  • Is it worth getting professional certifications while in a job?

    Jump

  • Yes, for mainly 2 reasons:

    • it shows your employer that you are willing to learn and grow (and they could even pay for it)
    • it adds value to your CV in case you want to leave

  • Mirror Mirror...

  • Maybe ask your friends as well, could be a team effort!

  • There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

    Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed "clickOps", but documentation never updated.

    When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I've seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

    Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

    Or they say "oh we need a new VM quickly, we'll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud". And guess what, it never happens.

  • Any tips for finding a remote job as a senior software engineer?

  • As @candyman337@sh.itjust.works said, use a recruiter/agency. Post your CV to indeed and reed. It depends also where you are, in EU the job boards are different than US I guess. Speaking of LinkedIn, have you posted a message saying "hello world, I'm open to work and I've experience at this $stuff", and then ask your friends to share it. I got a couple of contacts that way.

    Also, look for a resume builder/parser. Quick search gave me https://www.open-resume.com/ https://noted.lol/open-resume/

    Pretty much everyone uses a CV parser when you apply, so if your is not formatted properly it's properly one of the reasons you get rejected. Another reason is that probably they recognize you are above what they need, so they know that a) you'd be expensive and b) probably get bored fast and leave. Put stuff you have experience with, specifying what your experience is, what your contributions were to the project etc. Saying "5 years of experience on $language" is not very meaningful. Writing "I created a Perl program to import data from Word docs to a MySQL DB, optimizing the code to use no explicit variables" (true story btw) is better. Or most likely "worked on $project for $industry, implementing $modules and enforcing $best_practice, collaborating with the wider team and helping mentoring other junior developers". Don't forget to mention non-technical skills. Companies look for someone whom is nice to work with more than someone who knows everything. A guru that alienates people is less worthy than someone that maybe don't know everything (and admits it) but can talk to others.

    Re: time wasters. Holy shit 8 round of interviews! Even MS and AWS are less than that! MS was the biggest in my experience with 5 (but tbh it was all in a day, so not a horrible drawn out process, just different people). But you can ask at the beginning when speaking with the hiring manager what's the process, and you can decide if it's something you want to spend time on or nah.

    Best of luck and don't be discouraged! I had a 3 months dry spell once, applying every day to multiple roles and being rejected. It's part of the game I'm afraid. Venting helps. Not getting a job immediately is not a failure in your part.

    Best of luck!

  • deep breath So I'm not the most star trek nerd by any measure, but I grew up watching the next generation (TNG), but also some of the original star trek series. And then deep space 9 (DS9) and enterprise. Also the one with the one which is not the enterprise and they got lost (forgot the name). But I've lost interest with the recent series. So not a uber nerd but I've watched quite a bit.

    I think starting with the MOVIES of the first series is good. But also starting with the series of TNG is ok.

  • How do you use only ipv6 server?

    Jump

  • First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?

    Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.
