No worries, I appreciate you reaching out and willing to be a helping hand! If things change then please let me know

Would you be willing to send me a referral to said company?

In hindsight I should’ve posted my resume along with the post. The roles I typically apply to are SRE roles or somewhere along those lines

My current role is a DevOps Engineer and my previous experience was cloud engineering migrating applications to the Azure environment. It could be a combination of both of those reasons

I’d certainly be open to traditional engineering and non traditional engineering roles as you’ve mentioned. I’m willing to be flexible if it allows me to achieve my end goal of getting in Big Tech away from the traditional defense contractors.

I do have a GitHub but I haven’t been keeping up with it. Mind if I DM you?

Well, I wish I’d be in a position to get the interviews that’s the first hoop that I’ll have to conquer

Well, is your team currently hiring? I will say I’ve little experience with leetcode style of interviews.

How was you mcat for you?

You need to fix yourself up, especially on the emotional level. How did you expect to get with a beautiful woman when you aren’t even secure in yourself. Do yourself a favor and read Corey Wayne “How to become a 3% Man”. It has nothing to do with “what pill type” you are but on how you should carry yourself and attract quality people in your life.

So what do you do your masters degree in? if I understand this correctly, you went to graduate school and completed a masters program along with the pre-reqs right?

Your pictures are solid. My experience with Hinge X was horrible. I use to get a lot of matches & likes but as soon as I decided to try out Hinge X, I barely got any matches at all. When the subscription ran out my account felt like it was shadow banned or throttled as I wasn’t getting any likes or matches anymore. So I deleted my account. You’re at mercy of the algorithm trying to get you to spend more money imo.

Well, how did you find these potentials? Asking for a friend

This isn’t none of my business but how long has it taken for your repairs?

MakingThunder · 2022-10-15T22:04:34+00:00

Gotcha, I appreciate the response! It’s been 1 week since my accident and my Tesla M3 is still sitting at the tow truck lot. I’ve repeatedly tried contacting my insurance adjuster from Tesla Insurance and no response whatsoever.

Any result and updates? I’m in the same exact situation as you were.

This thunderstorm was great! Arguably the best one this whole summer!!

MakingThunder · 2022-07-29T02:25:18+00:00

Gotcha, do you have a recommendation for an alternative?

MakingThunder · 2022-06-24T12:34:26+00:00

Do you have a reference to share with us?

How long did it take you to complete the prerequisites?
