Also they are hiring for the infrastructure support groups right now. I have had 3 interviews (1 manager, 2 technical) for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (Linux specialized), with my experience pay is at least mid 90’s. They also had A storage/backup engineer opening they asked me about, but it was more backups which I say hell no. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk ---

Not sure if I ever posted in here, I repair surgical instruments for hospitals all over NY. Our company was taking over the north east pretty well, then we were bought out by a much larger company. We’ve now combined with a a few other companies and are now the largest repair company world wide. I enjoy it but with the buying of new companies there are a bunch of higher ups that are trying to prove they are needed so things have been a bit shitty. But once things sort out should go back to being a good gig. I have my own personal shop that was build for me that I havent been able to use yet due to losing some people and having to take over training the 4 new hires we have. ---
