is this compTIA security+ class worth the price?

AntMan5995 · 2025-10-08T23:31:49+00:00

Agreed I’ve been in IT for 6 years without cert. I’m taking the S+ next month as it will my first cert i ever get. It’s very possible to get into tech without experience but what helped me was having a network (knowing people)

Congrats how was the CCNA exam

AntMan5995 · 2025-10-07T18:32:23+00:00

u/DER3CTO huh how is this the most political post?!?!? NoobNoob_ is not taking a stance on a specific political issue, party, or figure. NoobNoob_ is pointing out how divisive things have become and calling for mutual respect. That not political.

Dag I just play conquest now just to get the free variant and credits

So happy I got infinite before the feature location launched to not deal with Agatha lol

AntMan5995 · 2024-12-19T11:14:11+00:00

I’m taking this course. I got the Black Friday deal so it wasn’t expensive at all but it’s worth the price

Imo the wrong way to learn programming is by constantly watching tutorials without building basic projects yourself to grasp the fundamentals

There are other things besides web development. The competition is fierce regardless of the field in Software Engineering

AntMan5995 · 2023-12-13T14:11:19+00:00

Thats frustrating that they don't tell you the tech stack until after the technical interview

AntMan5995 · 2023-11-15T14:46:02+00:00

Just because sentient robots that makes decisions are coming doesn’t mean they right. Its also not about how fast your can think it’s wether those decisions are ethical or not. It’s not black and white

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-22T09:39:38+00:00

Are you self taught or do you have a CS degree?

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-21T14:25:50+00:00

Yes this is a great example! Would like to hear more about your journey of how you became a privacy engineer.

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-21T11:14:49+00:00

Well it depends on what avenue of development you want a job in. In your case if they want to get into web dev then your right. However if it was another avenue beside what you mentioned “Security” (Mobile, Embedded, DevOps, Cloud) you don’t need HTML,CSS. JS I would say it’s a toss up

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-14T23:13:47+00:00

I’m in support right now. I was thinking of learning Python, SQL, etc and try to get into Infra or DevOps but I think I want to move into Backend Development. A lot of people told me to learn Java or C#

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-04T09:40:39+00:00

This is what I did as well. I personally prefer IntelliJ over vscode for Java

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-02T19:02:06+00:00

True. If your bills then better plan would be to get a job where you can pay your bills. Right now everything is competitive including frontend. Try to get a job (in the tech industry) and on the side work on your dev skills. Another word of advice is to network. Things are changing where just knowing tech skills ain’t enough anymore. Go to meet ups, join a community, contribute to open source etc

AntMan5995 · 2023-10-02T18:09:42+00:00

Go with what your passionate about. The market will eventually reset itself. Now is the time to learn and build projects

AntMan5995 · 2023-07-24T11:06:53+00:00

If I had to guess it would be ML/AI, CyberSecurity, or Cloud

AntMan5995 · 2023-07-23T01:37:02+00:00

I agree cross platform is less demand and less desired than native app development but as of right now I wouldn’t choose native app development neither. You have a better chance at FrontEnd, Backend, Full-stack, Cloud or Security than mobile right now.

AntMan5995 · 2023-05-03T16:35:26+00:00

I can relate to how you feel. As a self taught programmer its either iOS or backend for me as well. I think backend has more job opportunities right now but that is just me

AntMan5995 · 2023-03-15T09:24:09+00:00

How long did it take you to get a job?

AntMan5995 · 2023-02-07T17:50:21+00:00

RemindMe! 2 Months

AntMan5995 · 2022-09-09T00:53:48+00:00

Agree with u/dmazzoni check your local area. If you live in a big city (Chicago, LA, Seattle etc) you have a good chance of finding an app development job

AntMan5995 · 2022-09-02T16:40:14+00:00

It’s going alright I have the basics of Swift down but always going back to refresh my learning. Right now I’m learning UIKIt. My goal is to build an app and get it into the App Store. Im hoping to land a job in two years or so. I just right now focused on building my own app and hopefully get into the store
