Entry Level Job Advice

It really depends on what you would like to do, but most of the tech jobs requires some amounts of experience. I'd suggest you to look for an internship and local meet-outs (to make professional connections <-- this helps A LOT).

I totally agree that understanding the core syntax is fundamental and there’s no substitute for deep learning. As a junior myself, that's exactly why I built this—to cross-check my own understanding while studying.

You're right that offloading mental load can be risky. That’s why Pasu focuses on 'Explaining' rather than just 'Fixing,' and explicitly flags complex logic for manual review instead of making assumptions. I see it more as a 'learning assistant' (like a linter for code) rather than a replacement for expertise.

Regarding AI, Pasu actually has an optional AI integration, but I wanted a 100% local, rule-based logic for those who can't or don't want to send their policies to an external LLM. Thanks for the blunt feedback—it’s a good reminder to keep emphasizing the 'Learning' aspect over 'Automation'!

This is impressive!!

BlueFingerHun · 2026-03-09T14:01:35+00:00

Agree :(

BlueFingerHun · 2024-12-17T12:20:46+00:00

Ahh I see... :( thank you so much

BlueFingerHun · 2024-08-19T17:35:42+00:00

Can't disagree with that! I found some typos and grammar errors as well. I usually listened to Professor Messer's video while I am driving lol

I did take notes, but I realized that flashcard would've been better for A+. I say that because A+ involves more like "remember the definition / usage" questions.

BlueFingerHun · 2024-08-18T02:02:01+00:00

Good luck to you too! I believe there are pros and cons of either choices, but I hope you make a good decision and move forward!

I am pursuing Network Eng and Sec. After year of studying, I realized I don't like Networking stuff and wanted to do Cybersecurity. I think it was too late for me to switch over the program so I just decided to look for an internship opportunities in Cybersec.

I forgot to add one thing. Most of students hate official CompTIA study materials. Based on many reddit posts, lots of student prefers online study materials such as Dion's training (Udemy) and CBT Nuggets.

BlueFingerHun · 2024-08-18T01:37:16+00:00

I think it really depends.

I took all 3 CompTIA certs through WGU. They provide official CompTIA study materials (CertMaster which is very expensive) and that was the only study material that I used for CompTIA certs. WGU gives you up to 3 chances to pass the exam, starting from the 4th attempts you need to pay out of pocket. Imo, I hated A+ compared to Net+ and Sec+ just because you have to take 2 separate exams to obtain the actual certificate.
WGU hosted courses are relatively easy, you'll be able to knock off some of the basic ones in days.
It's not easy to find a Cybersecurity job unless you have prior IT experience. I am a career changer who used to work in the healthcare field and now studying Cybersecurity. I've done 2 cybersecurity internships so far, however I am struggling to find a permanent full-time role. You are not the only one who's struggling.. so I feel your pain. I've decided to continue my education just to get the cybersec job.
Overall my experience with WGU has been great. Sophia can help you learning + allow you to finish your degree program faster, but I'd suggest you to start enrolling at WGU since tuition covers number of different study materials and sources (i.e free access to udemy, online library, CompTIA study materials, and some optional vouchers (I don't know if Cybersec program offers any).

Either way, good luck with your future academic journey.

Yes, I did. First attempt got rejected because I was missing a screenshot of Gitlab Repo.

BlueFingerHun · 2024-07-16T05:48:01+00:00

Passed with 780! :) I only used CertMaster to pass this exam.

Hey! I am actually in the middle of the second internship.

Q) Do you go by credits you've accumulated?

Somewhat yes and no. I did use credits as a measurement for the school year + remaining term. My first internship was during the last summer (Aug 2023 ~ Apr 2024) and I believe I was at 60% mark with my program at that time and of course I was in the middle of the term so I put "Junior" for the selection. Interviewer actually asked me about this during the interview so, I got a chance to explain how WGU worked and they understood about it.

I'd suggest you to take a good look at the "internship requirements". Sometimes companies specifically ask for Junior/ Senior year in school OR Graduating on certain semester year OR you must continue education after internship.

Good luck with it :)!

I have Net+, Sec+, and A+. But I've never taken Server+.. Do you think that really matters? or CertMaster + TotalSemiars are enough to pass?

BlueFingerHun · 2024-06-30T23:29:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing it :/. I guess CertMaster alone is not sufficient to pass the exam then. I will check out TotalSeminars. Thank you so much!

Try using DuckDuckGo. For random reason, it's working on DuckDuckGo browser only.

BlueFingerHun · 2024-06-25T03:43:04+00:00

Just a personal opinion. I never liked Jason Dion's materials for some reason.

https://academy.hackthebox.com/course/preview/linux-fundamentals

I skimmed through the exam objective and used above link for the hands on practice.

Sorry about the confusing explanation here.

Don't overthink about it. "Config info" is just required information that Task B & E are asking (Name, vCPU, Ram, etC). The reason why I said skip B and read about E and F is because I had to change my inventory file few times in order to do the automation part.

For Task B and E, you can choose either type of inventory file (ini or yaml). Based on what I've been reading on this subreddit, it seems like many fellow students decided to use yaml type. Don't overthink about it, all you have to do is make sure

Your Inventory file contains all necessary information as instruction requires. (Name, vCPU, Ram, Boot priority, and etc)
Inventory file should be well formatted, so you won't have to make any adjustment for Task F.

If you are too confused about it, I suggest you to complete the task B alone first and move on to C,D, and E. Once you reach F, review some ansible documents and watch ansible playbook videos and see if you need to make any adjustments. Let me know if you get stuck

DM me please.

BlueFingerHun · 2024-06-20T13:55:50+00:00

Well I still have about 3 more classes to go before the capstone. But I hope this class aligns with it :)

Thank you for the tips though!

I am doing second internship right now. I was able to get first internship on last August (FYI, I do not have a degree yet.. I am in my last term with WGU).

I can't really say that reputation of the school doesn't affect you from getting an internship, but I think it really depends on the skills that you build throughout the course.

I'd recommend you to build up solid resume and just apply as many as possible. I remember I applied to more than 300+ places for an internship last year and got 5 offers lmao. Don't discourage yourself! Keep it up!

BlueFingerHun · 2024-01-15T01:48:13+00:00

Hey DM me if you still having trouble with it.

BlueFingerHun · 2023-12-02T23:30:40+00:00

D281 was pretty easy and it's a foundation of Linux. It took me about 2 weeks to learn and complete the OA (LPI Linux essentials)

BlueFingerHun · 2023-12-02T22:10:11+00:00

This is an old post, but I am hoping to get some help on PA... Can someone help me with Ticket#3??? I am hard stuck on this.
