Transitioning Military Officer: MSCS UW-Madison or MS IT Management/MBA UW-Milwaukee?
I am a junior military officer with 5 years of leadership experience currently making the transition from the military to the civilian IT worlds, and I was hoping for some advice from those in the industry. I have a BS CS/IT (dual major) from a US Service Academy, but I have had very limited technical experience over the… -
Project Manager vs. Operations Manager
Hello all, I've been fortunate enough to be offered two different promotions, both from the same employing entity (I work for my local government). Should start by saying both positions pay exactly the same, but are totally different lines of work. As a Project Manager, I'd be coordinating large/complex rollouts across 6… -
Re: What kind of jobs can I get with a Bachelors of IT and Administrative management?
Eagle scout wont really mean much, unless you're gunning for a job that has a requirement for "eagle scout experience". I didn't mean that in a facetious manner. When it comes to resumes, always put relevant and pertinent job info on there. As far as your goals for Management, an MBA or Master's really cannot hurt at all.… -
Re: Network engineer : CCNP or Masters in IT/or Computer Science (Next move?)
Basically, yes it will act as a check in the block, but without it... you will be limited in some form. I'm working certs and college at the same time. Hammer80, your statement is confusing... but anyways, having an MBA along with the certs and management certs create a whole 360 perspective. Yes, even with losing value… -
Re: Masters Degree or Certifications
The short answer to your question is you should do Both plus more. To market yourself well you will need great experience, interview skills, resume writing skills, certifications, and a Masters degree. 15 years ago in 2000, there was only 15-16% who had a bachelors degree. Now, over 33% of people 25+ have bachelors degrees… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
CISSP-ISSAP is a solid option. If you're not currently implementing cloud solutions, you could do some of the specialty cloud security certifications to round yourself out and open up opportunities. I'm a few steps behind you on the same path. Most of the value of security architecture is from hands on experience with a… -
Re: Is CCIE certification will loose its importance because of SDN?
I totally agree with networker050184. In my opinion, if you are working for medium-large enterprise, you should stuck with skills that benefits your position to market yourself for promotion or for higher position in another employer. Therefore, one day you need to move to management position -after you have spent couple… -
Re: Have an IT degree? Want to continue school? What next?
International relations with a foreign language. My friend worked for AT&T 13 years as a PM never made more than 85K. Around the year 6 mark in this 13 year run he started back with Spanish and Portuguese. When year 13 hit he started looking for a new job, one where he could use his Spanish and Portuguese. He finally… -
Re: Server+/Security+ before MCSE?
I totally disagree. The Server+ is a very good exam to take before taking the Microsoft server exams. The Server+ exam contains material about general network administration that is either NOT on the Microsoft exam or is not clearly covered. The Microsoft exams focus on Windows 2000/2003 and not on general network… -
Re: What jobs can I get with a Management Information Systems degree?
I spoke with someone recentley who is a CSO ($$) and earned his BS in MIS. Stressed the importance of a BS and how useful it can be down the road, especially in his case, which is security. I didn't really have the chance to speak on HOW this person got his foot in the door right out of school, but he is young (<40).…
