damn breh.....27/hr? thats fukkin awesome..i have a lil more experience and not even fukkin with that...shyt thats how much they pay our networking guys. Where are you locate?I quit my job as a janitor and started interning in the IT department at a local hospital since October 2013 for 10.00 an hour, about 2 weeks ago I got offered and accepted the position of basically the same thing I was already doing but with benefits and Full Time pay 26.50 an hour. I want to finish school I only have my associates degree, and possibly get into a leadership position. We do a lot of projects and I have my hands in basically everything, but I know in a few months I will get tired/bored of this and need to do more. I'm interested in possibly being a project manager. Besides what I did at my house and for my friends, I had no prior business experience in IT just personal.
Brehs, I've been working on this pretty big software project recently. At the start, I was primarily coming up with my own methods for solving some problems the company is having, so I was pretty much doing my own thing and having them integrate the solutions.
Now, I'm working on a different part of the project which requires me to understand the inner workings of a large portion of their code, but I've been pretty much given zero direction on where I should actually begin on this shyt. I mean, there are literally thousands of lines of code that I have to look through. There is no documentation that I know of to help me out either. Any of you brehs been in this situation and have some advice to offer? This is an internship btw

i been reading this whole thread and props to everybody who contributing in this and doing their thing in IT
here's my situation, just looking for a little insight on what i can expect:
i got a bachelor's in it/computer science (completed last year), i'm going to be starting a front end web developer/ programmer analyst training as of august 4th (i tested and was awarded a paid scholarship for it). i did some testing for my aptitude and i scored in the upper 10 percentile for it. it's a pretty detailed and will run up into the middle of december. we are gonna be in training Monday through friday from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
the training also will include insurance fundamentals and general insurance for IT support- once it's completed, we test and complete a certification for an AINS 24 General Insurance for IT and Support Professionals exam. we will also be trained in a programming language- C#
After all the training we hopefully should get an opportunity to work a paid internship with a local company for 8 weeks, to prove if we are a fit for the company.
i understand all the work that's ahead of me but i'm just wondering with all the training, does it put me in a good place for the future and will companies still downplay me- once i'm done with the training. just wanna know the chances i have. either way i'm gon grind it out- we just did an interview and an exercise for web designing and i actually enjoyed it so i'm looking forward to it
thanks in advance for any advice or feedback
Damn I need to go on a sabbatical. January 1, I'm quitting my job and taking like 6 months off. I'm stressed as fukk mayne
I be just wanting to stay, home, smoke weed, and drink all day. Is that so wrong
Seems kind of scammy hopefully you didnt pay too much, what can these guys really teach you that school/independent study couldnt? Get in touvh with people who completed the program( if you dont know any ask the people who run the program, if they cant/wont connect you to alumni thats a big red flag)
Ask more about the 8 week internship, hopefully its not a bullshyt agreement in which they get an endless supply of cheap labor and no one gets a real job - I know such arrangements unfortunately exist. Looks like youll be specialized to the insurance industry so start networking there now.
definitely appreciate your input- the training is actually paid for- nothing is coming out of my pocket ( i was awarded a scholarship that covers books and tuition) and it's at a local college here in Columbia, SC called MIdlands Tech- i definitely will start reading up on the insurance industry and how it works with IT. i'm definitely gonna stay on point regarding the internship- i worked one last year and it was basically cheap labor (only did it for 2 months).
Oh thats very good then! If its through a school that should be valuable to do. How did your undergrad go academically? After looking at their website for a few minutes it looks like they partner pretty heavily with local businesses.
Looks like they have job fairs and interview prep too. Im a student now and go to career services like once a week at least, milk every resource that place has. Looks like youre in a good position. If you have the time do some projects or get some certs when you have free time to stand out from the rest of the class.
