No idea if those skills would be transferable. I was on the small to mid sized biz side. Never worked for a provider or anything. Mainly managing, installing and configuring systems.

Once you understand the basics of telephony it’s pretty easy. It’s getting more complex now since it’s all ip/sip based but because that’s a skill that is lacking because everyone who does know that wants to be a network or security guy, not the phone guy/gal.

If you are working it now. Figure out who’s doing your phones and express interest in learning. It’s how everyone I know got into it.

You don’t need to work with the big guys.

Small businesses, managed service, utilities, hospitals all need telecom guys. Ive been out of telecom for years and I still have recruiters occasionally reaching out to me.

If you really want IT. Then telecom

Most people in telecom are old and are analog phone people, they don’t know ip/sip and don’t want to learn.

It’s basically a small networking job that you never get calls on nights and weekends about and if you do it’s a system you can reboot remotely. If it’s not the system it’s a switch and its someone else’s job.

Telecom isn’t sexy but it’s still needed, no one’s going into it as it’s not ‘sexy’ and to be honest it’s easy AF.

Got a link that sounds hilarious

Can I use it to find like minded individuals?

My algo shows me nonstop car break ins in the Bay area ( for some reason or another) and they have gloves and it’s amazing how quick they shatter.

I watched in on a plane and didn’t have the audio issue I’ve heard everyone talk about.

I did however have the issue of not understanding the flick.

Funnily enough McDonald’s outside the airport walls is getting very close to the ones within the walls.

So would this be a good alternative to Synology photos?

They should really explain what it is for those of us that don’t know

I will also attach old emails rather than repeat myself.
