How are your clients rebranding their Network Operations? I heard Site Reliability Engineer, but isn't that only if you can move infrastructure to third party vendors? How about for those that cannot move?

Most of my clients make no changes whatsoever and just change the name of the ops team to "DevOps" or "SRE".

Are you talking about retraining folks into a more modern skillset, or just a team name change with new titles and the same set of responsibilities?

I would advise them to leave it the same unless they want to reskill. SRE has a pretty specific definition, and handing out titles to people that they don't deserve can actually make it harder for them to get a new job elsewhere, in addition to turning off candidates who know better.

If they must rename, keep it within the same realm. Technical Operations, Network Engineering, Infrastructure Operations, etc.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
