can international students studying in the US join?

Yes... they have a student membership rate. But I didn't actually join. I just went to the career fair they hosted. I didn't really see the value in the membership. But I won't assume that there isn't some benefit, I just didn't see it. Maybe you can get your school to help you pay for the membership though.

Hey brehs, been studying compTIA for the past month. I know passing the exam only will not help get on the path to 6 figures but can any brehs recommend a place to find help desk positions to further my IT experience. Indeed.com is not helping me very much since I need prior experience for most of the jobs:wow:

Brehs, how common is it in this industry to be sitting on your ass with nothing to do most of the day?

I've been working at my current job for about 3 months, and outside of a few crunch time deadlines, I'm really just chilling most of the day. I imagine things will change once I become more senior but even some of the more experienced people on my team don't usually seem terribly busy.

Took all my resume postings down and now these recruiters coming out the woodworks with offers.

I should put up a new one saying offer must exceed 80k

Hire up you get, less work you do.
