I recommend you have a system with 16 gigs minmum. You can get by with less but once you start doing things that require you to have a server running and 2-3 clients its starts to really push the system.

Thanks, I am going to need to upgrade I'm rockin a 4th gen i3 cpu with 8 gigs on a desktop.
I do have a laptop that is an i5 and 12 gigs ram but, I come up short on hard disk space.Is everything you do on a separate network? Meaning do you isolate traffic from your lab evionrnment and your home network? What are you using for a router? I take it you said buy cheap laptop cuz Linux can handle the hardware and you can run another node and not worry about if your computer can handle the extra resources? Thanks for the resources I'll look into them. Yeah, I down for a group chat.

The tier 2 people at my last job were making about the same 18 an hour so maybe it’s a Wisconsin thing or some shyt orrr lmfao
Going back to school might be a waste of time. I'd look into getting an Asssociate level cloud cert in the next couple months and try and get a job with that. If you're struggling there then maybe look into going back. Also with your associates and if you can get a few certs (A+, Sec+) you can apply to this Amazon apprentice program:

For the brehs that obtained the aws associate cert
What was the first cloud job you obtained and how was the interview like?
Is there like a junior cloud engineer role?
I have a year and a half experience so far. I'm on studying with cloud guru, youtube, and the udemy questions. I'm about to get into the VPC section.
I'm also starting with linux as well
Hopefully I'll be eating big by this time next year

Question, once you got the developer, did they ask you to know how to code? I got the AWS SA and the AWS Security but I got moved to another part of the business. I want to learn devops but It would be easier for me to master aws devops instead of learning Jenkins, kubernetes" etc.

bro bros.....Im thinking about doing a 6-month long Cyber Security Boot camp in downtown Chicago culminating in testing for a Security+ cert. They have job placement tools as well. All the reviews have been stellar on Compare The Best Coding Bootcamps of 2019 too.....All-in it's about a $12K loan. What do u brehs think?
