yeah, they send you your equipment in the mail. I bought a KVM off Amazon for $10 and keep the laptop for my remote job under my desk and just switch back and forth between screens.

Plus getting paid weekly is On Fridays I'd get 3k from one job and on Tuesdays I'd 2k from the other

I was getting real liberal with my money though. I'd go to strip club and drop a stack like it was nothing. I miss those days

I'm tying to get something like this setup now. My only problem is I have about 2-3 calls a week with my remote job and I'm afraid people will hear what I'm talking about and start asking questions.

I got like 3 interviews for a office gig lined up next week.

i can work remote if i choose but i do it one a day a week...i find it easier to focus more in the office

This.during our last Snow storm, I worked from home 3 days straight and did nothing but finish up Jessica Jones and watch anime. I just cannot focus while working from home...lol

I decided to start studying for the CISSP since my job is willing to pay for the exam and any training class associated with the cert. What are some good books and videos I can use for studying?

Do what I did, grab a conference room of go have the call in your car.

Stop making excuses breh. I passed my A+, CCNA, and MCP while working 40 hours a week and having a full load in college, and was on the Deans list and drove 2 hours on the weekend to hang with my gf while she was at college.

If you come into this with a shytty work ethic you'll never make it.

It's a lot of info but the content isn't difficult. I view it like a history test, just a bunch of shyt to memorize.

Dudes making excuses is a pet peeve of mine. I've literally laid out the step by step blueprint on how to sit on your ass 8 hours a day and pull over 200k a year and dudes still wanna bullshyt

Use bootcamp

And I studied for about 6 months for my CISSP. I cut the cable off, stopped hanging with friends as much, and just bust my ass. I went from making 75k to 125k over night

That sounds like me I'm coming with every excuse not to study
