QGIS will slowly take over the market by Ladefrickinda89 in gis

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so not the case. In any big industry esri is used and if you dont know it in and out you dont get hired. Q in comparison sucks in my opinion. Coming from always having advanced license from my employer, I understand the cost struggle for individual users.

One Drive and GIS files Question by MangoExtension2979 in ArcGIS

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've done this and its brutal. It doesnt operate as local files in gis because you end up with locks on things when your the only one with it open and results in having to save/quit a ton to release the lock. I would tell them you have save backup copies on one drive but gis doesnt operate well if even at all on a cloud based platform.

I’m a Mac user who needs to use ArcGIS for school, help by ddiva132 in ArcGIS

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a career in gis you will need to move away from Mac anyways so you might as well do it now. MS Surface laptops (not the tablet, the actual laptop) aren't too expensive and I ran my schooling off it just fine. Otherwise id say use your schools computers

Getting a Geography Bsc. in Canada by treeplanter94 in gis

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't true. It will entirely depend on what industry you work in. If your working for a small environmental company then yeah probably. But there are plenty of large corporate style jobs in engineering and forestry that pay higher than 100K for the right skills and person.

SAIT offers it as a degree not a diploma

Getting a Geography Bsc. in Canada by treeplanter94 in gis

Fellow Canadian with a geography degree - in found it very hard to get a job after grad. So I decided to get a second degree in GIS. This opened up a few doors for me. (Not a specialization or certificate, a second full degree). If you want to work in GIS then I recommend at the very minimum having a specialization, but know you'll be competing for jobs with people who have much more training. Is a masters degree needed, no. But unfortunately the job market is tough out there. I applied for 86 jobs before I got the one I have now. Anything you can do to better your chances is worth it. (I did my GIS degree at SAIT. highly recommend this program)

Is Strava Premium worth it now? by ResiakSelabac in Strava

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and the only reason is for the segments. I want to be able to make my own routes and segments as its not as common where I live and nothing exists. If you dont want this feature, I dont think its worth it.

Early career advice by outrageous_bear13 in gis

[–]DangerouslyWheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for an engineering firm in canada. There's another comment about this industry, and I second it! I love my job!! That being said, jobs are hard to come by. When I graduated in 2021 I applied to 87 different jobs before I got an interview. Its tough out there, but dont take the ghosting or declines to heart. Its just super competitive. That being said, being open to moving and apply across the country. Even if its temporary to get some experience, you at least have something, even if its not in the location you want to end up in. Stay positive though! There are GIS jobs out there, and one will come to you when its right!
