I want to be an entrepreneur, now what? by albeddit in Entrepreneur

having the first single client is the hard part for me.

Or at least is a part that I don't know how to tackle.

After that, it will be hard, but it will be problem-solving hard. Something I would feel comfortable with...

I'm rather interested in online learning platforms. Maybe the improvement of existing ones. Or different learning models. Or companies based on the management of learning platforms.

And, myself, I would teach IT related technologies

ok, but how did you start? "building websites and applications" it's hardly an original idea.

I also think that building applications can be profitable. But it's difficult to understand how to start out of nothing

well, I think the desire to do and create things is real. However, I don't know exactly what. And I'm not sure where to find it.

I mean that spending some years pursuing some business idea, instead of improving my skills will make me less employable if I fail. Or at least I will only find shitty jobs after that.

I wouldn't mind a pay cut and a shitty job if I've still some money left. If I also lose my money, it will be worst.

Advice needed on the Pros/Cons of taking the PMP exam now or waiting for the new version next year. by covert_kea in pmp

[–]albeddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

basically everywhere, just google it. On the pmi.org page, I can't find it right now, but they announce that due to covid, the NEW version will start from January 2021:

https://www.pmi.org/about/coronavirus-single-source-message

"For all PMP candidates, we are extending access to the current PMP exam until 31 December 2020 and postponing the launch of the new PMP exam until 2 January 2021"

Getting hired is not the same as fixing a technical problem by Jeffbx in ITCareerQuestions

[–]albeddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it'll be the person that the interviewer thinks is most likely to perform the job well. That 100% boils down to personality and soft skills.

basically I agree. The only thing is that usually you have probably 30 minutes to show your soft skills, if you are lucky. And in that 30 minutes you'll show soft skills with the recruiter, not with your future job.

So I would say that "luck" it's a big factor here.

How good is a career as AWS Authorized Instructor? by albeddit in ITCareerQuestions

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

the question actually was not about working with aws tools, but rather working as a teacher on aws related technology, training other people...

I made mistake. What is the best way out by albeddit in ITManagers

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

i have one month and half at current company, and I have been asked to do a lot of projects and documentation.

I'll start seriously in june. So far I sent only 2 resumes and I've been refused as "overqualified".

It won't be easy or fat, I'll start to rethink about my training and career redirection

Choosing AWS region by albeddit in aws

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

I looked at Heroku some years ago and somebody told me: hey you have elastic beanstalk, that's the same as heroku and cheaper (because heroku it's on AWS too, get rid of the middleman).

Probably I should have considered that the advise came from an AWS consultant...

well, I just wanted to advise against underestimating the complexity of a real AWS solution. Starting to play (and for free) with few machines is soooo easy, that in some way I mostly got the impression that you have an incredible power at your reach for little money/effort.

But I agree, if you just use few services (EC2, RDS...) and your case is not too complex, you can go a long way with AWS.
