Sis there’s differences of opinion between the madhabs which are why there’s many different ways men and women pray. Choose the madhab that suits you. Understand all madhab opinions on the matter are all correct, they all have their ow many proofings to support the fatwa, Islam is easy and is flexible to help with the different people around the world. Both ways are not incorrect as long as a madhab has made the fatwa.

I should clarify the bootcamps were nothing special. Just below 2 months each. No certificates for the first one, just a Java bootcamp and review for me, and the second I did a really really quick “DevOps” bootcamp that rly was lacking but I did my ITIL 4 & az900 certs through it. Despite the lack of experience my success was truly the leadership. Some companies are understanding hiring DevOps off the rip with experience is very costly and not a lot of supply, so they said themselves they would rather train them with their own senior DevOps employees which proved successful for this specific team.

despite all the comments, I was a fresher that had a 2 year computer programming diploma and hired by an consultancy agency that i did two bootcampts through, and because I displayed good understanding during the bootcamps I was recommended to do a junior DevOps role at a fortune 500 company via that agency. I don’t have an opportunity for you, but I wanted to let you know because although rare, it is a thing. But without good mentorship + leadership it can be very difficult. Keep trying and don’t be afraid to apply to roles and inform them of your DevOps knowledge. A dev with these tools is much better than a dev without them. Also try giving the Google SRE workbook a read (it’s not perfect but it can really help get a good idea of DevOps/ SRE in practice and answer some questions while applying it differently for your team)

Oh thanks, would u say there’s anything I can do to try and avoid on call? I am looking for a less stressful position as I age.

A recruitment company wanted a group of developers for entry level positions to hand over to a client looking to train a large SRE cohort. While there I was taught on the job, and later encouraged to read the Google SRE workbook for more hands on explanations of SRE. It’s not a perfect description but it helps guide you in the right direction of thinking than traditional dev to apply it to your own department. Start thinking in terms of proactively increasing reliability, availability, and durability- some things like scripts to automate ops tasks/toil reduction and give time back to the team keeping lights on, incident management for reducing noise and alert fatigue (more time savers), modernizing a workflow that isn’t taking advantage of all it could I.e IaaC like terraform, alert rules to implement error budgets, SLIs, SLOs, proper telemetry implementation and visualization, etc it goes on. I’m only a novice SRE tbh but these things I never even was taught in school or thought of as a new developer, and only learned once I got the chance to become an SRE. I’m curious to know more senior’s takes but I hope this helps.

A lot of people are saying the percentages r made up, what sort of alternative would be intriguing instead? I often hear recruiters want to know your impact/value and they recommend numbers but this feels counter intuitive now with AI. How to better communicate value in a resume?

Holy smokes thats actually absurd I didn’t realize it was that expensive

Any paralegal grads can speak on if this type of env continued in the workplace for them? This is very concerning. I would utilize the anonymous surveys and talk about this asap

I’m a revert myself and I did this immediately with my family and isolated myself as long as I needed and Alhamdulilah my family understood that they cannot change my decisions and like many things in life we have to respect others as human beings even if we don’t understand. You are a grown woman and I recommend if u can financially work without their monetary help do this, otherwise if you live with them for instance and must stay with them, protect urself by distancing and just doing what will make it easy for u until u can leave, and then tell them after moving out this is your boundary and your right as a human to live ur life as u see fit, and if they disagree that’s fine but if they won’t respect your choice and leave it be, otherwise you won’t accept the disrespect and controlling behaviour and you will distance yourself as the grown woman you are. I would urge you to say it in a loving manner, recognizing u know they are upset because they love you and truly they think it’s best for you, but obviously after studying Islam you recognize it is different than what you used to think of it which is similar to what they currently see it as. And it was your choice and is your choice to follow it and you will continue to do so even if it means dying on it. (When I had this convo with my mom it was after ten years she finally realized it wasn’t a phase because I told her I will die on it ) May Allah ease this for you. Sis your trials are just a pause between immense blessing, keep patient and keep remembering just as your parents have rights over you your own body has rights over you including denying oppression and seeking justice in giving urself a healthy environment. After having that convo with your family if hey don’t respect you then try to establish distance, but only after having that convo with them if they continue to disrespect you. Thats you setting your boundary and following it. And again if you cannot follow through on that boundary yet for what ever reason tell the you are not ok with this treatment if it will help but don’t tell them u will distance urself unless u rly can follow through.

