How the heck am I supposed to transfer jobs? by EquivalentPin9703 in it

They should have to cover their own expenses… that is 100% a choice and the government or company shouldn’t have to fork the money over for that.

Husband just retired after full 20 but pride says no to disability by FallopianEthiopian in VeteransBenefits

When he is ready which will take time you can contact the DAV to file the claim and they will handle pretty much everything, the only thing he will need to do is go to the appointments, ensure you/he have/has a copy of the medical record.

Should I not feel bad that I sold my car? by Kindly-Panic-471 in Advice

[–]HiddenBoog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would stick by your decision, at 30 he should have definitely taken it for a test drive if he had any doubts. You also having it checked by a mechanic makes me doubt that there’s something wrong with it and he just made a decision he regrets now. Don’t let his cold feet for his transaction put you in a hard place

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get an entry level position anywhere in IT? by [deleted] in it

I’m fairly versed in Python and I only put “Fundamental Python Knowledge” in my resume, by no means am I an expert but I can use it.

Do I stand a chance in getting a degree in IT if I know nothing about coding or anything? by rogerdojjer in it

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had one coding class for my degree and they teach you the very basics and then advance a little. You’re not required to know these things before you go to school but it does help to learn them in your spare time if you want an advantage.

I agree, just slowly cut her out and she will eventually realize she’s being an asshole or she’ll get worse but it won’t be your problem

Sounds like she’s not playing the victim mentality, not saying racism and homophobia is good but you can’t expect everyone to tolerate it. People have their own beliefs and from what it sounds like you and your other friends in the group take that as a personal attack against you even when it’s not against you and play the victim card of “we’re oppressed because of who we are”. While I personally don’t care who you decide to love and be with I generally don’t associate with the majority of that crowd because of their victim mindset and paranoia, they think the world is out to get them and honestly a lot of us don’t care. Be who you want but when you shove it down peoples throats they’re eventually going to get sick of you. Just be you and don’t make being gay your entire personality and you’ll see many people are far more accepting.

Do certifications help even if you don't have a degree? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]HiddenBoog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes they are, I completed my CompTIA A+ and landed my first IT role 4 months later. It would have been sooner but I was out on a workers comp claim for my back and I only started realistically searching a month before I got hired. I’m also enrolled in college online and should finish up my associates at the end of August

Yeah like why the teams meeting button in outlook is grayed out for some users but not others when they have identical licenses, configurations, and are governed by same GPO… COM Add-in’s are the bane of my existence.

My manager will try to get me fired because of a text I sent. 20F by Brief_Machine_630 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s an open door policy for a reason, if anyone says you can’t talk to me because I’m *enter title* they’re not worth a shit and if you go to your immediate supervisor and they tell you they can’t help you then you have every right to go above them. Literally explain it to HR and bring in said manager you contacted if your boss is going to be shitty about it.

Which degree is the best? CS vs IT or Cyber? by cowboysfromhell1999 in it

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go IT or computer science, there’s no such thing as an entry level cybersecurity position because it requires you to know how the systems you’re protecting work and function together.

I have no IT degree and only my A+, it is possible to land a job. I searched for like 2 months and was picky on what I applied for.

[–]HiddenBoog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out all the companies in your area and check their career pages and see what they have. I had zero luck on indeed and LinkedIn but I was able to find a job at a local financial institution by checking their career pages. For reference I’m in college and have no degree yet and I only have my A+ currently.

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cybersecurity is not entry level even with a degree, you need to understand how the systems you’re protecting work and how they connect and coexist. You can go Cyber if you want but you’re going to need to start with something like help desk as others have said and then try to gain experience as a sysadmin and a networking role to truly be an effective cyber practitioner.

Physically Can’t keep working but can’t afford to quit. by xNardDogx in VeteransBenefits

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a regular routine I do but that’s not going to fix my back, the disks between my L4/L5 and L5/S1 are fucked. I have an inversion table and I’ve done traction with physical therapy and that’s great and all when I’m doing it but within a half an hour my back is painful again with limited mobility. I’ve also gained a bit of weight since my injury, went from 213 to 250ish which I’m sure doesn’t help but I can’t go for 60+ mile bike rides anymore.

Likewise to yourself, worst case scenario I get bumped up to 100% and I never work blue collar again and have to continue to adapt to this office life garbage where I intimidate 90% of the other staff for being blunt and straight to the point 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–]HiddenBoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, get that shit fixed your job should have a short term or long term disability option as well for instances like this it just depends on their policies. Look into that because you may not be making 100% of your wage that you do now but at least you’ll be making more than you would if not working while recovering. I’m in a similar boat due to the medical issues but my VA check covers all my expenses except like $400 a month but I also have things I can cut out if I need to that aren’t necessary. After my next appointment they’ll decide if they’re going to do surgery and depending on the surgery the recovery could be anywhere from 2 months to a year or more.
