This is the link I used to get caught up to speed when I first started leaning PS
Windows PowerShell Tutorial - Introduction Microsoft's new scripting language
The most important thing is to just use it everyday. Instead of doing a task in the GUI, do it in PS instead. About a month or two you should be proficient enough to get some basic automation tasks done.

Just got my first offer for Help Desk. No more warehouse job brehs. No more slavin away 12 hour shifts for 8.75 an hour brehs.
Congrats breh, but in 6-12 months you're gonna be wishing you had that warehouse job back
Just some advice from an old nikka, don't stay at your first gig for more than 18 months. The hardest part is getting the first job, the 2nd hardest part is getting out of help desk.
Learn everything you can at this gig, figure out where in IT you want to be, then start studying for the certs that will make you the most money. Your next goal should be to specialize in something and try to get to the top of your field
There's a lot of bread in IT, but NONE of it is in helpdesk.

Yeah it's a year long contract with a big law firm in my city. shyt can be stressful at times cause some of the more successful lawyers there get pushy if you don't fix their problems within 10 minutes.

Yep, I can leave early if I get job offer after 3 months though. Have to put in at least 90 days on the contract.

Went on an interview yesterday, it went well but the IT director seemed kind of spacey, the facilities aren't nearly as nice as my current environment and I probably won't be learning much and adding 45 minutes to my daily commute. However it'd be a $15-25k raise from my current base, not having to be on call 24/7, and jeans + sneakers everyday. Would y'all leave your current job and get this money or wait for better opportunities?
One of my old bosses that got laid off from one of my previous employers is in his final rounds of interviews at Facebook.
That guy wanted me on his team back in the day when I was just a support tech. He was one of the guys that got me into cloud storage operations and gave me a chance
. I hope he gets the job.
He also may be a plug for me in the future

If I leave earlier than the 3 months I just pay the sub contractor a $200 fee. That's really the only shytty thing about the job. Gotta go through a damn contractor to get to the damn contractor smh.
