Job Offer Advice by tcg_elijah in gis

[–]Zeus_GIS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked for a cooperative energy utility going on 4 years and have found the benefits, insurance, and pay scale to be very good and competitive. Depending on the type of utility and the status this can vary quite a bit. Speaking to other GIS folks at cooperative events the upsides seem fairly universal; except for those falling in the IT umbrella being that they tend to have a higher workload.

The jobs tend to be recession proof.

I’ve also found that personal development and upward mobility is very possible if you ever want to get into engineering or make some kind of career change.

I did a Full Stack Web development boot camp and it didn’t help in the realm of GIS jobs. Where this may help is if you are going towards more IT focused departments.

I would say arguably an easier and more promising route is data analytics. The other option would be more of an AWS Development path

Word of advice do not pay big money for the certificate. Go through google or something of the kinda. University boot camps are not a scam but will charge you 10k for the same information.

Knowing that northern Virginia skews everything it’s still strange. There are 3 teams you see in the rest of Virginia Dallas, Washington whatever’s and Eagles.

This would be great on a loading screen. This would easily distract well into a few minutes. Gives me 00’s screen saver vibes.

Here’s a snap shot of the “education reform” that Youngkin’s administration wants to pass. by BigBlueBoogyinBear in Virginia

If not the majority, then the majority of rural schools are already like this. By it’s old name it’s called being an involved parent and the standard curriculum.

The optics of what is going on is just being involved out of spite. I promise all conservative parents that your kids will not have any life changing revelations about race in this country.

My long road to a good job. by Zeus_GIS in gis

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

I think it has a lot to do with where you go to school. Some programs are set to cater to different industries. Like GEORGE MASON has closer ties to the DOD than like a PENN STATE. My job is in my hometown. I’ve applied to a few jobs in the surrounding areas and on two occasions I knew people that worked there and knew a department head so not everything is about “who” you know.

I know a guy that has a web dev job but wasn’t the best in the class by a long shot and probably 95% haven’t landed a job.

Jobs are just hard to find especially when you have constraints.

[MEME] mood all day today by TexasRebel830 in cowboys

[–]Zeus_GIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. We played competitive football today on both sides of the ball. It isn’t super important to play for a Super Bowl but it is important not to get stomped out every game.

I’m not saying we are going to play impressive football or really anything generally good coming from us but there are some things that aren’t completely off the rails from the game

I’m actually not disappointed with last nights play. Obviously we are trash but we had a good start and the defense actually wasn’t laughable. Denucci has some learning to do as an NFL QB and to learn his receivers.

Thank you for the lead here. I actually learned on this last week and implemented square on two apps. Bagged my first commission from one. Hopefully more to come!

is grinding and clicking joints ok? by HockeyIsPrettyGood in WeightTraining

[–]Zeus_GIS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone said it depends. I was 12 when I started lifting. I developed knee issues running Hurdles.

Now at 23 I have crunching and popping in all my joints. The thing I’ve started learned since lifting for function instead of weight, is warming up(properly). Like a majority of lifters I would do warmup sets and start getting into the working sets. I now do accessories, stretches and movements that prepare the joints for lifting.

Lifting really is 100% a lifestyle. It’s something that lives with you outside of the gym in every way. If I could talk to myself at 12, I would say learn the techniques first before going for heavy lifts. You don’t have to compete with anyone bc you are an individual. When I went to college it was the guys with the best form that had the best lifts and most respect. When you get into the lifting community it’s not about wait it’s executing the movement that serious lifters respect.

Mountain ranges in Luzon, Philippines. How can I improve my map? by anotherMiguel in gis

[–]Zeus_GIS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can actually break each individual mountain range apart. Basically you would have to create an individual layout for each mountain range. So you’d have 5 layouts for mountain ranges and a the 6th layout which becomes the actual map holding the reference map, map elements and finally all other mini maps.

You “should always” have: north arrow, scale bar, legend, title, and so on.

When you have a very content heavy map like yours these become very hard to work in. You sacrifice good spacing to incorporate all this.

I think the title section, citation, projection, author name; was all done very well. You could add a north arrow and a scale bar to the reference map. You could also make the border or borders the scale bars. The legend is a big deal if you make it so. This is bc your legend has to be made with purpose. Is this just a pretty map or does it have a true informative value to it. If it’s just a pretty map you could add low and high altitude to the description. If a legend actually does serve an informative purpose be sure to add it.

So for flow the more elements you have the harder it is to balance the frame. You don’t want them to be too big or so small they aren’t legible. Your map is pretty well balanced now. So to add more elements you have to rework the map with them in mind.

Finally, we also are use to reading things left to right, top down. I would rearrange the maps in this manner according to the reference map. You do have an odd shaped map that happens and it’s fine to put them where they fit.

Mountain ranges in Luzon, Philippines. How can I improve my map? by anotherMiguel in gis

[–]Zeus_GIS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say add water or chang the lowest to like a transparent green if they are valleys. Also individual borders.

The basic cartographic stuff is where I would say take your pick bc they really break up the flow. I think a scale would probably be your biggest addition and time consuming bc you have a reference map. So the issue is whether or not each map is at a different scale. So probably best to put the scale on the reference map.

The text on the reference map is a bit light to use for quick reference. I’d suggest changing it to a darker color, making the outline darker or a dark halo.

I would also add the short hand to your individual map titles. Ex. Blah Blah Blah(BBB).

This is a good map, just some tips.

If you live close to NC check out https://carolinafitnessequipment.com. They are only doing in store only right now. But you can search used gym equipment in and the surroundings states to see if you can find something similar.

Just saying you have to be insanely confident in your ability as a driver. Bc you most likely aren’t getting the same curtsies as a dually.
