Been meaning to ask, fukking with this powershell course now. Is that still the hottest/most standout skill to know?

Go to the job boards and search. That's the best way to find what skills are in demand

Question 1: Install Windows Server and set it up as an RODC (read only domain controller). Secure the connection using site-to-site VPN

Question 2: Create a powershell script to return a list of users whose passwordAge attribute is older than 6 months and email the report to the users manager.

Question 3: Enable Rapid Fail Protection on the App Pool and write a powershell script to notify administrators when the pool is down.

On the real these aren't lvl 1 questions though. Unfortunately you have companies that want to pay lvl1 salary for lvl 2/3 type of work

I don't even know how much it pays. I still haven't mastered the art of keeping my mouth shut when asked about salary. I said $45k because I really want out of my current job and it's more than what I'm making. Also, everyone here says not to worry about salary when starting out.

This is the rest of the questions:

The only one I know is first one: Powershell. I'm not sure how much they expect from me. If I had to guess, I'd say this is for a higher position and they give it to lower tier applicants just to see what they know.

Me giving you the answers won't help you. If you want to learn, look the answers up, fire up a VM, and verify it works. If they're asking you this shyt it's probably because they expect you to know how to do it.

If you have questions on setting it up I can help you.

Thanks, man. If I have specific questions, I'll probably pop in this thread.

But for now... I forgot the password on my Server 2012 VM. :francis:

people think UI stuff is light-hearted "not real development" but boy does that change when you actually get into the industry :noah:

I'm actually finding the server-side more sane than UI development on the front-end. Front end development used to be html, css, and a sprinkling of Javascript, usually in the form of jQuery to make static pages with some cool effects. Now, front-end development has turned extremely complex, and what adds to the fact is that there are 10,000 tools that all do similar things in slightly different ways... add to the fact that JS is not the most readable language and it can make developing on the front end headache inducing. Couple that with the fact that you have to make sure that your site works with 5,000 different screen sizes and the fact that you can't use certain language features because some supported browser doesn't implement it... Let's not forget that all of these framework creators decided to add their custom 'twist' on JS, so you have to deal with that too. FE developers really need to get paid more.
