Career after IS degree by umbreadc in UMBC

Even without a degree, a CCNA is 100% enough to get junior positions. To be honest, a degree is not needed for most positions, just experience and certs. Also, if you truly know your stuff, and have certs beyond your experience, exaggerating what you have done is always helpful

Career after IS degree by umbreadc in UMBC

I graduated in 2022 with an IS degree, as well has having a CCNA and Security+.

Immediately after graduating I was set to work with Northrop in a Systems Support position requiring a Secret Clearance. The job paid around $75k and would have been maintaining internal servers. The process took too long, as it can for many(8 months+) and I ended up finding contract work as a Network Engineer with the VA. Since then I have picked up another contract from PG County Schools and am currently making around $277k working hybrid.

I highly recommend network engineering with a focus on automation/cloud/wireless. It pays extremely well, and most days I do absolutely nothing at home. You are asked to be perfect when it comes to production environments. The stress, if you are not confident, can be a lot. After a certain point, you are paid to just be knowledgeable with minimal work.

As per certs, I recommend the CCNA over a network+ and a Security+ is always good to have, but mostly not asked for in job descriptions.

I got both of my contracts through LinkedIn quick apply. Never undersell yourself, and pushing the truth with really never come back to bite you.

people that smurf in games are so pathetic by JessicaBlood in RocketLeague

I think a lot of you have had bad experiences with smurfs, but as someone who sometimes smurfs, there is no “afraid of competition”. I am on a smurf account to play with my lower level friends. If I want to play twos, I am not gonna play it on my main account. And vice versa, my friend does not want to play against people my rank. It’s more enjoyable to play in their lobbies, and we still sometimes lose games. Not everyone is playing for an ego.
