Hi,
I just got a M8 Pro for my mom and every time a button is pressed it's name or symbol shows in the bottom right corner. I can't find a way to turn this off. Does anyone know?
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some perspective from people already working in the data center space, especially those in controls/automation.
I have about 5 years of experience:
- 3 years across food industry and oil & gas (controls/automation roles)
- 2 years in data centers (BMS/EPMS, control systems, etc.)
I’ve recently received an offer for a Critical Infrastructure Control Systems Engineer role at a hyperscaler with much better compensation. From what I understand, the role is more on the operations/reliability side (monitoring, troubleshooting, maintaining systems) rather than pure design.
My long-term goal is to move toward design/architecture, ideally becoming a design manager or solutions architect focused on control and automation systems in data centers.
My concern is:
- If I take this role, will I end up getting “stuck” in operations?
- Does this kind of position make it harder to transition into design roles later?
- Or is this actually valuable experience that strengthens a future move into architecture (by understanding real-world failures, operations, etc.)?
For those who’ve made a similar move:
- Were you able to transition from ops-heavy roles into design?
- What did you do to avoid getting pigeonholed?
- Are there specific things I should push for (projects, exposure, responsibilities) to keep a path open toward design?
I’d appreciate any honest advice, especially from people who’ve navigated this in hyperscale environments.
Thanks in advance.
