Lie on that resume

Command prompt, just practice - look for real world cases where you can use it. Build up a pattern.

I won't get excited, but I had a good conversation with a recruiter last night about a position with a company I previously contracted with. It's my goal salary and he seemed sincere enough about wanting to help me. I have a few other things in the pipeline as well, but nothing as good as this.

No Such thing as a Goal Salary. Skies the limit

This Cysa+ got way more depth than the Sec+ for damn sure. Had to push that hoe back two weeks.

Jumping straight to the CISSP after all this.

Whoever said “the further you advance in IT, the less work you have to do” was not lying.

I’m a network admin and 90% of my time is spent surfing the web and studying for certs. I can’t believe I get paid for this

Right now I’m trying finish up the second half of the CCNA data center certification before I start going deeper into Python and working on my CCNP R&S. There’s always something new to learn brehs

True shyt, I did WAAAY more work at call center, retail, helpdesk than I do now.

Real talk, job game just like the dating game. Build yourself up & call your own shots.

It's honestly crazy going from getting my first helpdesk gig four years ago to turning down 100k offers four years later

you have come a long way

 

[Silkk]

you have come a long way

Still got a little way to go, but if I can focus I should be there by January


I owe a ton of credit to this thread, but I owe a LOT of credit @bdizzle personally. The shyt he would be in here posting & talking about definitely lit a fire under my ass.

True. I was talking about as far as working for someone else. It’s a comfortable salary that meets my financial goals without having to be manager.

For sure! I loved working with the product and hopefully I'll get a chance to again, plus it's a really good company. I applied for a remote mid-level role for another company, obviously not as much pay, but I'm still excited.