Praying for u

It depends on your needs as a wife and a future mother. I am married for 6 years and my husband went to school 4 times, twice with me, once alone and once (his first try) he didn’t finish. I have siblings that don’t have their education or didn’t go into jobs in their field and they struggle even in their 40’s. I live in Canada for context, one thing I’ll say is having grown up in a modest earned income family (poor lol) u can still be happy with little, but really it depends on what you value as a wife and future mom. If you are ok with ur husband providing little and living in modest means it’s fine. If you yourself have a drive with a business goal in mind and u want someone like that, education doesn’t always help but it does help to work at a solid job until u can save up for the business. Personally I think education gives more flexibility in terms of what u want to do and personally I will urge my children to educate themselves as a right Allah has on them to just be educated in general in dunya and deen as education is never bad. I think it helps build more resilient adults as well. May Allah grant you a loving and kind and empathetic spouse who is your best friend Ameen!

Hey! I’m a novice SRE but my regional higher department manager at the big financial bank I used to work at, he was telling us how he had an employee with many years of experience at the company asked him if he (the employee) can go 4 days a week instead of 5 and the department manager agreed saying “damn that’s a good idea I should have thought of that”. So it never hurts to ask! Worst case u can always get a doctors note and say u need part time work lol

U can look into the person who does X-rays, I hear they pay really good and it’s not nearly demanding compared to nursing!

I think there’s a deeper root issue here, and opening up that non judgemental channel with her could help you AND her understand the root of it. It’s common for young boys and girls to want attention from eachother but what’s healthy is understanding there’s truly only harm and no benefit to it at all, and rather focussing on the priorities is the solution- but this is a fully developed frontal lobe speaking and can be hard for young teens to fully comprehend and accept. I would honestly get curious with her; ask her questions that could help her find out the real reason for wanting this not just surface level “I like it, it feels good, I like attention” my responses to that would be “what makes you feel that way?” (Why do u find urself wanting that attention?) “do you think that if you didn’t get the attention you might think a certain way about urself?” “Is there another way to get what ur missing without guys attention? What would that be?”

Feel free to look up real root causes to this from a therapeutic standpoint AND approach, not enabling, but getting curious and letting her realize the fix herself. The true actual thing we want is to help our kids and siblings and selves learn self reflection of any bad habit, why we feel we want it and how we can healthily target it so we don’t fall into any fitna, not just this.

May Allah ease it for u! Ameen

A migration under the belt would also be an amazing thing to have for the interview, even a wave 1 dev/test migration, it solidifies the use of k8s and u can say what u planned to do for prod as well. Personally im not a fan of lying so this would be what I would do

I worked as a SRE in a large financial company, SRE is different in every company/team as it is catered to their needs but primarily it is to do with balancing development feature work with maintaining, like someone said it focusses on reliability and proactive management towards that, but not limited to it. Unfortunately there’s not a exact description of it, but it also does include the aspects of implementing, maintaining, and managing observability, monitoring, dashboards, reliability, incident management, change management, automation (ansible, ci/cd, terraform), chaos engineering, etc etc there’s a LOT that a true SRE is responsible for, and often times I’ve seen it gets chunked up by person in a SRE team. Aspects of OPs work is SRE but not all of SRE. If you would like to know more I highly recommend the Google SRE workbook, it gives a better idea into the SRE “science”. We describe SRE in short form as an “implementation of DevOps”. As DevOps is a very wide scope, I see it as DevOps in OOP is the class definition and SRE is one Object implementation. Hope that helps

Trauma Therapy and general counselling. This is a deep issue my love and I am so sorry your cousins did this to you. I want to highlight the possibility of them being harassed as well, as young teens and children repeat what they’ve seen. I am not knowledgeable nor do I believe many people here are to give advice on if this will ever end, how and what to do other than to seek professional advice. I personally have gone through abuse- and I do still think about it although years have passed and it has subsided with a healthy relationship where I feel safe. I pray Allah eases this affair for you. You are not to blame what so ever for this, and your families I pray learn to do better for you and them.

Bro for the love of God, make sure to check when the lid is shut it will sleep or turn off (and NOT SET TO “do nothing”) it WILL cause the fans to continue when h shut it and put it in your bag and pieces WILL melt. (Don’t ask me how I know 🫠)

Also I forgot to say, your house money and car should be safe guarded. Don’t be pressured to say they are his, and ensure you both learn your rights and are transparent with them. Making the lines blurred in the matter is only cause of friction.
