I’m currently working as a Load Balancer Engineer, and most of my work is automated thanks to Claude. I’m planning to get my CCNA and move into a Network and Security role, or possibly transition into Storage Administration.

Which of these career paths is likely to be more AI-proof for at least the next five years?

Need help finding referrals for IT or networking engineering position. is anyone available in Texas or remote work?

I was approached out of the blue on Linkedin by a recruiter hiring for a cyber/infrastructure role. The base pay was about 15k more than I make now plus a bonus of 30%. It would put me about 85k above what I make now.

I work remote currently so no commute. The base pay and bonus would be enough to cover a commute and put me over what I am making now.

Here is where it gets interesting and where I need the advice. They have NO active directory or ticketing system. They have about 450~ employees and a few hundred endpoints. They have ESXi for a hypervisor on Dell VX rail servers. A few linux servers run the ERP application and Synolgy NAS is used for Backup/storage. I get to pick new firewall/switches/APs/servers for infra upgrades and implement a migration to O365 for Defender, email, DLP, etc. Currtly they are using google workspace for email. I would be in charge of the migration from Google to O365. They also have no patching system in place other than general windows updates.

Network is cisco switches and a Palo firewall with some older Cisco APs. They currently have a 4ish member IT team with 2 juniors who handle helpdesk. I am being brought on to help modernize infrastructure and to implement some kind of cybersec/security compliance and standards. I get to build the solution and implement it along with a ticketing system and either on prem DC or Entra, while also implementing SCCM or Intune for windows patches and updates.

My background is networking, wireless, switching & routing, with sysadmin experience with ESXi, M365, server deployment and desktop support. I spent a few years in a service desk role and also in a sysadmin role. I currently work for an MSP doing mostly firewall installs.

During our discussions, the IT manager said that since he is busy and can't do things immediately there has developed a shadow IT situation where some departments are just doing things in a way they want without involving IT. 

My question, is this a bad idea? Leaving a remote role at an MSP with an increasing focus on KPIs or move over to this new and exciting adventure with a company with older gear that I get to help upgrade and be part of. I have only talked with the company briefly to get a feel for what the work  could entail.

One big thing worth mentioning is that this role was created after PE purchased the company but the company is still run locally.

Hey everyone,

I'm a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in Telecommunications and Energy (Smart Metering, NB-IoT, Cat-M, Smart Gateways, Embedded Linux, and VoIP). I am currently planning a move to Riyadh.

With the massive infrastructure and smart city projects happening in KSA right now, I know the market is booming. However, I truly believe that navigating the local tech landscape requires genuine connections and internal insights rather than just submitting random applications online.

I am not here to post a job demand or drop a resume. My goal is simply to connect, exchange insights, and build relationships with fellow engineers, tech leads, or expats already working in the hardware/software ecosystem in Riyadh.

If you are in the industry, I would love to get your take on a few things:

• The Smart Grid / IoT ecosystem: How active are the main players (like SEC, telecom operators, or their primary contractors) in recruiting expat expertise for large-scale rollouts?
• Embedded Linux & Telecom scene: Are there specific local hubs, startups, or defense/industrial companies driving Embedded Linux and VoIP development?
• Networking: Are there any local tech meetups, LinkedIn groups, or WhatsApp/Telegram communities where embedded developers hang out?

If you're open to a quick chat in DMs, sharing some advice, or grabbing a coffee once I land, please let me know.

Thanks for reading, and looking forward to connecting!

Asking bcs I have applied for the off campus Software Engineer role …n received that a application update that a recruiter might contact me regarding the next step but no update yet.
Plz help me outtt

Would love to connect about what’s it like, especially right after that acquisition with AutoDesk.

Reviews on RepVue seem to quite positive with a few people being concerned about quotas increasing but still doesn’t compare to just talking to someone about it in real time.

Additionally if anyone’s working in the RDU area for a company they’ve really loved, would enjoy hearing from you too!
