I put in for my A+ exam in mid July. Gives me two months to prepare even more from what I already know. I'm about 2/3 done with Messers videos and have his course notes. Likely use another resource as well, maybe Meyers too. Still gotta go thru the parts on cloud computing, which interest me the most, as well as printers and troubleshooting, and networking again, and eventually after take network+ after the 1002. But I think with hands on experience I can learn better for some of that stuff. I was looking to see if there was any basic entry level jobs but most required A+ and/or a few years experience. Maybe something for a small company, who knows. Just gotta focus and keep doing practice exams and watching these videos to pass the test.
as part of this bootcamp i'm in, i tried to use a VM and install linux on there but my mac is so damn slow. Like it was damn near unresponsive. Taking another suggestion with using a USB, hopefully it works.
This all the lil macbook I got until i come across some more money.

What one do you have and how much RAM is in it?
I bought it in 2013, and it has 8 gigs. I managed to get Ubuntu on my flash drive, I guess what’s next is putting a partition on my HDD and then installing

Are you just trying to learn Ubuntu? You can run it from a USB for that purpose Try Ubuntu before you install it | Ubuntu.
i did this....but now i got two EFI Boot disks (probably one from the VM i didn't uninstall yet) and Ion know what's what

You should have two boot disk(your macbook and USB) and the icon for the USB is going to look different than the others. Your VM is not going to appear in the list. Try booting from the USB and see what happens. If it doesn't work, link the guide you followed for creating the USB.i did this....but now i got two EFI Boot disks (probably one from the VM i didn't uninstall yet) and Ion know what's what

I talked to the manager of it services at my job. He said once I pass my cert, he’ll pull some strings for shadowing. It’s a start. I just hope I continue to build and land that dream job that moves me outta here.
for whatever reason I got no notifications for this thread
absolutely. I’ve gained a bit of interest in security operations center, and possibly looking into incident handling, but there’s a free AWS bootcamp that promises CCP readiness so imma take a crack at that cert once its done
For security operation centers. You will need a network plus, sec plus and linux cert. Typically what they will ask for (Tier 2 mostly), pretty much guarantees you a tier 1 position.
After tier 1, typically people move around to whatever it that they are doing. Those that stay tier 1 forever typically have no motivation. They are open to train because a lot of people typically leave.
Good things about soc: You gain good experience, troubleshooting etc.
The bad : new comers get shytty shifts lol. Its a 24/7 thing.

These indian recruiters call me so much that I just start trolling them and eventually block their number
I don't trust em at all and wouldn't trust companies that use em. This one dude yesterday was trying to have me interview for some network security engineer position in NC. I wasn't even taking him seriously cause I think they're all scams. He was trying to say the position is between $32-35. And I told him give me $45/hr and relocation assistance and we'll make it work
.
He was hype af and kept calling me and emailing me cause he was able to get the $45/hr while I just ignored it. Companies hire these indian nikkas and they are soooo unprofessional. An email he attached me to had some candidate information from a couple months back and salaries were being discussed smh. PII nshyt all sent to me.

CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) Complete Course & Practice Exam is the course i signed up for today
i appreciate the heads up. i'm gone be in here picking ya'll brain throughout the course

I’m contemplating what my next cert will be. I think I’m gonna do a couple smaller ones in June to give my brain a little of a rest (studying with suspected GAD has made this process longer than it had to be) and then map out my next step.
I’m hearing conflicting information about Net+ vs. CCNA, just gotta talk to some more industry folks.
I don’t care about shytty shifts, if given the opportunity I’ll make adjustments. I just want something that wakens up my passion and gets me out of where I am now.
