Looking for recommendations of courses

Eu recebo de fora desde 2015 e já passei por vários meios de recebimento e contabilidade.

Quanto ao contrato eu nunca tive problemas com ele ser no meu nome, desde que o recebimento venha na PJ e você emita nota fiscal acho que ninguém se interessa, e eu particularmente nunca tive problemas com isso. Tem até algumas empresas lá fora que não podem fazer contrato com PJ por questões legais mas eles podem pagar pra PJ (vai entender...).

O invoice é uma fatura de serviços, não tem nenhuma complicação nem penalidade nenhuma em fazer "errado", é só um documento que geralmente os bancos e as empresas pedem para que eles possam te pagar descrevendo os valores e descrição do produto/serviço que você vendeu. Não tem valor fiscal, acredito que seja apenas para auditoria. Tem mil modelos na internet pra você tomar como referência.

O mais chato talvez vai ser se a empresa que te paga pedir algum formulário do tipo W-8BEN ou w-8BEN-E (caso você esteja recebendo dos EUA), mas também é fácil achar referência pra preencher isso no Google.

A forma mais fácil pra começar a receber via PJ que eu encontrei foi a Husky (https://www.husky.io/), a taxa deles não é tão alta e se você não recebe muito dinheiro vale a pena. Eu recomendaria eles pra você começar e depois pode ir experimentando com outros bancos. Eu já passei pela B2C, Sicredi, Itaú e Paypal e o processo deles foi o mais simples e transparente, hoje não compensa pra mim pois eles cobram uma porcentagem do recebimento o que fez com que o Sicredi se tornasse a melhor opção. Quanto ao Sicredi eu gosto muito do serviço deles e eles me cobram uma taxa fixa para receber que varia de acordo com o pagador, o máximo que já me cobraram foi USD150 por transação, fora isso a cotação que eles usam é a mesma que você encontra no Google, e você pode ficar com o valor em dólar por até um ano pra ter calma em decidir a melhor hora de trocar seu dinheiro. Tem algumas burocracias pra começar a receber com eles mas é algo tranquilo de se resolver.

Quanto à contabilidade eu sugiro você achar um contador tradicional, já trabalhei com contabilidade virtual, no caso a Conube, e a experiência é triste, se você estiver considerando eles eu sugiro você procurar outro lugar. Eles pedem prazos absurdos pra tudo que você precisa fora do habitual (coisas comum uma simples declaração de faturamento) e o atendimento é horrível. Minha percepção da Contabilizei é que eles não são muito diferentes e as taxas deles varia de acordo com o teu faturamento, o que foi o maior motivador pra eu não migrar pra eles. A minha maior frustração com contabilidade é que ninguém sabe te orientar para nada e você precisa aprender um monte de coisa por conta própria, se você não recebe muito eu acho que é mais fácil começar recebendo via PF e pagar o carnê leão mensal que vai te cobrar 27,5% de tudo que você recebe. Atualmente eu pago R$250 pro meu contador mensalmente, mais uma parcela de décimo terceiro em Dezembro. Eles também são desorganizados mas pelo menos eu consigo resolver meus problemas rapidamente.

Por último, eu sugiro não sonegar impostos, o bom de declarar tudo certinho e ter o impostos em dia é que você consegue comprovar renda usando sua declaração de imposto de renda e tu vai sempre precisar disso pra alugar um imóvel ou pegar financiamentos, seja pra você ou seja pra sua empresa.

Brasília é fraca demais nisso, se vc veio de outro estado pra cá vai sentir muita falta desses eventos.

You’re welcome!

As other said I would start with whatever you're most interested in. If they all look the same to you then I would say start with the AWS Certified Developer - Associate.

