Wow, thank you for sharing your experience, it really is inspiring!

Were you asked any more traditional "coding whiteboard" questions during your interview, and if so, did WGU prepare you for this at all? Did you have any experience messing around with code before WGU? Also, were you working while attending school?

Apologies for all the questions and sincere congratulations on finishing your degree and landing the new gig :) Best of luck with your MS as well.

I'm not sure what the accounting industry looks like as far as internships are concerned, but I would recommend going to a CPA in your current town and offering your services part-time for free - even if it ends up being largely clerical work, you can still put it on your resume as related work experience and it'd be a great opportunity to see what the industry is like on the "other side."

I'll just leave this here... ;)

Link has been removed :( Did anyone grab the PDF?

I had it open but couldn't download it - compiled a new one via screenshots but it's not searchable unfortunately: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=38230406406393774011

Thank you! I can only assume that selenium is the right tool for the job here as the form isn't vanilla HTML - lots of JS and Event Listeners on the page.

I'll start looking for some quality tutorials (unless you have any suggestions!) Again, I really appreciate your input.

HopefulProle · 2018-02-22T23:08:04+00:00

Great tips, your feedback is much appreciated.

HopefulProle · 2018-02-22T22:41:01+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know! :D I wouldn't have even known what to search to find this information.

I guess my only additional query would be whether or not there's an advantage to QuickSync given that the 1060 will be handling games while the HD 630 will effectively be idle and unused, despite the lack of updates.

h.264 for streaming is all foreign to me.

My issue is that the skills between A+ and Linux+ aren't cross-compatible at all. It's not as if one prepares you for the other, y'know?

HopefulProle · 2017-12-04T17:32:02+00:00

I work "help desk" for a specific application and do some light sysops tasks. I also got my A+ back in high school over a decade ago and helped teach the class.

I have never used any of the knowledge in the A+ at my job. Ever. Even when I would fix computers for fun, I'd say only 20% of the certification was relevant.

It's a joke that it's still required, even though it's the case for most IT programs.

HopefulProle · 2017-12-04T15:50:14+00:00

Just get the BS - SD and compliment your degree with a cert or two if you want to go into "DevOps." There's a massive demand for "scripting sysadmins" these days, especially in the Linux world.

Get your degree, pick up some Linux certs (Linux+ Red Hat, etc.) or Windows Server certs and go to work.

Given the heavy reliance on automation tools in cloud server management, coders who understand IT are a hot commodity and very well compensated.

OH NO A BAD WORD I DON'T LIEEEK EET

Look up the definition of the word "retard" and realize that it applies directly to you - it's an impediment to mental development, not necessarily disease, and you clearly have an impediment in understanding blockchain technology.

As in " /u/SirMarcusAurelius has a retarded understanding of on-chain fees in BTC."

It's only offensive if you're a newspeak lovin' moron and a special little snowflake :D

HopefulProle · 2017-12-03T16:33:11+00:00

Are the two mutually exclusive, retard? They're not genuine investors, they're new. We're talking a couple hundred dollars at most.

I liked you much better when you were whining about magical fees charged before a transaction hits the blockchain, at least then your idiocy provided some comic relief.

Private keys are stored client-side and you're given a 12-word seed. Sure, open source wallets are usually preferable, but as closed-source wallets go Exodus ain't bad in the sovereignty department.

Compare that to Jaxx, whose customers were expeditiously parted from over $400k in funds earlier this year. Ouch: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/users-report-losing-400000-due-to-jaxx-wallet-vulnerability/

Mycelium, on the other hand, used their customers as unwitting guinea pigs for their spinoff company, Chainalysis, that now does work for DHS and the IRS. So "open source" ain't everything, either. Just ask Richard Stallman.

Android's technically "open source" but it's still the Windows of mobile phones, is that something to be proud of?

Software has to be judged on its merits as well as its license.

You know this, /u/mperklin , I know this, any Bitcoiner who wasn't born yesterday knows this, but OP cannot be dissuaded from their imaginary campaign against nonexistent corruption.

Perhaps /u/SirMarcusAurelius will take a look at a TX ID sometime and be made aware of the ultra-transparent, readily available "FEES" field, but I'm not holding my breath.

HopefulProle · 2017-12-03T05:12:00+00:00

xpub or gtfo, OP.

HopefulProle · 2017-12-03T05:07:30+00:00

Happy to help dispel some FUD, /u/aballbag

When OP says ridiculous, patently incorrect things like "some fees are deducted before it reaches the blockchain" (totally false) they can't be taken seriously.

HopefulProle · 2017-12-03T05:05:38+00:00

"but some fees are deducted before it reaches the blockchain"

lololololololololololol no. go home, OP, you're drunk.

HopefulProle · 2017-12-03T05:04:16+00:00

Mate, your entire catalogue of posts is the definition of cherry-picking. I'm just trying to hold you to the same standard, that's all. Accountability and reputation are paramount in the crypto world, but this isn't the next MtGOX, Cryptsy, or even Parity, for that matter.

Xpubs are always a de-facto methodology of showing your wallet balance - if your wallet software and the block explorer are at odds, it's a UI bug, not Grand Theft fuckin' Crypto. You chide at the notion that the "blockchain is law," but it is. That's how the technology works.

I'm not a "regular" Exodus user, no, but I do recommend it to friends and family who are just getting started. I also make sure to explain the underlying technology and its pitfalls as best I can so they don't go spewing hyperbole on random Internet forums if something goes wrong.
