18 a hourDo I accept the offer or will I regret it?
>>107897594That's going to be an absolutely miserable experience for you. You're gonna be underpaid for how much you're going to work. Times are tough though. I'd do it if I had to.
>>107897594i'm about to take a job driving a fuel truck for 30 an hour despite having 15 years of experience in a field i got my (non tech) BS in, so i'd say take it. this market sucks and i feel for anyone without money.
>>107897606Actually? Please elaborate anon
>>107897594Give me that job I need it more than u
>>107897617Because most MSPs are just fucking structurally miserable places to work. MSPs are always downstream of the worst possible decisions an IT entity can make. It's like working a shitty customer service call center job because a lot of the time it's metric based. Shit like ticket closure over root cause and resolution times take precedent meanwhile you'll learn real fast that it's all duct tape over actual architecture. Every tool at your disposal is old as fuck and you don't have time to learn anything at length. The documentation is gonna invariably suck too. Everyone you talk to is going to treat you like shit and act like their issue is the most pressing. Maybe something you're not a stranger to, I don't know but they're ALL like that. It's a soul crushing feedback loop of faggotry.
>>107897697And again, you are being paid like dog shit on top of it all
>>107897697Thanks for the input, I'll maybe reconsider then as I am not pressed for a job right now. Any other anons have input?
>>107897594I literally can't get hired flipping burgers, presumably because I am overqualified. But nothing I AM qualified for is hiring, and if they are they aren't talking to me. So I'd say take it.
>>107897720depends on the people running iti do L1 helldesk at an MSP and while yes, there are certainly parallels to what anon was saying>i am generally treated OK by my company>i am allowed opportunities to grow/learn shit>documentation is generally pretty good provided the client is SLA>allowed to assign self tickets, no dispatch>provided not insaaanely busy can shadow assistances with L2 and learn solution>users/internal IT not *TOO* retarded (for the most part...)
>>107897720Here's my 2 cents on where to go if you can afford to be picky and go over and decide a job and actually consider jobs, and this is coming from my years of experience and my network of professionals.1: Do not work at universities. I speak from experience on this. Right now, most universities are having trouble recruiting students due to lower student numbers in general, and how Gen Z/Alpha sees less value in college than prior generations. So, less funding is coming in, and the universities are cutting costs, which means shit is not getting maintained as well. Also, in my experience, universities tend to band aid their IT infra, and then when their entitled as fuck faculty demand to be treated special, IT caves in 90% of the time because "academic freedom." I swear to God the number of exceptions we made for faculty bordered on thousands.2: Hospitals. You do not want to work alongside entitled doctors.3: Any place with Indians in higher management, middle management, or C-Suite. Look up Izzat.
