Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I wish I had this handy guide like three or four years ago. I switched to an employer where I did not enjoy my time there. They bait/switched the position (I applied through a friend to his department, NOC, and instead was interviewed for MSP services (tier 2, but it's not what I was looking to get into), the interview was short, maybe 20 minutes, and one of the attendees, which I later found out was one of the owners, was driving at the time. Not just in their car, and not just being driven around, he was literally driving a vehicle at the time.
I got an offer after that one interview, and within about a year I started to see all the long-term talent walk out the door. I was basically forced to find a new job and I'm much happier for it. The new place did three rounds of interviews, has a decent (not perfect) health insurance package, and the owners of the company are friendly and understanding about everything I've brought to them. This new position is easily shaping up to be one of the best jobs I've had so far in my career.
I do IT support by the way. Usually escalation level positions.
I will say that the median salary for my career in my area, is quite pitiful relative to the overall industry. The current employer is well above the local area median, but a far cry from the industry average.
This is why the industry is so against remote working even though it's obviously one of the easiest jobs to do remotely. It's so they can get away with pain crap wages simply because it's "the local standard".
