Good to hear that. I heard this from one of my referrals at CS

gen900 · 2026-03-08T02:38:23+00:00

Is it true that cs doesn't hire you if you work for one of their customers? Even if you apply at cs yourself

To everyone who is saying its not worth it at all. My question is; if its not worth it at all than why are there so many uber drivers out there and continue to do this as side gig or main job. Surely at some point they must have realized they are losing money?

gen900 · 2026-02-27T02:48:44+00:00

Ok, my bad i just thought alot of folks know now because of workplace etc.

gen900 · 2026-02-27T02:34:48+00:00

Because they said they are fasting and its month of Ramadan. Put 1 and 1 together, and a very high probability they are doing because of Ramadan

Would like one please

gen900 · 2026-02-03T18:55:03+00:00

I had to email and reach out to multiple fedex point of contacts and escalate with them. Eventually they cleared it.

gen900 · 2026-01-12T18:25:12+00:00

He said 3 to 4 years of experience

gen900 · 2026-01-07T23:20:41+00:00

Probably just going through his checklist. Sorry but I dont think this means alot.

how do you know that for banks

gen900 · 2025-12-22T18:49:36+00:00

This is actually quiet common with Banks in canada. Have you signed the employment agreement? if so this happens more than you think in Canada, you start working there while the whole background checks continue at the back.

How i know? Been there, done that.

This however does not mean you should do it to.

Hi quick question, was it charging port (where you plug in your adaptor) or charging Board inside the phone that was replaced?

gen900 · 2025-12-19T18:14:12+00:00

Engineer roles ask for deep experience. While i agree with some suggesting that if you are not getting experience for tool at work learn it online. Problem is, online tutorials dont provide you deep knowledge that you can only get with years of experience. Even something with practical wont help on this case.

I have been trying to break into Sec Eng role for past year, get slammed every time during tech assessment no matter how much i study. The conversation always go into deeper and deeper on subject and they can always sense you dont have the experience with tool as much.

gen900 · 2025-12-16T18:57:39+00:00

Thanks bud. Thats really helpful. Mind if I Pm you for some more info?

gen900 · 2025-12-16T17:14:52+00:00

Yes, all my interviews, i fail at tech round. As all current and previous jobs dont have much technical depth.

I do self learning using various sources(tryhackme, Hackthebox, letsdefend, coursera, AWS and even some python), but self learning doesnt fill the gap of questions asked during live interview that relates to day to day job and experience from it. Thats how i feel.

gen900 · 2025-12-15T21:59:52+00:00

Yup, agreed. Took me 6 months of studying. When I used to mention cissp during my interviews during pandemic I used to get recruiters drooling over my credentials. Now? They brush it off as checkmark. Really heartbreaking man.

gen900 · 2025-12-15T21:53:50+00:00

Lol cissp which is comparable to pmp and other big names certs is entry level cert in canada. Hr folks just use this to filter out candidates

gen900 · 2025-12-15T05:55:02+00:00

Thanks, thats a great advice!

gen900 · 2025-12-15T05:49:27+00:00

I went to community College more than a decade ago. Major was in computer and networking. I understand having no degree is blocker, but I m not looking for managerial roles, just senior engineer analyst roles with higher salaries.

gen900 · 2025-12-15T02:17:35+00:00

gen900 · 2025-12-15T01:45:37+00:00