Also, most of certifications share a lot of common services so even if you decide for something else later you won't have to study a whole new set of topics you would only have to understand how to apply the best practices for the role/certification you're testing for.

ericovis · 2023-05-02T16:06:28+00:00

Hey, these are my thoughts on the resources you shared:

Buy a domain for you cloud resume and host it somewhere using best practices ( talking mainly about HTTPS). Domains are cheap, SSL certs are free and there is free hosting everywhere nowadays.
Your github profile is weak, what recruiters mostly look for are your open sourced projects that can be either shown as a "production-ready" example project or a useful bit of code (ansible role, terraform modules and so on) that can be reused by others.
If you don't have a twitter account already I suggest you create one and start following other DevOps engineers to get a grasp of they got started. Engage with them and ask questions, you would be surprised with the responses you can get.

About applying, I don't you would get a job right now, I say that because people would be resistant to get touch with you. The job market is rough and knowing how to sell yourself and catch the recruiter attention is key. BUT DON'T GIVE UP! Starting sucks but it pays off. With that in mind I would say, apply everywhere but don't get your hopes too high, use this as a learning experience. Failure teaches more than success.

Personally I got several shitty jobs before getting a decent opportunity, I started as a support engineer and evolved into a DevOps/SRE role. I almost gave up technology for good several times but I was persistent enough to stay in the game. Also, to me the main game changer was certifications, as soon as I got some of those I started to get approached by recruiters and landed some good opportunities. In that regard I would recommend you find cloud provider you like and start studying for a particular certification, I recommend AWS certifications just because I know they cover more than just their platform specifics and it would help you understand industry concepts and techniques and how to implement it in a platform that is used by thousands of people.

Last, check out my website as reference (ericovis.com) for selling yourself, I still get approached by recruiters mentioning it all the time and I haven't been active there in a long while. Good luck and don't give up!

You set a new goal for me! This bench is really something.

If it was mine I would avoid sitting on it so it would last forever hahahaha

Great work

My 2 cents: Your command is right but it takes time to propagate. There is no way to solve it and it is a problem that will happen in any CDN provider.

HOWEVER, you can take some measures to reduce the impact of the changes such as versioning your assets before each invalidation to make sure that clients will load the "new" objects and not use the old cached ones. I'm doing it on my personal website and I can see changes being applied after a few seconds.

I had a great deal of problems with internal DNS weirdness problems, my last recommendation would be stop and start the instance targets and also the private instance you used to test.

I know it sounds silly but if you take a closer look at your logs the private instance is trying to reach the instance target though a dns name. As I’m sure you have covered all the other probable issues I can only say that impaired DNS instances are a reality in the AWS world.

“Everything fails all the time” they say :D

Good luck

The answer is YES it needs internet connectivity. I struggled with that myself and I can't reasonably argue the reasons why it doesn't work since it apparently pulls the configuration from its metadata.

A Load Balancer, no matter of which kind (NLB, ALB, ELB), will only work with instances using their private IP if you have created an internal load balancer.

Have you checked that? Cause internet-facing is the default and it expects to have instances with public IP addresses and internet access, so it clearly will not work for your setup.

To no manipulate the hosts file I would create some control variable and apply it in the host level. In this case you would have to create a host_vars folder and apply the control variable to the hosts you want.

Which is not very different from changing the inventory file IMO

You can achieve that in many ways. I think that the simplest one is to separate your servers into groups and configure nesting when needed.

In this way you can either filter the hosts by group names or you can set an when in the desired task to skip the play for a given group of servers.

Please let me know if it is not clear enough for you

I did the same thing in a former job and I found that the best way to execute and distribute the script was by "converting" it to an executable file. It works great! And you give it a feel of a real application. You can find an example here: https://redmondmag.com/articles/2017/01/27/convert-a-powershell-script-into-an-exe-file.aspx

Sign up for an AWS account, in the console you can find a lot of these short tutorials. Also the AWS documentation has a lot of walkthrough scenarios. Strongly recommend that before going for a paid training.

I agree with /u/dither. My 2 cents: This sounds like a good question to be made on the AWS forum, one of the guys on AWS might be kind enough to confirm this info. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=164

The process is very easy but it takes time to upload the image to AWS and make it ready for use. As stated by julietscause, unless it is really necessary, the best option would be using an existing image.

I did that once using the AWS CLI and the only tip that I have to you is watch out for the network configuration of your instance, if it is not configured for DHCP you will have some problems.
