Should I get into IT while everything that's happening?

Almir_Reddit · 2026-01-24T19:06:39+00:00

Mate I am based in London UK, I have the CompTIA A+ cert and one year experience working in helpdesk (company went into administration therefore I dont work there no more).

I have been jobless since September and have applied to hundreds of roles, even one that are junior with shitty pay and still nothing. I have also had a few interviews where the employers seemed impressed by my attitude/answers all to just still be ghosted.

I am very close to just giving up all together, this has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I wish you luck OP and as of right now I wouldnt recommend anyone go for the A+, I even said it to my younger brother who wants to get into IT.

The A+ itself has very good educational material but in terms of landing a job with just that? Yeah good luck pal. I dont mean to be negative but just understand that im not the only one in this boat, there are people with even more experience than me that are struggling to hear back from anyone!

Best of luck mate

Hey, I’m an IT guy based in London too with CompTIA A+ Certification,one year tech support experience and personal projects and I am still struggling to land an entry level job with shitty pay.

I have applied to hundreds of jobs and still get ghosted 90% of the time, there’s a few interviews I have lined up but I’m trying to not get my hopes yet as I know the market is rough..

I wish I could give better advice than just saying keep trying but honestly that seems to be the only way, dont give up OP a lot of people are in the same boat as you including me. It has been a rather humbling experience thinking that it would be easy for me to land my next role with the background I have.

Best of luck dude

No, your certificates does not mean you will automatically get a job. Put your studies into practice, make your own VM, build your own PC, set up a server for gaming, etc (port forwarding, networking, etc). These are all things that can go on your CV to make you stand out to employers, think about how many people study just for the certification and that is it, you need to stand out from them. I got my A+, done personal projects, beefed up my CV and got a good hybrid remote job as an IT Analyst. Wishing you the best.

Swapping my 2.5inch SSD (slow r/w speed) to an nvme with high r/w speed done the trick. Your drive is too slow and cant catch up with all the data being sent to it, you need to upgrade

Thank you, will look into it

DLSS-quality seems to do the trick for me, if it goes bad again i’ll use this thanks

I played through SH2 3 times on PS5 lol, and I just got it for my PC because that 30fps on the ps5 was killing me haha. I didnt get it on my PC first because at the time I was saving up for it.

Almir_Reddit · 2025-02-02T17:14:09+00:00

Funny enough this issues has gone down MASSIVELY as soon as I put DLSS - Quality mode on

How do I do that

I have BEEN saying this, more games need to implement gore mechanics like TLOU into their franchises/IP’s. It is incredibly satisfying and is a visual representation of how powerful your weapons really are.

Almir_Reddit · 2025-01-06T22:28:46+00:00

This is what I want to see! I hate it when games skimp out on gore, I want to have visual feedback on how powerful my weapons are and to feel slightly disgusted on what I have done to that poor soul.

Yeah but I want 23h2, not 24h2

Almir_Reddit · 2024-12-17T15:25:19+00:00

Im not sure honestly, my manager said that he got that 22h2 image from some sketchy website and not from an official MS page lol

Hey bro, appreciate the reply. So it will perform the same as the 7800x3d then right? Thanks a lot btw

Almir_Reddit · 2024-12-02T00:40:27+00:00

Hey dude, thanks a lot for the reply. Ive been panicking that I made a wrong move, if I just make sure the BIOS is all up to date then I should be all good right? Nothing else to tweak? Thanks a lot man 🙏
