I was an IT manager for a decade and it was much easier for me to keep my finger on the pulse of remote employees than in-person. It's not rocket science.

I'm a week late to replying to your comment, but yes! We call them "hot dogs" in my area - people who pretend like they know everything. That's just setting yourself up for failure. Escalation paths exist for a reason.

I feel this. It's kind of addicting to chase a bigger paycheck. I actually talk about it a lot in therapy and it's been helpful.

Yes, I was agreeing with you. That was the point of my reply.

I'm a senior-most IT engineer for a major company and most of my job is still Googling. The rest is learn.microsoft.com.

Crawl -> Walk -> Run.

We're in the crawl phase. Let's leverage less-harmful technology to reduce our impact on the environment while simultaneously investing in ideal solutions like public transportion and walkable/bikeable cities. It will be a slow transition and we need to embrace every step in the process.

Thank you for mentioning smell. People underestimate how important smell is in in-person interviews. You want to be clean but not overpowering.

I was an IT help desk manager for 10 years. Your attire is perfect, and it's a good sign that you're concerned about looking professional.

Here's a pro tip - In your interview you will almost certainly be asked how you'd solve an issue that you have no idea how to approach. What they're looking for is how you'll respond emotionally. The correct answer is to assure the end user that you will find a solution, don't panic, and then check internal documentation. "Have we run into this before?" Insist that the company should never have to solve the same issue twice because documentation is paramount. Never be afraid to say that you'd escalate the issue but KEEP OWNERSHIP. Ownership is huge to these people.

I'd be glad to go into more detail about what they'll be looking for if it will be helpful.

I won't wish you good luck because you've already got this!

I would assume that the subscription they found is similar to existing subscription models for enterprise like E5, which includes Windows 11. I doubt this will get to the consumer level.

76 million Americans still have cable TV so I guess so

Agreed. The pacing was just strange. I have a feeling that it will eventually be one of those movies that people always see on TV late at night.

That's absolutely the Samsung Fold. I'm using one and it fits my front screen perfectly.
