Infosys has 132 suppliers who sponsor visas.

Do they accept 3rd world country nikkas?

Same, as far as the overqualified part.

I have an "office" to myself but its really just a big ass room with no one else here.
No windows, no nothing. Just space and computer parts.
I'm gonna bring some speakers next week.

I actually setup a small on-prem cloud today to help them cut their Azure bill. Gonna bring some servers down over the weekend.







Not my best cable management, but the actual setup is nice very professional. 5x HyperVisors, All clustered (vms will run in CPU comp mode for live migratoin)
One dedicated switch just for migration, and a secondary dedicated switch for iSCSI, 2 nics teamed for internet (and set to load balance)


So I actually did some work today


Going to do the NAT rules and firewall configs later, gotta play some WoW.

I actually convinced them that I needed a gaming laptop and 2 144hz monitor because I have "eye strain"

Job goals

What the fukk???

And I am waiting for the background check to get in my Information Technology Specialist positionBased on the setup of the place, I punched above
my weight and would be doing more than Help Desk, though it requires some travel to the different campuses in the Chicago area.

The head of IT and I hit it off and he literally bushed the other resumes during the interview. He interviewed me off the strength of my A+ (Its totally not a useless cert),
and while I completely botched all 3 of the interview questions, he knew I was knowledgeable.

One question he asked, poorly worded, was what kinda memory have PCs been using as of late? I answered DDR4. He said no, he meant in terms of CPU.

I didn't know what the fukk he was talking about, so I backed up and thought about the most recent major thing with CPU's, walking through it aloud, and surmised
he was talking about the Northbridge since AMD integrated all the functions years back and killed the Southbridge. Guy says he was looking for L3 cache, but he knew
what I was getting at. If he worded it differently, I wouldn't have Juelz'd that shyt so hardSo basically he called me 2 days earlier than he said he would and handed me
the assurance I got it, and he just letting HR do their thing, told me that they are lenient on background checks. All I know is, by months end, I won't be serving food anymore:letyasoulglow:

No disrespect to him, but he worded the question badly. I would have said DDR4 as well.

If he had said cache memory that would have made more sense

And unless he wants you to breakdown how meltdown and spectre work, why would it matter if you know how cache memory works or not? Not like its something you would ever have to troubleshoot

I keep telling folks it isn't, but they ain't hearing me

Even the recruiters were like "WTF?!"

But congrats man, I saw you in a few topics over the last few months lamenting your situation. I'm sincerely happy for you.

I know how much the first IT job I got meant to me, it told me that this isn't a fluke and I can really do this.

So can you

Get that bag and don't slow down.

I think he just tossed that out there to see if he could answer, I would have said the same thing.

I wanna see a Black silicon valley

Yea, it fukked with me, cause you have to be specific. Memory is a blanket term to those not with the shyts. Folks can take that to mean ram or hard drive storage. If he said anything like cache or integrated memory controller, I would have known what he meant right then. Either way, we chopped it up about certs and shyt, and it was a wrap. On the way out of the office to get a smoke, balled up the resumes, tossed em on a desk, and talked to me for a few more outside of the interview.

I feel like I lucked the fukk out in a major way.

Lol
That’s a pretty ambiguous question
I would have asked to clarify if he meant RAM though.

I answered reflexively. The head of IT...I would assume would use "memory" specifically to address volatile memory, not anything referring to cache.

But heyI'm not about to argue that kinda shyt with a man that is putting me on to a total career change. To not have to serve food anymore, I will
pretend zip drives are the best on-the-go storage method if need be.

I feel your logic.. but I wouldve said DDR4 unless he specified also. But hey, if the nikka bout to give me a job that would change my life. Id ride the wave.
