I work for one of the biggest tech company's in the world as a Snr Support Engineer for there Data Systems (Dealing with admin's is my client base)

Not a lot of coding, but a deep enough Linux knowledge is required, really love the job.

Could move into writing scripts potentially in the future, but I like it this way to be honest.

I'm the bull for Brian Krzanich's wife. He keeps me on payroll as a consultant, but the only consulting I do is fucking his wife raw while he watches.

Sometimes I like to make him assemble AMD computers while I drill his wife's ass and she screams like a banshee.

I'm hospital helpdesk phone jockey who gets to repair computers in between calls. I'm pretty much pretending to be an expert and just good with Google. I was 0651 in the Marines but I remember jack shit about anything to do with Cisco. I didn't even last a semester in my University when I went. Now I watch Linus tech tips and get yelled at by doctors when I can't instantly figure out why their shit doesn't work. It's pretty comfy though. I got my own cubicle.

You mean most places in general, right? Could a geek make it as an admin because he is familiar with most popular OS and knows how to trouble shoot online?

If so I am going to fucking slam into a position and get the fuck off these foodstamps ASAP.

I neither work in tech nor pretend to be an expert. In fact I regularly talk about how much of a casual scrub I am. A Facebook machine is overkill to me. It seems to infuriate some Anons.

No we don't monitor the traffic at all except we keep track of the total amount of data each month because of our fair-use agreement.
Our abuse inbox is littered with DMCA filings against our torrenting users, but the CEO litterally doesn't give a fuck about them.
Every once and a while we receive subpoenas from the Police when they want the information of an user behind an IP that has downloaded CP or engaged in illegal behavior.

I'm in Desktop Support (internship though) and my boss knows quite a bit more than me but with enough googling I can figure most things out. He google's plenty as well. IT is just one of those thing you can know a lot but you never stop learning.

From what I've gathered most help desk and desktop support positions want someone who has good customer service skills and is willing to learn. 9/10 they'll take the guy who can handle customers and is willing to learn versus the autistic wiz who no one wants to be around.

>>61329697
As far as admin though, yea eventually but honestly that is a slowly dying field with the rise of things such as VMware. Not to say it's all doom and gloom but I'd shoot higher than admin, you won't start out there either.

Network Engineer @ Google. I work on edge network and our CDN. ask me anything

are you here still? What kind of stuff do you work on. I'm really interested in embedded systems, I'm doing a CS undergrad degree right now and this summer I am interning as a web developer for a financial company but I don't like it that much. I really want to go to grad school for embedded systems and get a job in the aerospace industry because it sounds cool as fuck. Do you have any tips, whats it like, etc...

What degree did you do in undergrad? do you do any programming in your job? what does your day consist of typically?

I'm a TA. It's not a "real" job but I get to yell at CS undergrads because they struggle with discrete mathematics.

I'm a masters student in CS but have an unrelated engineering undergrad degree.

I work on software tools for hardware radios - I don't do anything super groundbreaking as an intern but I get to write programs that directly interface with the hardware using C/C++.

The workplace itself is pretty great with a ton of history and smart engineers. I visited the unix lab today; got to see Dennis Ritchie's former office and also Aho's/Kernighan's office. Talked to a bunch of older engineers who told me about the days when they were creating C and Unix.

Pic related, Ritchie's old office.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

"QA Engineer". I think my job title includes "senior" somewhere, too. I do some boring shit that I question the point of, as because of our product (OS), we don't really test much of in-house software, we do not integrate tests into the tested software, we only test installation and core functionality of thousands of packages.

I'm a neet, and if you're ready to be pissed off [spoiler] I get £1200 a month in bennies and 60% of the rent on my two bedroom house paid for even though I live on my own [/spoiler]

I'm a Test Analyst for a domain, hosting and solutions company

I just landed a job as a Java Software Engineer for about 45k € / month before taxes.

I'm fresh out of university (got my diploma last month) and have no work experience whatsoever in this field. This is my first IT job.

Did I do good?

I think you misunderstood the offer.
Where do you live?

Whoops. I meant 45k € / year of course, sorry.

Well then, 3750 EUR is, depending on location, mediocre to good.

I work at a government building fixing notebooks, mostly.
The notebooks are used by judges and justice procurators and any misstep can cost my job, so its pretty stressing. Also, I'm not paid very well.

Im an embedded enginer writing firmware for drives. Pretty great considering my workspace with the avg age of 40yo is nothing like these hipster, kode places that 'modern' companies try to do.

And its a pretty solid knowledge you get from a guys that are in the industry for years (Im 26 btw). The shittiest part of working with people your age is that as long as you are not retarded, there's pretty big chance you know more than them, so you learn nothing.
