So its been nearly 7 months now in my new role and the time has gone by so fast. I have settled in and comfortable in day to day tasks. There is still a lot to learn but definitely enjoying it. For those of you who don't know, I moved from a Team Lead role within a 1st/2nd line team to a IT Operations Team for the same company.

I work four days on and four days off - 12 hour shifts on a rota between nights and days. I was a bit hesitant at first and wondered who I would cope with the shifts but for me personally I've had no problems adapting. I've found that I don't really have a sleeping pattern so can easily switch from days and nights.

I stopped studying towards certifications for a while whilst I was learning more bespoke stuff for work but its time to get back onto it and complete my Linux Certifications!

 

I'll be interested to know where you are with your career currently

 

I usef to work nights in retail and it made me ill.. I was seriously considering moving to nights at my current IT company as the £ are more but when I think of the shift patterns I cant bring myself to do it. At night I need to be in bed.

 

Haha!

What was your career path from Operations team to a solutions architect?
