I was a jr BA. BA titles sometimes vary by company though like solutions analyst or something.
I applied for a job and got an email about moving forward with my application. In the email, they asked me about salary. I said 46k-54k. They indicated that the max salary was 45k and asked me if I was still interested. I said I was. That was days ago. I think I blew it.
I went a little high with the salary because the job ad indicated that there'd be only one tech on-site.

I would recommend in-house first. One you are going to be a Jr programmer and need experience. Unless it's a temp to hire position( or you are coming out of say MIT), consultants positions are usually more reserved for very experienced developers. Like 5-10yrs+ of professional experience.
For example we have developers onsite from Red Hat and Microsoft and they play a more mentor role than anything.
Edit:forgot to add, if you really really want to skip being tied to one company, there are a couple of freelancer websites out there. You can start by doing projects for small companies etc. I've seen a couple of people build up their resume that way.

I'm a contractor. Take a full time job if you can. As a contractor, training isn't funded for me so I've been on my own for the most part as far as learning the product I'm working on. I also don't get certain software dev tools that full timers get.

Damn...all our contractors use our tools...they just have to go through me if they want shyt approved or moved to production...
If I had enough experience to be picky, I would be working somewhere else. A year from now I'll have 2yrs experience under my belt so then more options will begin to open up.Damn...all our contractors use our tools...they just have to go through me if they want shyt approved or moved to production...

Brehs. Udemy.com is running a ton of sales right now. Most courses are going for $20. But if you use the coupon code "Think1010" you can get any course for $10. It expires tomorrow 6/30
If the code doesn't work. You can google it, I racked up about 6 courses this week.

Yup. Just have to create an account ( it's free ). When you go to buy the course , just enter the coupon code. All of them are previously recorded.. They also give you 30 days to return a course. Some of the courses on there run up to $499.

I had an interview today for a level 1 tech position. Two seconds into it and I knew I didn't want it. IT department's in the basement. And there's only 5 L1 techs for ~10,000 users.
I've got a 30-minute phone interview and then an in-person interview at another place as soon as it's over. I'm gonna have to do the phone interview in a nearby Starbucks or something.

Any of you brehs know any thing about chase tech ops technicans? I just landed a gig there but I can't find any insight on glassdoor about this position
I'd learn vi(m) simply because it's packaged with pretty much every *nix based OS. It only takes about 30 mins - 1 hour. It's probably still my most used text editor(I do love Sublime Text though)
