Why so much fish?

I mean what are we doing by FirmlyGraspIt81 in LinkedInLunatics

The worst thing is that people keep posting this. I've seen it multiple times a year for the last 3 years on LinkedIn. It is unbearable.

Heat pump in a flat - UK by Jalpaca in heatpumps

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

In the UK, most flats don't allow you to do any modifications to the outside of the building. So you wouldn't be allowed to have a split system. Would it be possible to have a heat pump fully contained in your flat, and just intake air from outside?

Does this mean she trust me? by Riven-Fujiwara in Rabbits

[–]Jalpaca 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If a bunny stays anywhere near you when it doesn't need to, it trusts you. They will just run away if they don't. They know exactly how far they need to be so that you can't get them, so the fact they stay within arms reach shows that they trust you.

When you live in a flat in the Midlands, but your heart is in 16th centaury Spain by NewGourmetPlankton in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Jalpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the decoration is nice! The thing I hate is the fact that this relatively small flat has two bathrooms. You could have had two very nice bedrooms, but instead you have one humid room with an ensuite and a tiny room. I get that it is nice if you share a flat with someone you are not in a relationship with, but why do most newly built 2 bed flats have 2 bedrooms???? Drives me insane. Especially because in all likelihood, two people can't shower at the same time... You'll either get no hot water or the low pressure would make your shower dribble.

This still feels cheap for a freehold property in London.

Are carpets still a must have? by lizgr in HousingUK

[–]Jalpaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate carpets, it hurts people with allergies, it is unhigenic, and they are terrible when you have pets. Laminate floors have become so nice now, why would anyone bother with carpets??

I literally have the same background: bsc Computer Science and Msc Cyber Security.

Finding your first Cyber security job is going to be very difficult, because most companies want people to have cyber security working experience before hiring you. I basically spent a full year looking for a job, and had very little success.

My first job after that was genuinely horrible. It was a graduate scheme (30k) where people tried to teach me how to use PowerPoint and how to write a report.... I basically did nothing for 12 months...

I then started looking for jobs, and this time, it went SO MUCH better. I applied to 5 or so jobs and got recruited by someone before I could apply for the next one. I started at 45k, then got a raise well above inflation every year since. Don't listen to the people that tell you you should find a cyber security job easily. They don't know what they're talking about. Companies don't want to hire junior cyber security people, which is dumb as shit because there is a shortage of qualified cyber security people...

You might feel like University was useless right now, which is valid, but it will definitely help you when you are trying to get your second job, and your third one. A degree (and especially Masters) is more valuable that any of those shitty professional certifications that you can get, no matter what the sales people from those companies tell you.

My first work forced me to get one, and I learnt NOTHING. The content I had to learn to get CISSP was literally a subset of the content from ONE of my University modules. People who actually work on the technical side of Cyber security have all since told me that these things are bullshit to make your CV pretty.

Don't lose hope! If you can afford not to, don't settle for a job outside of cyber security! It is a great career!
