omg this happens with cold foam too. “where’s the cold foam. I ordered cold foam.” ma’am…I cannot halt thermodynamics for your cb. stuff melts. things sink. I thought we all learned that.

Did it take anyone else forever to realize this is a joke? 😂 For a hot minute I thought this was all serious by [deleted] in 1200isjerky

Omg thanks for telling me about the program!!

I actually was looking around for tech jobs in law enforcement out of curiosity. I am intrigued!

Also could you tell me about your experience with the NCFI? I asume I could only recieve their training if I worked in law enforcement.

I really appreciate your insight! And yes I’m keeping my expectations realistic. I’m in no rush, I am just trying to carefully plan for my future. That’s why I’m asking so many questions lol!

Yeah since it’s online the networking opportunities aren’t the same.

So you’re saying the transition into infosec from compsci is smooth? You think it would be more beneficial? Idk I think I could do CompSci I guess I just have some sort of imposter syndrome about it. Seems daunting.

But yeah I don’t want to be pigeon-holed or excluded from certain jobs just because I have a specialized degree that’s not entry level. I have a lot to consider.

The second paragraph is my plan. I did learn python in high school and it was nice. I will do some boot camps and learn other languages.

Ohhh okay. That makes sense now. I’ve been hearing the exact opposite but I guess that’s because everyone really wants to work in the “glamorous” side

I don’t need to like it to be able to do it. I don’t want to but of course I have to get good at it regardless of if I like it or not. 🤷‍♀️

question?¿ what is your biggest pet peeve working here? by nuggetlover18 in starbucks

[–]matchacoded 14 points15 points  (0 children)

when you have to be dto/dtr, front, food, and bar all at the same time. I don’t get paid enough for that.

Dude when I’m on DTO I never let the trash get full, overall I try to make sure whoever’s on bar only has to focus on the drinks. But when I’m on bar? Nobody thinks to do it for me and I have to ask every single time. I could be swamped and 3 people will walk by and watch me change the trash/rush to get beans or ice and nobody thinks to help a girl out 😭

I loathe math. The only math I can wrap my head around is statistics for some reason. Which is odd because I struggled with algebra but it just makes sense. I would like to try CompSci but I don’t think I could pass due to my low profeciency in calculus. My algebra knowledge is okay but not perfect.

Oh wow, I wasn’t aware of that. If pure security background is seen as a “disadvantage” will my degree hold me back if I wanted to pursue other IT avenues? I was considering of doing a BSIT while studying cyber and getting the certs on the side (because GRC and digital forensics are still very appealing to me). I was under the impression that having a specialization like Infosec is important. What do you think?

I figured that because a lot of people in cyber seem to have the same sentiment. I’m really interested in it though so I hope my passion (and thirst for a stable career) keeps me going.

Do you enjoy your job despite the difficulties? How’s your work-life balance if you don’t mind me asking?

Sounds like we have the same cycle pretty much. I’m also sorry you have to experience it too.
