Any IT fags out there? What do you do?

in training right now, going for sysadmin

jerking off

Nice, hows the course? What sort of stuff are they covering?

I did some mindless on site tech support which involved me going to old people and telling them they have two instances of the same program running.

Going for a bachelor's in software development. I should have written some apps or websites for cash but I'm lazy.

i wanna do coding etc im just kinda new to it

Everyone starts somewhere.. What kind of coding?

on my second quarter, it's honestly all stuff I already know
doing the basic 901/902 certs at the end of the quarter

Tech support and network administrator in a smaller hosting company

Yup. Write security APIs for financial companies.. Oauth, SAML, JWTs, etc.

Contract in London/UK. Contracts range between £750 to £880 a day. Currently on an extended (renewed) contract for 6 months (already renewed once) on £800/day.

Good work, people vary, companies vary. But i enjoy what I do.

Training for CCNA

Awesome, are you DevOps or more Dev?

RIP your brain. Is networking your main interest?

Mostly Dev. I try to get away from the DevOps as it means actually doing the support side of it and... well.. one of the benefits of contracting is the 'not tied' to the job.

I often do weekend work (which they pay for) on major releases. Some implementations I've worked on were very agile and have blue/green deployments which made it easier. Some, like my current role, are somewhat legacy and the infrastructure doesn't allow it so we have to swap stacks, swap DNSs, etc..

I dont mind supporting the stuff I write.. but i do very detailed docs/swagger for the APIs so it isnt rocket science and honestly -- there isn't much i the APIs apart from handling the security implementation so. i should get involved much. if that makes sense.

Sysadmin for a Big Pharma company. Nowadays it's mostly pulling reports and opening tickets for the Pajeets in Bangalore to fix all the shit our new corporate overlords won't let me do anymore. Man I hope those faggots sell us soon.

I do infrastructure for a large midwestern
Virtual environment (VMWare) SAN, eMail Archiving etc.

Oh, as some background -- i started out in Java, then self taught everything else I needed. I do a lot of UI work now (JQuery/NodeJS) to create pages to integrate with API testing I need. Many of the test suites the places I work for often dont do the testing I need so I quickly write up my own as often I need to pass cookies and session tokens around.

AAS in Networking. Currently an Assistant Network Engineer at a local university. Great job with tons of flexibility and set my own hours but the work itself is tedious and boring most of the time.

Cool. Is there much cloud based infrastructure?

To lazy to become actual IT guy am more like adobe reader IT guy but with a decent amount of knowledge. right now i'm unemployed and jerking alot, need to sort my life out.

ty user for this existential crisis with your thread. now back to jerking to some feet

My kinda guy (or girl)

Ethical Hacking

Were you working before?

Saving the penetration tester for the night clubs?

Yip!

yea, back for a local bookmakers. I kept the gambling machines and computers running.

also, can you recommend me a bezel free image viewer. i got my desktop ready but the bezels are fucking with me man

>pic related

web dev. basic stuff, cuz im still a junior

Nowadays, yes. Mostly AWS or Azure -- at least those are the two I've been involved in but predominantly AWS.

The hardest bits have been integrating login/IAM APIs which sit on-prem to the AWS UI or AWS gateway APIs companies have written.

Most fintech company's Security depts don't like putting client data in the cloud, which means you have to come up with some solution to access the on-prem client data securely, from an external source while ensuring the customer experience isn't like, 3-4 seconds or more to login or authenticate/authz.

Can be very stressful. So far, thanks to some of the tools I have been exposed to, it works quite well.

web developer here, working with laravel

Network Sys Admin here
I want to push forward into Pen. Testing

That sounds like a headache, So users are hitting AWS which calls data back from on-prem?

I can only think direct connect but I may be missing the point (sorry API total noob)

Part-time IT support (hands out hardware and restarts dipfucks machines), full time VTC/VoiP engineer, part time audio-engineer.

>be me, 28m, barely graduated high school
>work 60hrs a week as contractor at tech company
> $70k/annual w/o overtime
>trains dipfucks who went to university, in mountains of school loan debt

Always worked as audio engineer, same practices/principles for any basic support and VoIP shit.

Why are you doing the mundane jobs and not focusing on voip?

>What do you do?
Hate my job.

Yeh, so essentially the company is hosting its core RIA pages in say S3 and want to authc/authz their clients to their stored on-prem client data. So.. how? How to do it securely. There's lots of ways but I'm often constrained to by what that company limits or says they will use. Some have gone out and purchased expensive 3rd party IAM tools which have been brilliant to work with (ie: CA)

But often I've needed to get their existing AWS Gateway APIs (which are nothing more than dumb route-to's) through Lambda procs to be a bit smarter in what APIs we expose externally to call for the process, which usually involves authc/authz the client, creating a secure session, storing a security token on their device, mapping their device to something in the back and using that as their journey token/pass.

Sometimes easy, sometimes not so easy. Sounds easy the way i wrote it but honestly - that's after a lot of trial and error and trying to figure out what we can do with what we're allowed to use.

Fintechs are now very cautious and risk-adverse to losing client data...

On a couple occasions it was much easier when said fintechs already had or did eventually setup virtual private connections (VPCs) to AWS. Made it much easier for their internal Security depts to allow us to get stuff done.

Web application - media developer / Pen tester

On the road to becoming a hacker

IT Manager for a group of law firms

Not a lot of people could handle that pressure or have that level of technicality and it doesnt sound easy.

I take my hat off to you mate, and thank you for your time typing that all up.

no problem.

At the end of the day, if you enjoy what you do then it isnt so much of a chore.

Plus, i can't argue -- the rates are pretty damn good :)

Is it as well paid as they say?

I did forensic computing at uni which touched a bit of ethical hacking along the way.

Good choice!

download adobe reader

Good choice too.

Hahaha...

That's a good question. The audio engineering keeps the creative juices flowing. VoIP is the bulk of my work. IT support is for the OT.

Had some ethical hackers come along out of the blue once.

Their first job was to tailgate someone into the office, then pick up a PC and walk out.

They then scanned the network and found a notepad file with root admin passwords on it on my colleagues PC.

This is why I drink

I do software development

It's fine, it pays fairly well too

Was in IT for an internship when I was 19. Did server maintenance bullsht, turned off and on computers and fix printers. Made an app that monitors supply chain for how much product goes in and when.

Moved on to instructing uni labs and got another internship doing project management at 21.

Every job I got is paying under 20/h

Am I doing gud Sup Forums? Or am I just being another scrub ass

Im a second line IT engineer working on a helpdesk. But i want a new job

>bezel free image viewer.
something like irfanview?

SCCM / Windoze specialist, reporting in.

I am a subject matter expert.

Was server/sys admin did many things. Now teach this shit and about to get back into it. IT is so much fun. Learn get certs learn more. Push yourself no one will help you.
