I am studying Linux+ it’s not going anywhere even though work ain’t paying for it. I understand you regarding the anxiety, I’m mean i really feel it when I log into LinkedIN and everyone and their friends are building labs deploying agents etc, I don’t want to stay behind so I’ve committed! It’s really a mindset, I don’t want to get old and dumb I want to get old and smarter. Ik it’s extreme but it works for me.

Feel free to Pm me and we can connect via LinkedIn and follow each others journey.

I’ve done UX/UI, and some front end development professionally. I’ve done full stack and deep c++ programming like (os programming) and I didn’t see myself programming for life. I also didn’t want to deal with leetcode for the rest of my life. I really didn’t see it being a positive thing in my life, I enjoy computers and learning and I’ve been working towards finding what I love in IT. I’ve done A+ and Net+ and I did like networking. Though system admin roles are also appealing to me. Im trying to find my role in life at the moment.

I had the same realization, doing desktop support but going for infrastructure roles next

PM me. we have the same grad date. And I only need my sec now to get the trifecta. Let’s study each others careers along the way

What does software support mean ?

What’s current pay?

Hell yeah . Cloud engineer? I’m in the same boat trying to decide where to go

Taking notes👍🏻

Yeah I’m not trying to sound entitled I’m trying to understand why the bar is set so low at $26 below with certs and education. From the chats here it sounds like this is normal pay ppl take. I’ll just focus on making myself worth more then $26

He gets it ^

I have the degree

Technical Analyst

The point is to understand why recruiters will reach out with an $18 “opportunity” when I’m earning +$30

I’ve been offered $35 in the past.

I’m curious what’s the title ?

I can attest. Took my 2 weeks ago and same 5 PBQ’s !!!!!

I took it 2 weeks ago and passed. Take it seriously, it was difficult but lab lab lab lab please lab. I got 5 PBQ and they were extremely comprehensive

If it’s a matter of who you know, then GUYS I promise that’s once I make it I’ll be your reference because I know how hard it is out there.

Breathe !! Give your self a mental break and just think of the most comfortable place in the world. Think about how relaxing it is and that everything is okay. This gives me mental clarity during exams. Because I am the type of person that as soon as I start my heart starts pumping heavier.

I’m in this boat too. Considering just going for CCNA and skipping Network+
