High volume Call Center is much worse tho, and there's people who do that shyt forever.
But i've been really "blessed" in my last two positions.

Breh learn to subnet
Yeah, that shyt ain't that hard. You can master it in a weekend or less if you apply yourself.
Plus, once you know it, you can just use a subnet calculator like everyone else
Having an up to date skillset is so important. If you're in infrastructure, you need to know Linux, how to script(logging into servers manually isn't the wave), plus some configuration management solution(puppet/chef/cfengine, saltstack). I get weekly emails like this from recruiters just from having an up to date LinkedIn:

I trained Sheng Long and Shonuff
You're the run of the mil admin breh. You need to learn some new skills and specialize.
Since you already know AD, start learning powershell (and how to do AD related tasks), Azure, AD DS, AD LDS, and AD FS (SSO, SAML, etc).
Also start learning about AD CS.
That would make you a pretty good directory services engineer.
Azure AD is getting pretty big right now and federation has already been a high demand skillset. Once you learn how to configure the shyt I mentioned above, learn how to integrate it with non Microsoft platforms.

Experience is experience no matter where you got it. Plus, having experience in other countries might be valuable when you go interview for a global company.@bdizzle @RubioTheCruel @Ice_MF_Mike I got a foreign connect for IT jobs
I'm being put in for a position that says they'll pay for my CCNA and give me networking experience, as well as pay some other education.
My question is, if I start doing contract work out of the country (this would be in New Zealand) would it affect my future ability to get jobs in the US? The skills and experience should be universal right?
Man I gig at chase is turning slowly into a help desk role brehs 
. With this new policy they want us to use a sheet to log in the tickets we do manually, the time, and everything. Its like being in a call center now without being on the phones

Word, I was going to teach myself Python (already started but had to pause for mid terms), Puppet, and I have a Linux class I bought on Udemy. Was going to maybe try to get the AWS cert this summer just to have some knowledge on the product since they are dominating the game right now. I`m a BA but DevOPs is the wave right now and I`m trying to get in where I fit in.
Head for the hills. That policy is the precursor to layoffs. They're looking to see how many man hours you are spending on trouble tickets and if they really need as much staff as they currently have
I don't.
We have a team here dedicated to Cerner, and my team supports it. Not overly challenging

I have no strings on me.

Opportunity to build or recommend something for them.Even if it doesn't lead to a raise or promotion, at least try to make your life easier and build a new skillet to put on your resume..
