Not to sound fukked up, but could you tell us what happened so we can learn? :lupe:
It's actually not as bad as I'm making it sound. I just went in under prepared. I should have done more work with arrays and maybe could have looked into some of Java's Collections classes. I tried to do an operation that a structure didn't support. My only saving grace was that they were generally able to follow my logic and what I intended to do. I'm not tripping though, I'm still collecting a paycheck.

Failed my sec+ back in april. Retaking it again this week coming up. Ima pass this time :stopitslime:

First time I took it one of my pbq wasnt event working :gucci:. I thought I was doing much worse but scored a 695 when a 750 is passing. Idk how close that was to passing :hubie:

My problem areas are creyptography and idenity/ access mgmt.

This exam is annoying. Having to remember the differences between RADIUS, Kerberos, LDAP. Also, the different types of EAP. Like FAST, TTLS, TLS and PEAP. What I had to study was that EAP-TLS requires server and client authenication while the rest only hace server side requirements.

Also, what is included wit Type I, II, III authenication .:francis:


2 coworkers who work on my contract passed. And are starting their secret clearance background checks. They just waiting for me to pass, so that pressure:sadcam:.

Man with my exp, Sec+ and a secret clearance Im not getting paid less than $60K.

Fixed. You're selling yourself way too short and even the $85k may be low, but I don't know for sure how many years experience you have.

Japanese deal fell through. Oh well, at least I made a easy consulting fee

Spoke to the SEC attorney - she wants to join the team but
I think she just wanted to finesse us back for the free consultation.

UK lawyer came off arrogant initially so I cut him short and set him straight.
Will be interviewing 2 FCA guys next week.


Had a call the other day with some MLM South African cac - dude started his forex pitch and I dipped :mjlol:

Interviewing for a new gig where the position would be 100% virtual with a good deal of travel.

I've worked from home time to time but not sure about 100% virtual....:patrice:

It might actually be a come up though. They'd comp me at DC prices but I could take that money to ATL or such....stack and then pivot.

If I could work from Nigeria with this position then I'll take it in a heart beat.
