I dont mark my race or gender.

Don't you have a ethnic name that gives you away though?

Dope!! what type of questions did you have on your test??

What's your opinion for applying to companies who initially rejected you? Back in november I had apply to this job I wanted badly. $116K plus 10 percent bonus..recruiter contacted me, passed both the initial interview with the recruiter and completely destroyed the technical part of the question. Phone interview with the hiring manager..in the middle of the interview he stopped asking me technical questions because the recruiter told him, I know my shyt etc. etc. so after the phone interview..they moved my status to they were going to proceed with an in person interview....I hated the timing because it was mid December and people are usually out of the office etc. So I never got an update from them and when I e-mailed the recruiter, she never bothered to give me one. Same job was posted last night, I literally qualify for every thing on the check list and more. Looking at folks with the same title on linkedin, they don't have the credentials I do.

I re-applied and am even more qualified. I just want the money.

Worst they can do is reject you/not respond.

Any one on here have any Salesforce Dev certs?



Also I’ve been dabbling in IOS fronted for a while and I’m thinking of learning backend and getting an Aws dev cert. Can anyone offer insight on that?

I was "turned down" by my current job twice "allegedly" before I got it.

I didn't get that far though, I got "turned down" supposedly when they were presented my resume

Yet somehow my current recruiter was able to get me a real interview.

Honestly, just do both. A lot of highly paid positions in I.T will require some form of programming(maybe the more experience guys here can say other wise) these days in terms of automation. At least for the jobs I want. Python seems to be the most popular and I want to learn it by the end of the year.

You know how I recommended to you to go buy the Mike Meyers A+ practice exams from Udemy for $10? My recommendation still stands because the Mike Meyers A+ practice exams questions are interchangeable with the questions on the real A+ exam.
