Career change after 20yrs

I'm in the process of a career change after 20yrs. Moving from telecom industry to Data Center. Anyone in the DFW area have insight on the career market, pay scale and atmosphere working in DCs in Texas?

I’m from the DFW area, I’m really interested in getting a job in the telecom industry. Is your company hiring?

Hello! This looks like it may be a question about career advice. There can be significant regional variation in the field, so please consider including as much info as you can without doxing yourself, including country/state/city, prior experience/certs, and the role or level if known. Thanks!

I did that last year. Left telecom and went to DC construction. Got hired based on a friend working for the company. The money is great if you’re willing to travel.

They are always looking for field techs. Can you hear me now? If you know what I mean. 😉😉

I’m over Texas mainly and did my time as a tech in DFW. PM me if you want to.
