It's looking like Moving into a Systems Engineer role would give me the technical skills for a Architect role, but it looks like theres no way to move into it without doing help desk > System admin.

:wow::mjcry: can't take that pay cut.

No one can afford to take a pay cut these days. Move lateral if you have to but never backward. Not an option breh.

Aren't you in Info Sec or something though? I think I`m better off just being the BA that has technical skills that I am now and continue to gain skills vs trying to go 100% technical at this point. By the time I have 10 yrs experience I`d think I`d be able to make a good case for an Architect role somewhere if I haven't gone right into management.

Nah been helpdesk in pretty much all my positions.

I list the titles as either IT Analyst or Desktop Analyst tho :mjpls:

I do have my Sec+ and use a bunch of security terms on my resume too.

Just got hit up for a remote gig paying $65/hr. If I got it I'd be making $125/hr.

Low key don't wanna apply cause I really don't feel like interviewing anymore :francis:

I would have never guessed I'd get to this point in my life :wow:



I worked from home for over a year straight. I couldn't wait to go back to a cubicle. I was going crazy breh :damn:

I'm working from home as a red badge NCE at Cisco and I literally "work" 3-4 hours a day and then stretch it to 8 somehow. I've only been doing it 3 weeks and I'm going crazy being alone all day. I'm thinking about trying to find a bullshyt office gig and then do both. You ever pulled off something like that?
