secret_ninja,

This. Generally speaking, If we don’t support small businesses, large corporations win and we all lose.

filen.io - one time payment plans - encrypted cloud storage (filen.io)

Sorry if this reads like an ad; the link is a non-referral one. (I am broke though if anyone wants me to DM my referral link (10%) lol) I heard about it here and wanted to share for others that were interested by that original post but waiting for a sale....

  1. this sounds like a disguised ad…
  2. the monthly pricing doesn’t make sense, it’s too low for them to be sustainable as business, especially considering the offered features.
  3. any cloud storage company that offers lifetime plans should not be taken seriously.
  4. the only positive here is that their FE apps are open source.

What can a senior desktop support tech do who is burned out?

I am wondering what kind of career moves I have available to me because I am over the bullshit of desktop support. I have been brushing up on my Linux skills, learning docker, and doing a whole bunch of networking-related things. At this point, I am 46 years old. Would it benefit me to go back to school to learn a skill to help...

secret_ninja,

There’s a lot of good advice here. I just want to add that you absolutely do not need to go back to school. It’s a waste of money! I’m 100% self-taught, work in “DevOps” and not a single employer in the last 6 years has asked me about my education or credentials. I enjoy it and it pays well. You don’t have to do DevOps though. Lots of jobs in IT and employers are competing for skills.

secret_ninja,

3 (all contracts and by choice). But I did at least a dozen interviews in the same period and no one ever asked about any diplomas.

secret_ninja,

Believe it or not, with the right skill set (ie if you have skills that employers are looking for) you won’t even need to apply. Headhunters WILL find your linkedin. Right now the market is noticeably slow and thousands of IT professionals got laid off in the last few months alone. The economy will recover soon though so maybe get ready for when that happens by learning new skills. AI, big data, IaC, etc are all in demand.
