Bump.

This is the problem with the IT industry. There are few if any that can do all this stuff. Contact me if you need a good hardware guy with 39 years of experience.

If you've been around software for a long time, those requirements are actually old hat. Well, except for Sharepoint - and its just, well..., ..., its Sharepoint...

Seems to be a little bit of an eclectic mix, but I suppose most shops are that way now-a-days. Perl mixed with ASP.net MVC and IIS websites...

I have a feeling Chef, Puppet, and/or Ansible are thrown around there also...

Next thing you'll post is OpenVMS experience is a plus...

Edit: DevOps is probably a key-word also...

The majority of my clients are large industrial/process engineering/lab/petrochemical facilities, which are rather slow to embrace "new" technology. Think VB6 and Visual Foxpro, lol. As a result, we end up supporting a variety of legacy systems that by all rights should no longer exist.

You should see what I had in AA County when I oversaw Central Records. Old mainframe Unix systems from the 70's somehow miraculously linked to DOS based systems from the 80's. And having to pay engineers who had been retired for years consultant prices to come in and fix problems. The only Windows we had were the ones we could look out of to ponder what it must be like to have systems designed in the last decade.

I really need to do some certs. I have a Masters in IT Management but the last time I went job surfing I got almost zero bites.

I am still writing COBOL and loving it. Mainframes have become the biggest and fattest servers for Java Apps you could ever imagine. feed vsam and DB2 data to pretty front end in PC languages, but someone still has to support the batch mainframe and the feeds. Tough for a server application to update 800 billion dollars worth of accounts overnight. Mainframe does it in 6 hours!

COBOL programmers never go hungry and they never die - they just "move to" some place else...

Sorry for the thread-jack...

It's been many years for me but I would laugh at the job postings for xx years of experience in a specific language or technology and that technology had only been in existence for a few years. This is what happens when HR writes the job requirements.
