One of my professors told us about Hadoop last year and that it would be in our best interest to get into it.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Yup. http://news.dice.com/2012/02/16/outsourcing-declines/

I think Dell brought alot of their support positions back because customers couldn't understand the technicians from India. ( I myself had a terrible experience ..lol)

( The below article, I kind of figured this was happening because some of our consultants from India are charging $$$$$$ out the ass )

""Many organizations have been beefing up their internal organizations for several years now after outsourcing a good piece of their IT work," says Phil Fersht, founder of outsourcing analyst firm HfS Research. "In many cases, IT departments have moved out too much work that requires closer interaction with the business and an understanding of the organization's institutional processes. Many have had to feel their way in learning what balance of in-house [versus] outsourced works for them."


Hacking/cracking has always been around ( still remember the days of watching teenagers trade user/passwords around in IRC chat like pokemon cards ) only difference now is companies are being forced to step up their security. I think Home depot just lost $60 Million due to a breach. no way in hell are those positions going to be outsourced to another country. Companies are losing too much money being shamed on the news/ reissuing credit cards, contacting customers etc. way way to much to risk now.

We've been trying for over 5 years now to follow a model call " Follow the sun", where we develop code during the day and offshore pickup the workload at night. It doesn't work and those exact words came out of our CIO's mouth.


Edit: How could I forgot, the work I'm doing now. Was originally outsourced, management wasn't happy and decided to create a new department and have internal resources handle it.

Man when i got to ATL and at this company saw they had a whole Indian offshore tema that was doing QA and dev work overnight...I was like

The fukk yall doing????

Here is a paper describing what Hadoop is and how it works for those not just interested in the big paycheck: http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~mrobi002/teaching/YahooHadoopPaper.pdf

Getting my BS next month so I need to start gaining knowledge/experience on these next level technologies.

 

[WeDemBoyz]

[WeDemBoyz]

Share with your brethren any study materials you may encounter, breh.

Peep this thread breh. Read it then read it again.

We keep trying to tell y'all nikkas bout this IT shyt but y'all not listening. Here's a link to a Hadoop dev job:

http://www.allstate.jobs/ShowJob/Id/326044/Hadoop Developer

Peep the qualifications and pay attention to the bolded:

• Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science or equivalent experience
• 2-3 years of solid Hadoop experience
• Familiar with Hadoop tools/languages such as Python, Pig, Hive, Hadoop Streaming, Sqoop, Oozie, etc
• Solid understanding of MapReduce and how the Hadoop Distributed File System work
• Good written and verbal skills
• Understanding of other ETL tools (Ab Initio/Informatica/Talend) is beneficial
• Understanding of Hadoop Infrastructure is preferable but not required
• Hands-on experience with related/complementary open source software platforms and languages (e.g. Java, Linux, Apache, Perl/Python/PHP, Chef, Puppet)
• Understanding of Relational Databases (RDBMS), SQL & No-SQL databases

You don't NEED a degree, just at least 4 years of experience in IT and you only need 2-3 years of Hadoop experience. Let that sink in breh. In less than 4 years you can be making 140k/yr. No degree required. That's why I try to be so public about how much I make and the fact I'm a college dropout. You can eat like a damn mad man in IT if you just stay on your hustle. How many nikkas you know with just a HS diploma can say they made 200k/yr

Wow good thing im starting young. I been peeped that IT Game.


What is your recommended path? helpdesk - network/system admin - ??? - hadoop


Would a major in IT info systems be unnecessary or will it help on my path? Which certs are game changing?
