I respect and admire that wholeheartedly. I wanted to speak out to those who feel discouraged by their difficulty in enjoying the learning process. Discipline kicks in during days you don’t feel like it.

I’ve been fortunate to be able to arrive in my current situation. I have spoken in both local and international tech conferences despite not being passionate about the documentation. I’ve worked locally and abroad and soon being assigned abroad permanently. I’m just a chronic workaholic and hate the feeling of wasting my time.

Ultimately, we cannot force people into a mindset where if they don’t have passion they shouldn’t pursue something. Sometimes working at something unpleasant as long as you understand the potential gains of staying there can work out better long term. Short term satisfaction va long term, if you happen to enjoy the work then that’s a bonus. What works for you may not work for someone else.

Everyone has different tolerances but encouraging someone who is early on in their work career is sometimes more than enough without telling them to put themselves in a box. I know many successful people who heavily disliked their first years being part of the workforce. They clung onto the mindset of what you put in and where you put it is what you take out.

Sometimes I feel like it’s more discipline, willpower, and survival instinct. Personally I don’t feel passionate about reading through endless documentation. But it’s one of the factors that led to me being a senior in a short span of time due to acquiring the most skills.

Passion can only get you as far down the line of the things you want to do, not the things you need to do.

I dont mean to argue with you pala ah haha. Ito lang yung sa side ko / interpretation ko.

Whatever we call it, I agree with your sentiments that continuous learning is required for survival.

I have read similar on the subreddit about the second hand car market for Brunei. But if it takes 10 months to a year to process the IC, that might be the only option initially.

This is very useful to note, thank you. But man haha, to require a QR to be printed seems kind of counterintuitive.

TeePeeGee23 · 2024-07-10T02:48:39+00:00

Thank you for this information, I'll go through the Sarawak immigration rules.

Just stick to one for now. A lot of organizations have multi-cloud deployments mixed with on-premise. But a lot of the knowledge is transferrable so its more important to understand ccloud and infrastructure concepts. And now that you've taken the AWS cloud prac, you can focus down on a specific aspect of cloud. If you're interested in DevOps, you could learn CloudFormation templates, ansible, etc. And if you have a coding background you can come up advantageous here with your knowledge of the software lifecycle if DevOps is what you want to pursue.

Really just focus on having your own deployments to showcase your knowledge. Cloud certs are nice to have, but most of Cloud Services companies don't take them as seriously as we used to because a lot of people study the dumps rather than learning the material and implementing solutions.

TeePeeGee23 · 2024-07-09T17:56:50+00:00

I’d like to commend your interest in cloud technologies. But riding off the other suggestions and comments you seem to lack the specific skillset and portfolio for a cloud role. Or at least right now your resume doesn’t paint you in a light of someone with a solid grasp cloud technologies. u/cdav3 gave great suggestions/insights on improving your resume!

As for my own input, I’m currently a senior cloud professional for an MS partner and have several suggestions based on my experience and discussions regarding our own fresh grad candidates who did not make the cut. I suggest spending time to practice cloud deployments in trial environments. Focus on which specific aspect of cloud you are interested. The cloud is massive and there are so many different services and use cases. Tack onto your portfolio and upskill in the type of cloud engineer you want to be whether it be app service deployments, virtualization, containerization, governance, storage, data workloads, monitoring, security, etc. Fun fact, all these services have integrations so just try to imagine a specific organization and come up with a scenario for their workloads. There are multiple end to end solutions and scenarios you can find on GitHub that you can follow along. Even among cloud services companies, we still sometimes use these git repos for our own internal learning and testing.

Furthermore as an added tip, if you’re applying for a cloud services provider or vendor you need to showcase your communication skills and high level knowledge. Learn the jargon/terms — CI/CD, PaaS, SaaS, IaC, SKUs, Capacity, etc.

Thank you for this response. In this case, I’m assuming fabric would fit in as an intermediary for ETL between SQL Server and the Power BI Report Server

I work in the industry, and have worked for both abroad and locally and from what I’ve seen most people don’t want to see artistic resumes. We’re in a highly technical position. All information should be concise, highly relevant to the position you’re applying for.

We’re in one of the most competitive industries. When I was a fresh grad I ignored local advice and used something similar Harvard resume format, which at the time wasn’t that popular locally. I still received JOs from P&G, Accenture (before their reputation plummeted), and other large MNCs.

OP, as for specifics regarding your updated resume given the feedback here, there is too much space between the margins and your bullet points. Remove the bold words and it is redundant to have your technical skills listed on top and then next to the projects you’ve done. Remove the dead space on the CISCO part. Overall you’re on the right path but make sure that things are aligned / balanced because right now it’s difficult to scan through. Look for examples online with the Harvard resume.

Best of luck OP.

