No idea if those skills would be transferable. I was on the small to mid sized biz side. Never worked for a provider or anything. Mainly managing, installing and configuring systems.

Once you understand the basics of telephony it’s pretty easy. It’s getting more complex now since it’s all ip/sip based but because that’s a skill that is lacking because everyone who does know that wants to be a network or security guy, not the phone guy/gal.

If you are working it now. Figure out who’s doing your phones and express interest in learning. It’s how everyone I know got into it.

You don’t need to work with the big guys.

Small businesses, managed service, utilities, hospitals all need telecom guys. Ive been out of telecom for years and I still have recruiters occasionally reaching out to me.

If you really want IT. Then telecom

Most people in telecom are old and are analog phone people, they don’t know ip/sip and don’t want to learn.

It’s basically a small networking job that you never get calls on nights and weekends about and if you do it’s a system you can reboot remotely. If it’s not the system it’s a switch and its someone else’s job.

Telecom isn’t sexy but it’s still needed, no one’s going into it as it’s not ‘sexy’ and to be honest it’s easy AF.

My algo shows me nonstop car break ins in the Bay area ( for some reason or another) and they have gloves and it’s amazing how quick they shatter.

So would this be a good alternative to Synology photos?

Because lethal company is a much more fun game than anything the big guys are putting out and it only costs 10 bucks

I wasnt at the time but twenty minutes later, sure

Eight grams off? That seems rather significant. I mean we use to buy 20 grams of weed we’d know if it was almost half shy.

I was hoping for the same thing

That still seems like an insane amount of power for one transaction.

Eh, you can quickly create a new division/bureau/area and hire for the new roll and when it doesn’t work out you can fire easily. That ain’t possible within government where everything is governed by statue or rule

Having worked on both sides. Private industry has the ability to quickly maneuver and change tact.

Imo

They should really explain what it is for those of us that don’t know

Yeah housing gains do nothing for you if you want to stay in the same area.

Theoretically you’ll have more equity so you can take out loans, but with high interest rates you’ll likely avoid that… and your property taxes will eventually go up since your home value has gone up.

Hate the fact that my house has gained so much.

Things like this make me glad I can only query my db.

This book gets a lot of shit, probably deservedly so, but I enjoyed the story, but skip over the monologue.

Given your online demeanor I feel like you probably fit in well, and I’m guessing the locals love you.

Enjoy being part of the problem but not realizing it.

I mean in my neck of the woods the issue is less landlords driving up the price as it is influx of California s selling 1000 sqft homes in California for 1 million and being able to pay cash for any affordable house here because we don’t have a supply… again see my other reason for not having supply

Yes. That’s why record number of people are moving to Idaho/Montana and Texas… because they are so undesirable.

You do realize it’s possible that it’s more than one thing that is contributing to the cost of housing, right? … and not just landlords, despite what lemmy keeps telling everyone.

I’m not saying slums… but look around the United States and see what states are monumentally cheaper to build in. Hint. It’s not blue states.

And I say that as a progressive in minnesota.
