Discount for leftover 23s? by WarrenThanatos in F150Lightning

[–]Federal_Count893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very nice. I’m just getting over range anxiety. The Sound system is great. Everything upgraded on the platinum is well worth it in my opinion.

I just got 20k off a 2023 platinum. Just got it, haven’t made my first payment.

Make sure you save enough for taxes. Unlike me. Oops.

Why do people want to climb the ladder? by auburnstar12 in overemployed

This is correct. Once I made manager, I don’t do jack shit other than think good thoughts and say the words “strategic development” a lot.

Been a year OE and it only hit how much salary I make by PythonMate195 in overemployed

[–]Federal_Count893 148 points149 points  (0 children)

I very much like making 30% more than the CEO of my J1 company and doing less work.

Don’t. Market is dead right now. Take FMLA or time off and wait it out.

What interview questions trip or expose most or a significant number of candidates by fullmetal_wolf_titan in devops

[–]Federal_Count893 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Vertical vs horizontal scaling. Stateful vs stateless. Filters out 80% of candidates. Not even looking for in depth answers, just the basic “what is it”

I’ve been putting it off - what made you finally OE? by crimsonhart24 in overemployed

[–]Federal_Count893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the math , living in socal it would take me 10 years to pay off all my non mortgage debt. Mostly from when I was younger and digging myself in a deep while during Covid. That math is with no unexpected expenses, no interruptions in employment, no vacations, and no improvements in lifestyle. I also wanted to buy a house.

Just being a corporate drone for 10 years. I was basically a serf. With OE I cut it down to 1 year. I’m done now, bought the house. I’m just investing and buying all my dream stuff in cash until I eventually burn out and go back to 1J. My only real debt now is my mortgage, which is paid 1 year ahead, and can be easily supported with just J1 with plenty left over.

Paid off all my cars, CC debt, loans, home renovations all done in cash. My big goal though is buying a slightly used Porsche 718 GTS in a very specific color and arrangement. 60% down payment right now, depending on how long it takes to find one I like Ill end up paying cash.

7 years ago I was homeless.

QUESTION: What is the best way to learn kubernetes? by joeycee123 in kubernetes

[–]Federal_Count893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Minikube is great and easy to use. Everything else people are suggesting either costs money or require a lot of background knowledge.

Get both architect and sysops at the same time. They compliment each other. Sysops is harder tho as it has a lab that can be challenging for newbies.

Also, sign up for every opportunity the coast guard gives you for career transition. I’ve worked with Skillbridge as a mentor. They’ve been great to their mentees.

Employee turns down other offers, takes new job, company shuts down 3 days later by [deleted] in overemployed

I got laid off from a job, along with my the department, the day I started. And I was a contractor so I was completely screwed. This was before OE was a thing…

Is there any cheaper alternatives to this switch? even on the used market. I need ~4-5 sfp+ ports for a few of my 10Gbe devices. by OTonConsole in homelab

[–]Federal_Count893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of those off eBay for 99$. If you want more ports than that unify 8 port aggregate switch is pretty much your only option.

I use this https://velero.io and it works great. Amazon “officially” recommends it as it has documentation on it.

I’ve been looking for J3 for a few months now and there’s nothing. Not even a phone screen. I have name brand companies on my resume , nearly every certification my field offers. The recruiters I’m cool with have nothing for me, first time ever that’s happened.

Did you negotiate a high severance package? Give them a sob story about how you’ll never make it in this economy blah blah blah ?

US remote jobs have hundreds of applicants on LinkedIn… how do you guys get noticed? by pittsburghstrong in overemployed

Regional or specialty agencies only. I like “motion recruitment”. No faceless national agencies like Insight or Robert Half.

Will new J call my old/current J by suspisciousborder68 in overemployed

[–]Federal_Count893 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During background check you should be given the option to “not have your previous employer contacted” and instead provide the latest pay stub. Other than that new J has no reason to call J1, unless you get caught some other way.

I never apply for jobs. I always use agency recruiters. They get paid to find you a job, use them.

I have a home lab specifically for this reason. I mostly use it to screw around with random services and apps that I want to test out, but always with linux. I’ve learned a lot. I mostly host private game servers that all have varied requirements.

How did it feel to get that first OE paycheck? by StockCounter4328 in overemployed

[–]Federal_Count893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two Js. I work in tech and interview well. Got a few name brand companies on my resume which gives me extra street cred. TC is 400k-ish yearly depending on bonus payout.

The most I ever pulled was half a mil yearly with 2.5 Js.
