Just thought I would let you all know that I have a new job working in Third Line Support!

Contracts have been signed, notice has been handed in.

What can I say, what an amazing first year in IT

 

Congrats!

What will you be working on?

 

Thanks guys!

The job is supporting SME. They are partners with Vmware, Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, Citrix and a few others.

One of the things that sold it to me was the fact they give you 10 days each year (in my contract!) with a well known training provider and you can do courses in anything they partner. So I'm thinking CCNA and VCP as well

After the intial period of proving myself, I will then have the opportunity to work on projects, installs, migrations, field work etc.

I'm excited and I feel it gives me the opportunity to have exposure to lots of different technologies with a company that invests in you. I can then decide at some point in the future, which area to specialise in.

 

Thanks mate.

I'm thinking more a specialisation at some point rather than management (again), need to experience alot more stuff before I make my final choice.

 

Congrats, you've obviously worked hard the past year so well done!

 

You think?

Try getting a Technical Architect or Senior Engineer role...

Actually - that's not true at the moment. I know I'm probably going to regret this (tempting fate and all that) but I still see quite a few senior roles come up in my inbox at the moment - especially in the Storage Architect/Virtualisation areas. Certainly get more of those than third line at present, so maybe you're right JK!

Congrats Craigie - nice to hear a success story on here for once!

 

good to see hard work paying off

Radios back..... there is jobs out there Spock

 

That is amazing Cragie, your success gives me and I'm sure many more hope!

 

Congrats mate Well deserved

Qs

 

Well donw m8 and thoroughly deserved !

 

Congrats Craigie! Good to see hard work paying off!

Good luck in your new role.

Dave

 

Zing!

 

Thanks guys, I'm going to put together an overview of my journey and what I have done to be able to get to 3rd Line in this timeframe.

 

Would be very useful to know, so am looking forward to it. I'm actually following your MCSE exam order quite closely myself (70-284 can sod off though, 70-270 is the one for me )

It's always nice to see others doing well after such hard work.

Qs

 

Congrats...
The new job sounds great with lots of promise for the future too.

 

I agree with JK on this. Some of the “Senior” and “Architect” peers are seriously lacking knowledge and common sense. It’s disappointing to see. On the other hand, the 3rd line support isn’t much better in common sense either… (at least they have technical knowledge )
