I'm trying to get this job with IBM. I got an interview next week. I'm going to post a general description of the job. If anyone can give me any knowledge of questions I should ask I'll be much obliged.
This role is an individual contributor responsible for on-site installation, maintenance and repair of IBM and multi-vendor systems and components, including hardware, networking products, software and operating systems. They are the primary technical interface to clients for the coordination of hardware and/or software support and delivery of operational services as required by the client. They advise clients of preventive maintenance, configuration, operation and environmental factors which may impact product performance or impair client's IT operation. They may also perform services activities such as systems assurance, installation planning, account management, systems-level problem determination, discontinuance and relocation of IBM and non-IBM systems and products. They are accountable to ensure a high level of client satisfaction with service delivery, technical support and operational services for the client account(s). When critical situations occur, they are the IBM technical interface to clients and manage the situation until the problem is fixed.

They are responsible for the technical value relationship to protect revenue base and identify new services opportunities.
Why is that? I was looking to use my cyber security degree to get into digital forensics/cyber crimeI would definitely stay far away from IT security. Why specialize in something knowing you'll eventually get hacked.

Damn, that does sound wack, I thought I had my plan, I was also thinking about pen testing or intel. What do you do?Because most companies could care less about cyber security. They just want someone to blame or to clean up the mess when they get hacked. The cost of securing most networks is so high it's just not cost effective to do so.
You'll constantly be at odds with damn near everyone else in the company because nobody wants to follow proper security controls. They'll spend more time trying to constantly get around your security safeguards thus creating more work for you. All these clowns care about is whether their shytty App works. The minute it doesn't work it's always the IPS or Firewall's fault.
If you want to get into Digital Forenics I suggest you check into the laws of your state first. Some states require an private investigators license to perform computer forensic work in a court of law.

Damn, ive been working on this cyber security degree for the last 2 1/2 years, and now you are saying its more headache than its worth? I tried studying for my CCNA and net + a few times and to me the material is just so boring and dry, and I always thought it would suck working as an network admin and being restricted to using old outdated equipment to do my job or trying to maintain an old network. I have worked on more than a few federal contracts and they almost always have old ass computers running XP. At this point I am looking for something I can focus on that will get me out of tier 2 support and will not require me to deal with supporting people directly.I currently work as a Security Analyst but definitely won't be doing this shyt long term. I usually switch IT jobs every 3 or 4 years so I've worked in tons of different areas.
The majority of pen testing jobs that pay big money are probably in the Federal sector. But the workload is fukking insane and that's why I left for the private sector. If I had to do it all over again I would've stuck with Networking. If you design a pretty good network it won't require much maintenance. And the best part is nobody can tell you shyt because most people don't know shyt about networking. But it has it's drawbacks because most companies are dumping Telephony on their Networking Departments.
