@coliver At a guess, 200ish
Edit: I know what you're thinking heheh. Problem is they're not owned by the company I work for - they're shared. To upgrade I'd need buy in (and $$$$) from all stake holders.
All of whom appear to be bankrupt
-
@scottalanmiller If this job was easy they would have hired someone else
Jokes aside, at least I've learned a lot

Wow... I didn't realize that, that is nuts. So you work for one company but share/support the network infrastructure with another?

@coliver yeah all PoE. Had my eye on some ubiquity stuff recently, but reality is it'll be next year at the earliest to get that done.
Ubiquity has some really nice stuff. I standardized on the new Netgear models (which work fantastically) prior to their release or I would have totally bought them.
-
Ubiquiti looks really good. Netgear is still what we use almost everywhere too.
-
I have not gotten to see those new Ubiquiti switches in action, has anyone had a chance to play with them?

Firing up the hot tub here right now. Perfect weather for it! First a classic movie and Chinese food (It's a Gilmore GIrls themed movie night) and then hot tub.

The company that was running my background check finally finished it and extended me an offer, which I signed and got back to them tonight!

Is this the networking work?

It's basically an MSP dedicated to nothing but Cisco. We have clients that I won't mention the names on here, as I'm not sure if I can, but let's just say major government entities. They also developed their own monitoring application similar to Spiceworks but it's only for Cisco devices. I've been told it's quite robust and good.
-
Cool, well good luck. Are you sticking with Staples part time too?

Yup. Schedule is gonna be Tues-Sat 7a-4p to start at ShoreGroup and I'm gonna work Staples on Mondays and in the evenings.
-
Starting pay at ShoreGroup is $10/hour for my position but assuming I get brought on after six months, I go up to $15/hour.
-
50%, that is quite an increase!
