Seems like they're adding solar options now, but surprised it wasn't an option for many from the get go.

 

[spiderjericho]

From what I understand, solar and wind turbines will not provide enough energy generation to satisfy the power requirements for these mega AI-enabled data centers, unless they use nuclear power or create their own energy grid.

Engineers? Help desk may be a coveted role soon

 

[Mark Antony]

I Was thinking about that recently seeing new CS grads struggling to get roles. If they reject the entry level, fire all the middle, what happens when all the seniors leave or retire? How do these dummies fill those senior roles?

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Engineers in the MEP industry have a public Google doc that allows them to share their salaries anonymously.

I thought the traditional engineers (like mechanical, electrical, etc) made a lot more

anyone gone far in the aws cert track?

This stuff gets better daily.

Got 3 currently. Probably going to have 5-6 by the end of the summer. Eventually going to go for the golden jacket. I may be able to offer some advice and what's worked for me.

 

[freefrombondage]

Just got accepted for Cloud Architect Intern Position at a FAANG company. Long as I meet my deliverables it should result in a full time offer. Been working towards this for 2 years. Feels good !

Yup, if you know how to code already that’s great. But nowadays it’s hard to try and learn it from “scratch” cause of how it’s viewed and where it’s headed.

still on the edge of enrolling but it’s cool I guess

It's about to be a wrap for IT. Entry level jobs at risk, some skilled jobs at risk due to AI, upper management always looked at as expendable. It's looking real bleak for CS majors and anybody looking to break in.

Seems like IT jobs that are customer service oriented will stay for some time.

Im a front-end developer and we’ve been doing AI integration at my job and with the right prompts and ai tools you can spit out whole programs with ease. Things are definitely about to get bleak within the field.

Who does that apply? All Federal employees, including contractors?

not sure. the wording is pretty vague.

but my friend works for the NIH and they been making him come in 3 times a week and there are talks of coming in all 5 days now.

Before he only came in once a week.

Also, you now must be local to the area so if you're remote and cant come in, you either have to move within office distance to come in or you get laid off.

 

[whoisthisguy]

Trying to get into the Tech field as we speak. All this AI talk definitely is bleak as hell. Smh

 

[703 hwy]

Feds first. Some agencies don’t have room to bring both back.

 

[willypete]

And they complained about work not being done remotely, wait until everyone is just standing at the water cooler all day yapping about nothing

 

[datznasty]

Beruseruku Desu hopefully they don’t try to mess with you or anyone you work with and then you by proxy. I aint coming. 1 day a week is fine. I’ll log into my classified side stuff to keep it active and the rest of the week, I’m on vpn from the house. All the computers and other devices we are cybersecurityin on don’t even exist in real life, they’re all virtual. No need to drive to a real physical place to work on imaginary machines

 

[Mark Antony]

Working from home and the neighbors started having sex during a call during the day. I was heated and about to Karen the hell out of them, but remembered that I would have done that while younger too.

 

[spiderjericho]

I just started a job. It’s a DoD contract that promises hybrid work.

They’re doing heavy recruiting locally.

I show up and they don’t have enough seats/cubicles for everyone. And their data center is not a data center but a room with racks and two giant fans pulling heat and exhausting. Seemed chaotic.

I like doing networking but I want to get into Cloud and do remote.