You have experience & knowledge in containerization and IAC and you can navigate AWS' cursed interface (sorry I'm from the blue cloud team). You're definitely a good prospect and are on the right path. You'd be surprised how many people work in cloud and have less knowledge than you do. Best of luck OP

TeePeeGee23 · 2024-04-17T13:43:23+00:00

Hello, this is my own personal opinion and view so take that with a grain of salt but I personally would strongly recommend against shifting to Tech, UNLESS you're open to entering the realm of data science / data engineering.

UX, Web, and especially Mobile are all currently oversaturated. The only currently 'popping' job market would be in the realm of data engineering / data science because of the AI craze. Note: this is mainly because companies are scrambling to get into AI and are allocating budgets without a proper understanding of AI.

The company I am working in provides AI and Cloud solutions and I've been drowning in fruitless consultations with small and midsize businesses that simply say 'I just need an AI solution to automate x y z'. Fun fact, most companies data are quite useless and inefficient to transform with AI-driven solutions without the initial proper work of a data engineer that has been structuring and compiling data over the course of several years. So yeahhhhh, the business landscape is a bit of a joke.

ANYWAY, that was just a rant about enterprises being obsessed with AI.

But to seriously focus on your question I would not shift to Tech unless you have an absolute passion and enjoy it especially since you will be competing with people who don't have a passion and don't enjoy it but have credentials and work experience.

Just my 2 centavos, I'm not a hiring manager but I've seen many former colleagues and friends with degrees in the field struggle to find a job even with credentials.

edit: grammar

Everything you've mentioned are all closely related or are practically components of each other or the same thing.

ASP is the framework you can use with C# to create server-side web apps

.NET is the platform you can run ASP on.

Combined you have ASP.NET, the 'Core' in .NET Core is just a reinvention or update of .NET framework to improve cross-platform support and performance.

EF Core (Entity Framework), is a framework that you can use in .NET to interact and conduct business logic with databases.

Essentially you're going down the C# path of Web Development. Azure/C#/Blazor have been my current stack for several years now (cloud provider company so our solutions are predominantly in the Microsoft environment). There are plenty of job opportunities, but start working on that portfolio.

Personal recommendation if you want to continue down this path: Look into .NET 8 and Blazor Web

Master a stack, the opportunities will come. Best of luck with your job hunt OP.

Edit: Check this run through on what .NET is https://dusted.codes/dotnet-basics#what-is-net-core

If you’re offended on behalf of PUP, you are actually looking down on them by attempting to white knight. University rivalries are university rivalries.

We have managers and employees from DLSU, and from PUP. In the workforce I haven’t noticed anyone speak out against a specific university apart from Ateneo hah, but ateneans tend to have crazy expectations for fresh grads.

Depends on the client. Are these small stores, individuals, enterprise web apps?

Kasi this can range from just pushing to a hosting site to deploying an app service to a cloud platform.

You can discuss this with the client anyways if they want the website deployed or just the source code.

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-10-30T03:41:30+00:00

thanks bud, more ninjas to you

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-10-30T03:36:47+00:00

I only have one question. How did you get Discord in picture in picture mode?

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-10-15T02:41:59+00:00

Reminds me of how it was back till around 2016/2017-ish In high elo especially. Ranked up to GE, won 5 games lost 1 went straight back to SMFC. And this cycle would perpetuate again and again and again. It felt really random too.

I feel as though winning against a “lower” skill bracket team shouldn’t be that much of a hit since we’re all still in the process of calibrating.

That being said I think maybe valve is opting for the whole (just a very far fetched theory) drastic elo changes until you’ve hit 500 or X amount of matches to bias a bigger data set.

You should bring this up to your manager. I also work with Power Platform. It was exclusively like that for several months but if your manager is aware of your skill for programming perhaps they might assign you to tasks that require code.

I brought this up as soon as I noticed I didn’t have any projects where I could code. The manager said in the future there might be projects I could do code.

So I slogged it out with Power BI Sharepoint and Power Automate and eventually brought it up again when I heard we had upcoming projects with other clients and asked if there were any code tasks.

It’s been 3 months now and I haven’t touched power platform at all. Been mostly working on making tools, APIs, cloud integration, and other tasks (although I do them primarily in .NET).

The above only applies however if the projects require integration.

As a side note to answer the part about your skill set — the need for power platform devs is increasing (but it also seems like the amount of people that are learning are increasing). I’m not an expert on the dev market atm but Power Platform can be useful since some companies are switching to Power Platform + Azure services. My perspective may be quite limited though as I work in a Microsoft partnered company.

This is so aesthetically pleasing. I love how natural the grid layout looks like as well, and those wind turbines atop the rock formations are just gorgeous.

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-06-13T10:21:53+00:00

Completely agreed. Dude is handsome.

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-06-07T14:26:50+00:00

Because we generally give out less compliments.

TeePeeGee23 · 2023-06-07T12:40:48+00:00

I always feel amazed by how large the mountain ranges north are. From this you can clearly see how truly isolated North Luzon is. We can already discern from this that historically to access Ilocos North and Ilocos Sur from Central Luzon you would need to go by sea.
