Sometimes I feel I should be satisfy with were I am at but still keep studying to keep an exit plan in my back pocket, just in case. Companies I would like to ideal work for such as big fours, the people I talk to have no work life balance. I was dating a girl and she would work 8 to 8 :mjtf:, Recent girl I have been talking got home from a 12 hour work day :snoop:. This isn't life man :beli:.

I use to think I wanted to work for a MS or Google but after talking and working with enough people who have I realize that life ain't for me. Some of these places really believe you should be fine with working OT every week:hubie:

Before I can start my new job I got to get ITIL certified.

This shyt is hella boring. :beli:

Is this cert of value for any non-management positions?
Not really but you have to do what you have to do. Knock it out so you can focus on the better stuff.

8 to 8 is some wild shyt :martin:

But yeah, Same boat for me. I now have all the certs that I wanted (AWS, Azure, ITIL, CCSK, TOGAF...) and I'm making good money but that big 4 is some different type of shyt breh :francis:. Like you said, the overtime will kill you slowly so now I'm learning to love what I have now. :usure:

I barely have an hour of overtime everyday :dame:, The most it gets is a 2 hour overtime maybe twice a month. It ain't that bad... for now :sas2:

How do y’all feel about contracts? I’m so used to being a worker under an actual that contracts kinda scare me. I have seen a lot of people prefer contracts and actually jump from contract to contract. I just got an offer that was just for 7 month.

I've never been on contract, but it doesn't seem like something I'd like. Seems like you'd be constantly on the hunt - no real stability. I could be wrong.

I’m in my A+ class right now. When I’m done with the program i signed up for I will have my A+, Network+, Security+, CASP, CCENT, CCNA, MS Windows 10, MCS Server 2012, and a ethical hacker cert :whew:

I’m in the NYC market. Do y’all think I can hit 6 figs or close to it by this time next year?
