Looking for referrals to well operating SRE teams that aren’t just a rename for sysadmin. Big fan of Golang and Python.

Fairly happy at AWS and haven’t experienced the horror stories but feel like my only way up in TC is to get out.

      Oh they definitely are but I guess what I’m saying is the recruiter I get passed on to may not give a crap or view me as a “fit” (even though recruiter #1 said I am) so my resume could end up in the trash.
      If @masonite has any contact with a hiring manager or if Google referral’s get priority screening then that’s probably a better route for me.

      That’s also on the table but from what I’ve heard customer facing orgs is the best culture here and internal is more cut throat on average. If I can find a good team then hell yeah.

      Nah I’m customer facing in an org that is basically consulting and pre-sales. We either help reel in legacy dumper fires or act as SME’s for bleeding edge customers and greenfield apps.
      Am also considering some internal sys dev roles but was worried I’d start experiencing more of the bad you hear about.

      That said I have experience in both SRE with a focus on systems as well as appdev.
