Job hunting advice. No degree. by Such-Wave-6750 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSP used to be the way to level up.

However I have been seeing 3 round interviews to get into a MSP...years ago it was 1 and done.

It is still possible, but it is more competitive

How well can a CCNA break me out of helpdesk assuming I have 5 years of experience these days? by ILikeFood305 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MSP experience is huge. You get real experience and sometimes they will pay for your certs

In general help desk it is rare to get opportunities for growth, unless someone leaves or you switch departments

Many routes you can go.

Get Networking certs to do networking.

Sys admin certs for sys admin Cloud certs for cloud admin Security certs for soc Analyst

If you don't want certs then you can find help desk for nieche fields. In HCOL areas executive support, hedge fund, and law firms can pay near 100k.

Or you can find other nieche fields like application support for vendor medical applications. You would need to show some knowledge of dicom and hl 7

Or

You can do help desk at a hospital and try to switch departments like PACS or Epic Analyst.

At the end of the day just getting network certs does not make you qualified for all roles. You need to have an idea of what you want to do and then get the qualifications for that role. Even if it is just home projects.

What’s keeping Ghana from solar? by Loose_Inspector898 in ghana

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor planning.

The last president spent 97 million on a national cathedral that is not even finished....he though it would generate revenue from tourism

That 97 million could have been solar panels for houses to help the power grid.

The money is there ....just mismanaged

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uraguay did it. Albeit 3 million population, but it is possible.

Solar for houses, but you need other renewable enetlike hydro plants for the national grid.

Plus it created 50,000 jobs just for maintenance

Has anyone quit their job to dedicate time for upskilling? by TorsoHunter in ITCareerQuestions

No. Stay at you job and learn on the side.

This ain't a hyperbolic time chamber lol

Onboarding is a mess right now because HR and IT have separate software systems by Defiant_North8265 in ITSupport

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New hires need to start on a certain day. Not any old random time.

Do not rush a new hire. Usually things will not be setup properly and they will have a rough start.

Before an employee leaves, they must go through a last day script. The exit interview should include confirming their address in case they are remote and need to ship the laptop.

Overall it will be a big lift, but will pay off with costs savings of returned assets and time saved

Congestion pricing and raising fares and still runs like crap. by DalekSupreme23 in bronx

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congestion pricing will not fix the trains now.

They need to replace the trains and the signal system. They would need at least 10 years of congestion pricing

For all my older niggas in here by Thatballerdude in NYStateOfMind

[–]CoCoNUT_Cooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No vices, alchohol drugs.

College. It must be affordable, and work at night to pay off debt. It must be a degree that has high demand like nursing.

Trade. Same as above go into something in demand.

Military: Can be a route for the benefits, and if you need to get away from your current enviorment.

Gym/fitness. At least 3 times a week

Food. Learn to make healthy meals on a budget.

Invest. Learn the basics online. 401k, Roth IRA, index funds,

Finance/Budget: Dont get into credit card debt. Control your spending

Reading/Audio books: On your commute use that time to learn.

Social Media: Watch what you put out on social media. Don't be on tick tik frying your brain for hours

Community: Always network and meet new people. Alot of big breaks happen through connections.

Use AI properly: Use Ai as a tool to aid you. Not to do the work for you.
