Breh ive had enoughThe network engineer i work with is one of those nerdy know it all types so you can imagine dealing with that everyday
That may be true but idk working at bigger companies I felt there was some what order there
I guess it all depends where you go..The signs were here when i got hired and i ignored it
I know what you mean. I went from a place where there was a policy, procedure and documentation to everything to a place where people think it's OK to reboot a server in the middle of the day and not notify anyone. It use to drive me mad that these things were not only done but people legit thought it was normal practice. I just take it as a learning experience on what not to do.
New gig?

Donald Trump blamed for job losses as Indian IT workers face cuts

Donald Trump blamed for job losses as Indian IT workers face cuts
Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro won’t disclose how many IT jobs they cut, but it appears the industry is going through one of the largest retrenchments in its history
Bengaluru: Swapana Bhosale was stunned when she found out earlier this month she was losing her job at tech services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions in India. Layoffs in the business are rare, particularly if employees are in the middle of client assignments like she was.
“Pulling people out of projects to sack them is unheard of in our industry,” said Bhosale, who demanded to be fired rather than resign so she can take legal action.
The 36-year-old sees an unusual culprit behind job losses in the country’s outsourcing industry: US President Donald J. Trump. She thinks his immigration policies are contributing to early cutbacks, aggravating losses that come from automation and softer customer demand. Cognizant and peers like Infosys Ltd and Wipro Ltd won’t disclose how many jobs they cut, but it appears the industry is going through one of the largest retrenchments in its three-decade-plus history.
Bhosale’s not alone in blaming Trump. In cities like Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata, thousands of engineers who have been axed or face dismissal are banding together on social networks and WhatsApp groups to decry Trump’s policies. They are discussing the creation of the first industrywide IT labour union, which may foreshadow broader changes in a $110-billion business at the heart of India’s economy.
“People are angry,” said 25-year-old Pankaj Kumar Singh, a software analyst who was dismissed from Cognizant’s Kolkata operation after two years at the company. “They feel Trump’s policies have a lot to do with the firings.”

I passed the A+ 901 exam. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. The simulations were easy.
How difficult is the A+ 902 exam?

After being in school forever I'm finishing my CS degree this summer. Looking to get a cert or 2 by the end of the year. What ones should I get to maximize my resume. I think I to get into cyber security but any advice would be helpful

If you have a CS degree what do you need certs for?

Was told it helps better since I want to get into cyber security and we didn't really touch on that in school.
The best thing for you is to work on your github and get an Internship. We have to get certs because we lack formal knowledge in IT and CS. The fact that you have a degree gives you the chance to start in a mid-level position (Developer, Sys/Net admin, Consultant etc.)
If you insist on getting a cert then you should get the RHCSA or the OSCP. Your knowledge of programming will come in handy for both certs. The RHCSA will lead you down the path to a Site Reliability Engineer. You can pivot into Cyber security with it too. The OSCP will get you a job as a Pen Tester. It is not an easy exam, but I recommend it to anyone that is serious about security.
Red pill or Blue pill? Pick one.
