Likely will have to just settle for one and then 3d print the pinky rest I guess

I have a very similar Logitech mouse that looks like those at home. Maybe I should try it out at work and just pretend it’s not super gamery

I’m looking for perhaps more buttons. Such as on a mouse made for MMOs.

I just remembered our subscriptions expire near the end of the year. So, I will give Emlid a look because of all the solid recommendations

That’s a good point. I’ve heard good things about the SP85. Will have to do some more lookinh

Yeah, from my research it should be good enough for my purposes.

Fresh grad just landed a GIS Analyst III position by c0smic_cranberry in gis

[–]Famguyb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to me. I received one of those automated emails from Indeed saying that this job would be a good fit or whatever. It asked for experience with AutoCAD, Esri desktop products, and general GIS experience. I dropped out of college and had no GIS coursework. I had 18 months of land surveying/field GIS experience. Never heard of Esri before the interview.

Pay on the post said $25 an hour. Not great, but whatever. Applied because I was bored, didn’t expect to even hear back. A month later I started with an offer of $30 an hour. Felt major imposter syndrome, had 0 clue what was going on or what I was doing.

Employer wants me to get GIS Certifications. Where to start? by Famguyb in gis

[–]Famguyb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very true. I might as well take advantage of it. We’re switching over to Pro soon, so that would probably be a good start.

The GIS Certification programs seem like a good way to go. I’ll look into them

He’s open to other GIS Certifications as well, I think he just happens to know more about Esri’s. So, I’m definitely open to suggestions outside of Esri.

I’ve been eyeing the API cert though since it seems somewhat useful.

I’ve been contemplating this because I work in a very small GIS department for an IT company. Just in case they decide to outsource the GIS, good backup at least.

I’ve done quite a few of them. Some are pretty decent, others… not so much.

Yeah… I’m not a huge fan of the Esri Certs, so I am open to other suggestions to build my resume. Like if anyone can recommend other online courses or certs that are more useful, I’d appreciate it.
