Permanent IT Lead Roles

Conversations with the hr

00:56 Oh, do. Hello, so [Person 1], how are you today? Good, good, very good. I was keen on speaking with you. Yes, that's all right.
03:10 All right. All right. I'm right now, uh, a DevOps contractor, uh, that is working globally. and I work in different sectors from thin tech to telecommunications.
03:43 I live in [Location 1]. I work in companies like [Company 1] [Company 2] and I also work for companies like [Company 3].
03:53 Most of the time what I do in contract is I work as a lead to make sure that I do the DevOps transformation.
04:03 in my experience is mostly international. I did more than five plus contracts in the United States in Europe, I completed more than 10.
04:16 I live in the UK in [Location 2], so the most of the contracts that I have done are inside the UK.
04:24 I'm security eligible from time to I get security clear draws in the UK, and related to [Company 4], if I pronounce name correctly, I did work as a senior manager in X-Ancher, and I have the necessary experience to be able to manage teams in terms of DevOps.
04:49 I have a vast experience. It is much better for me to make sure that I share my experience with the teams and create the infrastructures, which I have done for various cloud vendors, like AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Platform.
05:29 I'm a release training engineer, meaning I lead the companies to do much shorter releases. One of the main issues in enterprises is I work with hundreds plus people in the company and one of the main problem is the release timeline if a company is if an enterprises releasing the software in two years
05:53 with 100 people versus releasing it in two months. So I create an assessment structure for companies, first of all, SS what they have, then create a framework for them.
06:05 So everybody can speak in the same language and do the implementation for them. My last [Company 3] contract evolved more than 10 plus teams, more than 5 plus decision makers in [Company 5].
06:20 So that was an international contract that I delivered with [Company 3]. I was a really strange engineer. The interesting part for myself is it is one of the most challenging things that I can do in an enterprise which is the most value for the customer though because at the end of today the customer
06:43 wants to have a secure environment where they can release the software in the past it was a bit different though 10 years ago the security was not there everybody wanted to release right now if everybody wants to release but they need to make sure that everything is secure because everybody has mobile
07:01 devices everybody is connected, so it's a different world, and it's a very different expectation right now. I have my own company, I'm running the company for the last eight years, and I get customers for the company, such as [Company 6] was one of the customers.
07:32 The only customer that I have is an American company called [Company 7], a San Francisco-based company. From time to time, I do create trainings for them.
07:41 I might create a training for them in the next two months. for a company in the US for a Zoom bank for four weeks but other than that I don't have an active customer right now though but I create courses I explain my experience to people especially for the people who are just entering the industry of
08:03 how they can do this DevSecOps. I focus on transforming my knowledge so I can help others do what I'm doing though so that is one of the what I do, then I don't have a customer.
08:15 Right now I don't have an active customer, but I'm always creating content to make sure that I'm in the field and also communicating with the market.
08:31 Now I'm looking for both of the both for a permanent role or a contract. I was lucky enough to be able to become one of the top contractors all over the globe, but that doesn't mean that the typhoon don't consider a permanent opportunity if there are stocks and options, which I had, I was at the level
08:54 63 in [Company 1], over six figures of income, eight years ago, so I will definitely consider a consider permanent roles as well.
09:14 I can start as soon as possible. Yes, I'm located in the UK. It is six figures plus the stocks and options.
09:43 Six figures is $100,000 or pounds and stocks and options is the company's extra benefits. That is the minimum starting point.
10:00 Alright, that still works out. Yes, that still works out. Alright, I'm interested in equity as well. In the last six years, I made around a million pounds in gross revenue as a DevOps contractor.
10:50 If I'm going to work as a DevOps lead or in any permanent troll, I also know the market though because I do get calls from recruiters.
11:02 So that is the base though. I expect to get a much higher, much higher offer, but that is the base.
11:09 I wouldn't be able to go down six figures. I have only got six figures. As I said, I was level 63 in [Company 1], which was 90,000 pounds, seven years ago.
11:23 Right now, I should be at level 65, which is much higher than the six figures. So, but I always use it as a baseline.
11:40 Yes, I will expect higher than 100k. Yes. The reason I'm seeing the 100k is most of the time, I wouldn't be employed or get a contract lower than 100k, it doesn't when people look at the CV, it really doesn't make sense for them to be able to pay.
12:14 Is it pounds or is it in American dollars? Pounds, yes, I will definitely consider it though. I did look at the board and I did try to understand about the curry, but what you guys are looking for.
12:41 Could you elaborate a little bit on the DevSecOps role for the lead? Yes, I did read the job description, but I would like to learn more about in a nutshell what you guys are doing.
13:09 [Company 4] and the role. All right. All right. So the expectation is there's going to be a office in London or there's an office and the ladies uh, required to be in the office or some of the days in the office but is uh, the structure there all right that's fine and i'm forty minutes away from land on i
15:47 will be able to come to the office as a from time to time all right that's fine of what is the next stage in the strong in this conversation yes Alright, so I will receive the test and I will complete it and make sure that you receive it back, and we are going to head the next stage with the, uh, with
17:07 the carry button, so alright, I got your point. Now I think this is it. I
