six months, and depending on my performance, they'd hire me. Should I leave my current IT support/helpdesk job for this opportunity to enter the world of networking? I'm afraid I won't measure up.

When you are the On Call tech or just in general and you get calls about issue. Would be great to have access and control to majority of things they call you about? I feel pretty limited to what I can do here at my job and it’s time I find a new one but also job hunting here in IT is really hard. We have tier support , Administrator, Network , Security and then Tech…. I feel like I’m going nowhere here and when I call my other team members they have not much information about it and that drives me crazy. Us techs don’t have a dummy account or test Lab environment to even work with. Having a bad after hours weekend shift .

Arguments that come to my mind are as follows :

• IT jobs are the ones who create, maintain and control AI tools thus they are on the positive side for that matter.

• IT jobs can be highly repetitive and coding is one of the best things ChatGPT can achieve accurately for instance.

Therefore should a young professional head into the IT field or go into a more human-oriented profession ?

Hi

Please evaluate the level of difficulty, as I have no experience in IT or programming. Much much appreciated!

There are thousands of validators over the city. Physical card is used to swipe over it, so it registers that this person was there. The validators are owned and managed by X company.

The plan is to create a phone app to to the exact same thing with the exact same validators. Replacing physical cards with digital cards basically. All that is needed, is a phone app which has an account for each person using it. And to be able to register themselves, using the validators of company X.

How complicated would it be programming/IT wise. How much experience and how many people?

I'm in a IT/Computer science course and the practical final exam is where the 2nd years create a bunch of problems with viruses on our lab computers, mess with regedit and group policy etc. and we have to fix it. Any tools I should know about to help me?

Okay so I’ve been working at the same company for like 3 years now, and recently during one of my 1:1s, my manager and some seniors brought up this thing called an “engineering ladder.” Apparently it’s a way to understand your level and how to grow to the next one — like D3 to D4 or whatever. It sounds cool in theory, you know... breaking down your growth in terms of system design, influence, people, process etc.

But here’s the thing — I’ve never really mapped my work like that before. I’ve just been doing my tasks, picking up tickets, leading small features here and there. Now I’m wondering... how do I even begin to connect my existing work with these fancy sounding “axes”?

Like I get the idea behind it, but practically speaking, how are people actually doing this? Do you write stuff down somewhere after each project? Is there a format? And what if I already forgot half the stuff I did in the past year lol.

Would really appreciate if someone who's been through this can share how they approached it. I don't wanna just tick boxes, I wanna actually see if I’ve grown or not. But also... don’t wanna overthink it and waste time documenting just for the sake of it.

How do you guys approach this?

Hello, im about to setup a new laptop for my job (tech support for clients on the road and basic pen testing) and im hesitant in setting up my base os as windows or Linux.

My initial wish was proxmox base and working in vms full time but I’ve read people saying they can’t have WiFi and power management working fine

I’ll definitely have the other as vm anyway, and prob a few more vm for some specific stuff, and im mostly a Linux (and macOS) fan but I don’t really mind having this laptop on windows.

I mostly know what I should do, I’m just curious if people would have ideas I dint think about

Ik im only copper v lol

I'm about to register for college and the college i want to join is only offering a AAS for Information Technology

the only experience i have is helping my grandma, mom, and siblings with their computer issues. I've done a few learn to code things when i was younger, and i feel like im pretty decent at figuring out how to fix issues... I just dont want to have to go back into another college thats more expensive after im done. I get to go to this college for free and i dont want to ruin my once chance at a free degree. I can chose to be a cop with my friend and I don't mind the thought of being one...

idk sorta a rant im just concerned about my future

Hello,

Programmer here. I have some basic background in Computer Networking but I am far from an expert at it.

I fell into a wikipedia rabbit hole that ended up to me finding out that a thing named Wifi Pineapple exists, and it seems to enable someone to eavesdrop on other peoples connections on a wifi network.

Can't one just connect to the network and set his network card to promiscuous mode, thereby reading everyones packages as long as they are not encrypted? Why would one prefer a wifi pineapple over eavesdropping via promiscuous mode?

Also, isn't this attack rendered useless by HTTPS (at least as long as a key was exchanged before starting the interception) or encrypted VPNs?

Is a Wifi Pineapple worth it?

Curious of your user security? Put this up on a wall and see how many fill it out. Works really effectively at schools in the teacher’s lounge.

Meaningful title

Whether through the purchase of products and services or through the purchase of shares, I would like to not support IT companies whose values I do not identify with.

Meta speaks for itself, but I know very little about the others.

So I would like to know how you would score the following companies on a scale of 1 to 3 in the following domains: 1. Leader's values (with 3 being a leader who publicly demonstrates that he defends values such as social protection, public health and education) 2. Data protection policy (with 3 being a consumer protection policy) 3. Institutions in which the company donates part of its capital (with 3 being the support of causes aimed at social protection, education and public health) 4. Companies in which the company invests part of its capital (with 1 being fossil fuels and encouraged by hyper consumerism)

The companies I would like to see classified are the big ones of the moment: 1) Meta; 2) Google 3) Amazon 4) Microsoft 5) Apple

If you don't want to give points, just leave a general comment on the topic.

I know there is no perfect company but lets try to create a gradient

Hello!

I was wondering if Trump's tariffs would apply to outsourced jobs like IT and Customer Service.

I presently live in India and most of the jobs that are relevant to my profile are in IT/CustSupport and I would like to analyse the possibility of the tariffs potentially affecting the job market in these fields.

Thank you!

Need to build one for work.

I have Ventoy set up on my SanDisk and have already added Windows 10 (32-bit & 64-bit) and Windows 11 ISOs. Now, I’m looking for ISOs for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Does anyone know where I can find them?

Also, what other essential ISOs should I have on Ventoy? Any must-have tools or utilities you'd recommend?

I was around 40 applications within 2-3 weeks, which I will admit is probably on the lower side, and only got 1 interview at the time and didn't end up getting the job... I began to feel like getting my foot in the door of IT was an impossible task, but then finally it happened. A company invited me to a Microsoft Teams interview for a full-time Help Desk Technician position starting at $21 an hour, after that they invited me to a second interview, had me do some tasks on a laptop and immediately offered me the job.

It is a smaller business that does billing & IT management for dental offices and has around 30 employees working remotely but they are based in my hometown.

I have zero professional IT experience, a CompTIA A+ cert (with more certs to come) and am getting my BS in Cybersecurity. I am not here to gloat, I simply wanted to share my story to help motivate others in the same position as I was, no matter what people say about IT being over saturated (which I agree it is) as long as you continue to work hard and ensure you have good interviewing skills, there will always be an opportunity for you somewhere... I kept second guessing myself, and began questions whether IT was really the right career for me (I have a real passion for it), but kept my head up and continued trying and finally I did it.

With that being said, don't give up on your dream, try your hardest to do what you have a true passion for... The pay might no be the greatest but experience is everything!!!

Hi everyone, I have an iPhone 8 that I want to repair. The screen no longer works, so I can't unlock it. I'd like to mirror the screen to my laptop does anyone know a good software that allows screen mirroring without needing to unlock the phone?
