When I was at Navient I had to rebuild my team a couple times. It was rough finding good candidates. I did find two really incredible teammates but it wasn't easy.

Tell me again how Linux is dying!
I have run Linux (Ubuntu/Debian derivatives) as my primary desktop since 1999. I have converted several friends and acquaintances from Windows to Linux. They are very satisfied and rarely call me for support anymore.
If necessary, Windows runs great as a VM running under Linux, I run a copy of W10 to host my iTunes software to keep my phone backed up and sync'd.
The company I used to work for had a 100% linux server infrastructure with over 900 systems across 3 geographically placed DCs. All the developers and IT staff ran linux desktops. The only users of Windows were the execs and office staff supported by an AD server (x3 for redundancy) and a storage share server (x3). Company runs on Google Docs.
Linux is growing. Conversely, Windows 11 is beginning to put off many IT managers and users and are looking for paths off the platform.
The latest shenanigans by Broadcom to suddenly remove support for free ESXi and VMware perpetual licensing is causing much disruption in the industry at the moment.

Linux is far from dead. Some country gov's are moving to it. Russia is developing their own kernel. Also like 90% of could servers are Linux.
Congratulations!
They told me COBOL was not just dying, but dead 30 years ago too!Tell me again how Linux is dying!

I recently interviewed a candidate that may have been using ChatGPT or another generative AI for the interview. At first i just thought he was spouting out a bunch of different things he had done without answering the questions. The other person on the call with me said the answers sounded AI generated which I didn't really think so but on the next question it took him some time to begin answering a "have you used this, if so tell us about it" type question and I really had to wonder. Needless to say the candidate did not move forward.
There's a website I think it's lastroundai.com? Maybe?
That you can feed interview questions to and it will give you answers
Lots of typing not much reading comprehension going on here. Sorry to offend the bearded Linux Atheist crowd, I have met many of you and never understood your emotional attachment, however, I have learned not to argue with it. So lets break down the situation here. My comment was based on this guy seeking employment in the IT field in Indiana. The reality is once you get the boot from an internal IT job most people bounce over the an MSP for a couple months/years until they find another company to bring them in house and overpay them. Most MSPs in the state support companies in the 10-100 user range. Companies in this range are typically living in the Microsoft stack. They usually only have 0-3 Servers on site and minimal virtualization ( of course there are outliers, had a 15 seater with 34 virtual servers across 4 boxes. yes 34). Outside of a hypervisor or some other auxiliary device, a lot of small businesses are completely Linux free and 100% in the Microsoft stack. They are also moving more and more off prem as they switch over to cloud based HaSS. When I first started everyone had exchange and a DC on site. Now only the people riding out old over priced hardware are in that situation. So just to appease the chili dog scented among us, please reference my original post i said " non of OUR clinets" as in my anecdotal sample size of 1. No where did I say Linux was dying. No where did I say linux wasnt important, No where did i say linux was bad. I was simply telling this guy that unless he wants to sit around a few months waiting on a cushy enterprise level position, polishing up on Microsoft cloud skills is what will get him a job immediatley at mosty MSP or small businesses in indiana.Tell me again how Linux is dying!

There is a world of difference between, "Might be time to learn some additional skills like Windows server and Azure" and "Time to learn windows server and azure 365. Support around 3k endpoints almost none of our clients use Linux anymore"
The first sounds like helpful advice, the second is the arrogant Windows Admin stuff I hear all the time. Linux has its place in small & medium businesses as much as Windows. Sometimes it makes more sense to use Linux than it does to use Windows.
I say this as someone who has done AD, Exchange, Network Engineering, Linux Admin, IT Manager, Network Admin, etc. Worked for the largest MSPs in the world, the small businesses, large businesses and everything in-between.
More skills is always better. Being stuck in a silo only able to use a hammer is a bad place to be, having the whole toolbox helps you craft a better solution for your customers.
"I use Linux to run Windows to keep my iPhone updated."
This is how you tell normies, women, and old people you're significantly smarter than they are, without having to come right out and say it.
Again context is key here. This thread is based on a Linux admin who has been looking for work for 6 months unsuccessfully. You guys turn everything into this dont tread on muh linux, emotion based arguments. The reality is NO ONE IS HIRING HIM. That's the point of the thread. All I was saying was for him to add these simple cakewalk Microsoft skills to his tool kit and he would get a job in a week! It was never about what is better, what has a place, what doesnt, it was simply me, a guy who has sat in on about 50+ tech interviews at an MSP, telling this unemployed guy what would be the most effiecent thing to brush up on to get a job in the region he lives in.
Thats a Tee Shirt, almost as good as a C
OS TeeGot the offer letter today. Sign sealed and returned.
I have a buddy that's trying to break into the I.T. world and not having much luck. Does your guy know folks who needs a new i.t. guy whos ready to prove himself?
Don’t think so. I know cobalt programmers are in high demand I will ask.
Thanks!
Seems to be the general take on some of these new guys. They come across as arrogant self-centered.Also I just noticed that silly exchange above....
Lol wow.
Mr sea-world or what ever his name was is way off base. Also he may need to "go touch grass" as the kids say.
You can't come across that here unless you've been here a few rotations LOL
Congrats on the new job I remember when you posted what happened. Glad everything worked out!
Yep, I think the reception would have been much different if the tone of the response had been "hey, have you thought of seeing what type of admin positions are open in your area and then doing some training in that area". Heck, didn't even have to specify one OS over the other or anything like that. There are tons of job sites that you can look at for trends, or recruiters you can talk to that will let you know what is currently hot and hiring. That's good for getting a job right away that you can have to make ends meet while you search for a position you really want, or if you want to switch up what you do and are okay with that. For someone who really likes being a Linux admin and doesn't want to do anything else, that's the only role they're going to want. I was very lucky that when I moved from 16 years of IT support to InfoSec, I actually enjoyed my new role as much or more than I had enjoyed IT support. It's hard to work a job you don't like.
Oh yeah 100%. Over in the long gun forum there was a thread about clone MP5s.. some arrogant brand new guy comes in telling everybody who has a clone MP5 that they're all junk and that the only good ones are the ones made by H&K. He came across as a insufferable self-appointed prick.
He was bragging about all of his so-called H&K MP5 stuff, but oddly enough didn't post any evidence that he really had all that stuff even when questioned about it.
He disappeared after a few drive-by snotty posts.
I kind of wonder if some of these new guys that come in with attitude, ended up getting banned from other websites and came in here so they could show their ass
