I thought you would be on call don't you set up environments for development? Do they break often?
The Kubernetes work I'm doing hasn't been slated for production yet, so nobody is really monitoring it. The development environments I deploy are only used by a handful of us, and really only during the day. The majority of issues pop up at the start of the day and I can resolve them before close of business. If not, there's always the next day
. Eventually the Ops guys will be taking over so if I do my job right they'll have all the tools they need to remediate without me. Unfortunately our application is really temperamental so shyt goes sideways unexpectedly and in the worst ways, but we have people who are more knowledgeable about it than I am, so they'll be the first ones to have to troubleshoot.
Ok, I'm just trying to see what my next move should be. Right now I'm in PC Support / Product Support and we stay having to call DBA's on off-hours when something breaks. If not them then it's the Systems Admin or the Network Admins. They get annoyed when we call and I get annoyed back having to call them about something that broke that shouldn't have. When I move up I want what you have. I want to put in my 8 or 12 hours and DO NOT call me after I leave there for the day on the weekends.The Kubernetes work I'm doing hasn't been slated for production yet, so nobody is really monitoring it.

What is the name of the position? Was it a 24/7 operation?
The job title for that position was named Security Analyst. Most cybersecurity roles that don't have Engineer in the title are usually 24/7.
I applied for the Fed job. Based on the assessment questions, it most certainly aligns with my skill set. My friend also hit me up the night before the job posted to make sure I had the correct keywords. I'm really hoping she pushes me through because I want to be done with job searching for a while, in fact, I'd like this to be my last interview. The next move is to be presenting my products and services to potential clients. I'm sick of talking to these recruiters, running the same story about my back ground and regurgitating the same info over and over, just for a new person.
We did it brehs.
Just signed an offer in LA for a senior engineer role at one of the big tech companies. Total compensation 350K
Momma we made it!
Five and a half years ago I got laid off from my first gig right out of college. I had to move back home with my parents and was unemployed for two years. Wasn't for lack of trying either. Was doing Uber 50 hours a week for $15/hr and started going to code meetups in the city to start learning Python. Finally after two years got a job offer and moved out to LA. Worked at a startup so was putting in 50-60 hours(sometimes more) at work each week, while studying for the GRE to go back to school and doing another 20 hours on the weekends with Uber to make ends meet. Stayed in a shytty shared room for a few months just to stay afloat.
Got arrested for assault. DA dropped the charges thank God. Initial prognosis was about a year in jail.
Got into Grad School
Left the startup for a new job
And just been grinding since then brehs.
I'm graduating with my Masters next month and I got this new gig. I'm just in disbelief mane
Let this be a lesson to any of y'all on the fence. You can do it too. Put in the work and grind and tech will take care of you.
how far will $350K take you in LA tho? I heard making a million out there ain’t really shyt. And we need the details of the assault charge
And we need the details of the assault charge
I ain't going to lie. These taxes going to be beating my ass
However doing the math, it's still phenomenal money regardless where you're living. I can afford to buy a decent house in LA proper now without having to live in the Inland Empire.
As far as the assault charge...
Had a meeting with my manager this week to do a post 90 day check in and see whats next in my development.
I got rave reviews from other members of my team and he said everything has been positive
We are meeting next week to discuss some goals for the next year. 1st time i've had a manager who seems to give a shyt. Rare when dealing with white folk

Slack announced that their employees are working from home until September. I'm expecting a lot of other tech companies are going to extend their WFH too.
Helpdesk is cool so far 
but I know I’ll need to get off the phones by the end of this year. Can’t imagine doing it for five years
like some people here.
but I know I’ll need to get off the phones by the end of this year. Can’t imagine doing it for five years like some people here.Submitted for a Qlik developer role at $55/hr. It’s only a 3-6 month contract, but that’s fine. The Feds are releasing a bunch of IT roles and I can use the salary to negotiate my starting step, if it comes to that. I didn’t have much of the UI and python experience, so the recruiter was like they may offer a lower rate. As long as it’s not below $50.
