Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
FASA AndrewOkay, I've tried everything else, let's see what happens here. I'm a 56yo IT professional currently facing age discrimination in the job market. My skills are proven and broad. I can do operations, project management, service delivery; am versed in multiple OSs, monitoring systems, ticketing platforms. I'm a technical writer and published author. I'm willing to relocate pretty much anywhere for a job that pays enough to cover my mortgage. I need employment by Sept 30. CV on request. #job #dayjob
evilchili@FASA_Andrew_1879 AWS Glacier is a great team with deep senior talent (25 years in the biz, myself). if you're interested in hearing about it HMU!
Vertigo@FASA_Andrew_1879 The company I work for doesn't currently have any open reqs, but I know some should be coming down the line. Perhaps shoot me your resume or CV and I can submit it to HR before the next opening?
I've submitted descriptions for a DBA fluent with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and InfluxDB. I also put in a description for a combined system administrator and software engineer role as well.
Again, no guarantees, but just thought I'd pass this along.
Shy bunny@FASA_Andrew_1879 FWIW, my top two recommendations as far as sites to check (of course, some or all may well be familiar already):
- angel.co - AngelList is all employers-only, no recruiters, so you don't have that level of faff involved. It's all about startups, so the positions tend to cluster in the usual venues - NYC, Boston, the Bay Area, Seattle, London, Berlin, etc - but there are plenty elsewhere too.
- Hacker News' "Who is hiring?" threads, posted on the first weekday of each month. Again, all employers, often posted by the hiring managers themselves. July's is here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20325925
LinkedIn and the like are worth a check-in, but as they're so well known, positions there tend to receive huge numbers of applications, and seem much more prone to "evergreen" postings that never seem to actually get filled.
For the Bay specifically, Craigslist is still worthwhile - elsewhere, the offerings can be much more sparse.

@FASA_Andrew_1879 Just based on what you've posted you sound like you would be a good fit as a Technical Account Manager at pick a security software vendor any vendor, most are hurting for TAMs. The larger the org the better, as they tend to have a recruitment office, so the recruiters will try to fit you with anything they have open. Think Symantec, Mcafee, Palo Alto, those kind of places.
@seven hadn't heard of that position. Useful tip, thanks
Vote Green@FASA_Andrew_1879 @seven red hat, elastic, hp, datadog were also hiring TAMs, last I checked
Shelenn Ayres@FASA_Andrew_1879 Headhunter might be a good option for you.
Gina@FASA_Andrew_1879 man this sucks. Coming from the other side as a young person who's expected to have the experience of a 56yo IT professional, the job market is absolute bullshit. I hope you find something soon.
Jim@FASA_Andrew_1879 Best of luck to you in your search.

Mike@FASA_Andrew_1879
My employer, "Cirium, Inc" is hiring software engineer and I think sysadmins ("Site Reliability Engineer") in Alpharetta, GA and Portland, OR. I was hired back when they allowed remote work, but I don't think that's an option any more. :(

I'm putting it in the ears of those I believe are looking for such.
Thank you for whatever you did at FASA back in the day; I can't tell you how much Shadowrun changed my life, and -- I mean, I know, everybody there was doing some part of the work. Even if you weren't writing it, you were supporting it.
Thank you. ❤️ I hope one of these myopic and shortsighted orgs pulls their head out of their ass.
@sydneyfalk thank you for the support. For the record, I was a freelancer in the old days and did some minor work for Shadowrun, a good deal more for Earthdawn, and am now with the reassembled FASA as line developer of 1879.
Robert Sander@FASA_Andrew_1879 Berlin, Germany?
@gurubert of there's relocation money available, hell yes
@FASA_Andrew_1879 There are many job offerings available in our city, including the company I work for: https://heinlein-support.de/jobs
@FASA_Andrew_1879 good luck mate. I can’t help in any useful way apart from boosting, but, good luck dude. I’m 40, and honestly a bit scared about that phase of my career.
