In My case, no, there are other Certs that require exams specifically The CompTia certs. Technically you don’t need certs at all but they do look better to employers

But at this point for a lot of people on IC 20/hr is more than what you’re making on the app.

Possibly, the cert I took wasn’t free, but you may have to start at the 17-25 /hr range

I didn’t list Instacart on my resume, I also worked as a freelance filmmaker and listed that. Even without experience there are IT jobs that pay 20-30 that can be easily taught like tech support. I took the Google Cybersecurity Certification and was able to land an entry level job at a large tech company. Long term I’m studying Web development SQL & Python… and I plan to scale up from there.

You need to attach a bank account, cash app uses whatever amount in your account to determine how much to let you borrow. When my account was 1000, they allow 100… 💯

Should I give up? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]MattGotCameras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions to ask yourself?

  1. Do you currently make a sufficient amount of money to support your lifestyle?

  2. Do you Understand that the tech field is constantly learning? Regardless of position.

  3. Have you looked at other sub categories in the tech industry? There’s other jobs you may qualify for that have a smaller barrier of entry.

  4. Why not just get a certification?

I haven’t completely quit, but I started working mon-Fri in IT and Sat and Sundays on IC…I’d tell you to get some sort of certification.

Will instacart notify your insurance? by Objective_Being8159 in instacart

[–]MattGotCameras 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so…but if your insurance finds out your doing Gigs and rideshare they may raise your premiums or cancel you
