There's a job opening at my company and I think I will apply. I'm kinda tired of dealing with all the politics in IT. NOC sounds like a very cushy job, and it actually pays more in my case, and it sounds like I may get lot of spare time to do training and career advancement. There is also shift work which actually sounds attractive for someone like me who is a single home owner. 4 on 3 off, I think is what it is. The thought of 3 day weekends after working 4 days sounds awesome. I realize after a 12 hour shift I probably won't be doing much when I get home, but if I work like say, 7 to 7, I'm sure it's not THAT bad. I get a couple hours, then go to bed at like 10 so I can get up at 6 and do it 3 more times, well actually 2 more, since the last day is my "Friday" so I don't actually have to go to bed early. Overall I think I would have way more time to myself.
Just wondering if anyone here works at a NOC, and how is it? I realize this may vary from workplace to workplace. This would be a NOC for an ISP as well as managed services. The same company I work at now, just another department.
