Haha, yeah I'll be put on projects for customers, implementing solutions...I know it sounds quite vague and that's because it is...could be an upgrade of servers to a new OS or replacing existing ones with new one ones, exchange migration, completely new network infrastructure, etc...But basically implementing services that HP offer. I'm still on my induction atm..so I'll have a better idea in a month when I'm actually put on my 1st project.

"Technology Consultant" will end up being "Guy who reads from CRM database and makes cold calls to tech companies and try to get their IT Directors/Tech buyers on the lines in an effort to sell them hardware/solutions"

Which I hope isn't the case for you...

Congrats man. Sounds like a damn good start right out of school, and at the very least will look good on your resume. However I imagine HP is probably a company you would want to stick around in for awhile. Probably plenty of opportunities to move in to once you get a few years under your belt.

Watch out, I've got a few friends that work for HP and have for the past 10+ years and they are constantly threatening random employees with being laid off even ones that have hired recently. Not trying to ruin your special moment but they are not exactly a stable company to be working for at the current moment.

Yeah obviously there was the 27000ish employee layoff the other month, but apparently our department is and has been growing for many years and show no sign of stopping. Plus we're fairly cheap to charge to a customer (making our work cost less than competitors), willing to learn and quite flexible...so we should be OK.

Congratulations! :happy: Do you have any time to relax, after your 4 years of hard work, before you start your new position?

Yeah finished Uni in May (on star wars day!) and I started Tuesday just gone so had a few months to relax and enjoy my last months of freedom lol.

    • NVIDIA AI Trained Itself on a 30B Model: Corrected Its Own Broken Metric Mid-Run

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By naap51stang · Posted

      If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.

      Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
