FINALLY got my password reset!! A year ago I solicited recommendations on stepping into the IT field. My interest was strongly in doing security, as I eventually wanted to do some penetration testing and other things in the security domain. But I was convinced of joining a coding bootcamp, which was meh. The info was good, but there were so many politics at play that it made me resent the industry before even landing my first position.
Fast forward, I now work as a developer for a Fortune 500 firm... And I could NOT be any more miserable. Pay is decent. Opportunities to advance are realistic. But the environment is so BOOOORING! Most of the day is spent killing time. There was no on-boarding or training. It's crazy, yo. I've wanted to resign everyday for the past couple of months. Is this a normal experience???
I really want to get back into education admin and become a principal. Shoot, I don't even know where to begin with regards to IT Security b/c I'm afraid of having the same thing happen again. To any new devs or devs who got into programming as a new career, what was the transition like for you??
