Thanks!

Sounds interesting. Brains not braining well on a Saturday what’s an AS? Associate Degree?

I think that’s an idea that I might have to seriously consider. I loved building out my own, and it’s an area I have some general expertise in. Thanks!

I’ve been on both sides and to this day am still a technical escalation point for some products even as a director. I’ll take a look at both that you suggested though. I kind of have a love/hate with project managers so not sure I could look myself in the mirror for that one. :)

I appreciate you sharing thoughts and ideas.

Appreciate the additional details, that gives me some place to start with additional research.

Probably not far from what you ran into. I’m 12 years into it and just losing my mind. I have an absolutely amazing boss and teams and managers under me that I mostly adore, but it’s just taking a toll mentally it seems.

Not sure if it’s the endless MVP products that never get touched again, the broken releases or just the bottom falling out of the tech industry but I’m just spent and have been so for a while.

How was your transition to infrastructure management? Did you have previous experience in that?

Mid-30’s working for a tech company as middle level leadership for the support department and need to find something new. Trades are certainly a consideration, especially having a family member or two that have gone down that path.

Honestly if heights aren’t an issue could be a great job.

I thought it was the opposite with them?

I’ve considered trades even with it being a full 180 from what I do now. Seems like location can vastly vary the experience. Build the base and bones of what society runs off of seems interesting though.

This is a great post. I don’t personally need it but I love to see these sorts of teaching/sharing posts especially when companies make these sorts of decisions.

Thanks, Gluetun looks like it’ll do the trick. Appreciate the help!

Thanks I’ll take a look at Gluetun.
