you should, I'm signed up for the cyber security and hacking group meetup in the dc area.Think im gonna sign up for one of these code groups on meetup
I feel trapped brehs.
This MSP is working the DOG shyt outta me. I have 2 switches, 2 routers, a meraki device and 3 APs configure within the next two weeks, along with ticket flow form north and south branches. The north branch no longer has a network engineer so most of that shyt flows to me. Keep in mind they are only paying me 55k.
Been applying left and right but im not finding shyt. Im thinking the Houston market is catering to CCNP and higher due to a lack of IT jobs...
Might need to start looking to move. Any suggestions?
I have questions for the black IT Cert gang.
1. Was it hard finding a job in this field as a black person?
2. As a black person, is going in the IT field the right direction? What I mean by that is, is it worth going through all the trouble for the field?
3. What are the tips for getting jobs in the entry-level IT positions?
4. Do employers care about your first name? (I know there's discrimination in every field)
I'm asking all of this because I've been job searching entry-level IT related work (anything to do with Microsoft Excel and Word atm) and I'm getting no call backs. So I'm going to be honest and say I am slightly, if not more so discouraged lately. I'm starting to wonder if it's my name, and other factors. and if I should give up on pursuing this career and probably do STNA (I don't want to, but it seems I see more people who look like me there than in any field I can think of atm)
To be honest, it's very frustrating. But I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction.
Please and thank you!
MSP Stands for?That's MSP life breh. They're notoriously high turnover. I worked at one for little over a year. I don't regret it as I learned a whole lot; but I would never go back to work at an MSP unless I had an ownership stake in it.

Breh take it.Got a one day job setting up some network printers along with two other techs for HP through a staffing company. Pays $100 for up to 4 hours? Should I take this? May it lead to other opportunities. This is my first tech job BTW.
