Question I had a phone screen with general dynamics about 3 weeks ago, they gave me an offer letter but it is contingent upon a 2nd interview with the client.. At this point I'm not sure how I should go about this, I really want to take this job but they are taking forever to do the second interview.
Should I wait it out or should I continue looking for something else? And what happens if I find something else and is scheduled to start then GD finally sets up the interview?


right after I posted this they set up the interview

Breh, You live in the DMV theres a shytload of a Jobs here.

ArrayList<Breh> brehList= new ArrayList<Breh>();

brehList.addAll();

for (Breh brehs: brehList)
{

brehs.haveLowSelfEsteem();​

}

Oh shyt..IT disses

On another note..i love coding. I find it to be a very enjoyable puzzle (most of the time). Currently doing an easy Java project for school..
Anybody else code on the regular and have some projects they would like to collaborate on? I don't know anybody else that codes...

Has anyone here worked abroad ?

I am thinking of working in Dubai or Qatar, get that tax free money


I am told from other contractors that being from England companies in those areas pay you more, dunno if true. Its always a case of "oh my friend is doing that" or "oh my friend of a friend has done that" so most of time I take what they say with a pinch of salt.

My assumption is that they could prob hire someone from India and just pay them a lot less than they would for a Westerner, again I dont know.

I am in IT Infra, so lot of AD, Exchange type work, so I dont know if that is even in demand over there.

Done a few seacrhes on various IT Contracting forums, but most is quite old info.

Thanks in advance.

Alot of migration roles out here ATM, no idea why these companies leave it so late to move from XP to 7

Also I am seeing many VM roles come up, alot of companies wanting to move to VDI's etc, so that will be my next step to get some VMware certs

that brings back a memory..back in the summer of 2006 I applied for a position that mentioned unix as a skill that would be useful for the position but not required..i had rudimentary knowledge of it so I was like fukk it if its not required...went to the interview and dude after about 10 mins started throwing unix questions at me...I was throughout the rest of the interview...needless to say I didn't get the job...it was also the first and last time I ever went to an interview and failed to show and prove my skills...lesson learned

Okay brehs anybody got some insight on the dfw area job market or hookups? For right now I'm just trying to find a help desk gig or something entry level until I can get my certs up. My first "official" IT job has been the gig im at that I've been working for the past yr and a half. I've put on my application but I've mainly had short term contract work without benefits. Any tips?

I'm finally starting to understand how Javascript's prototypical inheritance works. It took long enough...

For the brehs that have a computer science(or anything related) degree, where did you work during school?

during undergrad I worked one of the campus labs as an asst. lab manager; during grad school I worked only during summers at an internship until my last semester where I got a help desk position working part time
