Look into certifications for salesforce or whatever sales platform you’ve been using. Salesforce is just a popular one. You could try and swing a salesforce analyst position, which can get you close to developer. The end user and sales knowledge, combined with your degree can be worded on your resume in a way your role seemed more technical giving you a Segway in without starting from the ground up, like with an A+.

Don’t abandon all that experience altogether, just get on a different end of it.

Just now seeing this brother! Good looking out!

Last girl I dated was right, I am always in survival mode :wow:. Knowing how fukkd corporate America can be has kept me in my toes. Think I got ptsd from my last job seeing people put in 15 years at a company, only to be let go with no options because they weren't working on anything that's transferrable. Always, always do jobs with transferrable skills no matter what you are getting paid.

Some of the dudes that started IT at the same time as me now make about 30K less. Because they chose to stay in the same job working on the same technology. Now their stuck in these jobs and can't move.
:wow:

It's amazing how companies typecast IT pros and just throw people in the bushes once their skills get outdated.

Fujifilm Created a Magnetic Tape That Can Store 580 Terabytes

Fujifilm Created a Magnetic Tape That Can Store 580 Terabytes

Fujifilm has announced that it has set a new world record by creating a magnetic storage tape that can store a staggering 580 terabytes of data.

The breakthrough, developed jointly with IBM Research, uses a new magnetic particle called Strontium Ferrite (SrFe), commonly used as a raw material for making motor magnets. Fujifilm has been investigating Strontium Ferrite as a possible successor to Barium Ferrite (BaFe), which is the leading material today.

The structure of magnetic tape.
SrFe has been found to have higher magnetic characteristics and 60% less particle volume than BaFe. And like BaFe, SrFe is a chemically stable oxide, meaning it should perform well for long-term data preservation.

“SrFe is a magnetic material that has very high magnetic properties and is stable to maintain high performance even when processed into fine particles,” Fujifilm says. “Magnetic tapes used in this test have been produced at the company’s existing coating facility, confirming the ability to support mass production and commercialization.”

Data on the tape is stored at a record-breaking density of 317 gigabytes per square inch thanks to new technologies developed by IBM, including a new low friction tape head technology and the actuators and servos behind it. The head’s speed and accuracy are remarkable.

“Just let me geek out for a second,” writes IBM research manager Mark Lantz. “When tape is being read it is streamed over the head at a speed of about 15 km/h and with our new servo technologies we are still able to position the tape head with an accuracy that is about 1.5 times the width of a DNA molecule.”

The resulting data storage capacity of the new tapes is roughly 50 times greater than the current cartridges on the market today.

To put 580 terabytes in perspective, it’s roughly the equivalent of 120,000 DVDs or 786,977 CDs — IBM notes that stacking that many CDs would result in a tower 3,097 feet (944m) tall, or taller than Burj Kalifa, the world’s tallest building.

All that data can now fit in a tape cartridge in the palm of your hand.

“In terms of costs, storing data on tape is pennies per gigabyte and when not in use, tape requires no energy unlike hard disks and flash,” IBM writes. “Put simply, tape-stored data ensures that cloud providers will have the data they need when they need it.

“In addition, when stored properly, data recorded on tape today will still be readable in 30 years.”

Let me credit utilization go from 7% to 30% and dropped 30 points on 2 of my scores. Already paid that down to 0 but I'll have to remember to keep it at 0 through the next period so when I refinance this car I'm close or beyond 800s.

Today was the first time in my life I've ever had to tell a team I'm moving on. Basically a late Merry Christmas, happy new year,

It wasn't satisfying because I like the people (most of them), but the work wasn't making me happy anymore. But they have me for a short while longer so I told them I'd try and document the knowledge gaps. All that said though, the next move needs to be up and out of this company. I need to get paid and I need to work on something interesting. Also need something that I could potentially pick up and live internationally if necessary.

I think @Serious posted this idiot a couple months ago.
Just :pachaha: @ over $200,000 worth of debt that's consistently compounding
and royally wrecking her networth.
It’s not even her career choice it’s the fact that she wants to live for now when debt doesn’t work like that
