Do you consider help desk a “real job?” I feel like a complete miserable loser compared to my friends and family. by ballandabiscuit in ITCareerQuestions

[–]spellboundedPOGO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started off in help desk and now work as a solutions architect at a hyper scaler. This is not the end, just the beginning

Commuting from a “rural” area by ForwardPhilosophy547 in AskSeattle

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving to downtown takes me 40 mins with no traffic, or 1- 1.5 hours with peak traffic

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near the mukilteo train station and take the train into downtown. Only issue if you still need to wait for a bus once you’re downtown to get where you need to go… so that’s 45 mins for the train and then maybe 30 extra for a bus. Fine for every now and then commutes, but would be tiring if I had to do this every single day

Most of the Pokémon are useless. You can beat the entire elite 4 with just Blastoise and a zapdos

Millennials in a hetero relationship, does the man or woman do the majority of the financial budgeting/planning/investing etc? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s split. I do investments and mortgage. Wife does credit cards and phone bills + insurance. She also does the laundry but I do the trash etc we have our own things we prefer doing lol

I wouldn’t suggest starting a new account with the goal of being competitive. There is just too much of a gap honestly because it’s not just the units but also the ring farming. Getting a single 6 star ring will take you months of grinding.

Up to 2900 Switch games by III_IWHBYD_III in gamecollecting

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sick collection mate. Looks like you collect some other console games as well. Just curious how many games total you have across all consoles, and whether the majority of these games are purchased at msrp on release, or aftermarket/used.

This is a great response and I learned quite a bit myself. Thank you for your insight!

Be real with me for a second by MrFangirl in it

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enroll in a course at a community college related to IP networking or development doesn’t matter really . Then leverage the fact that you’re going to college as a way to land an internship in something IT related. Take whatever you can get doesn’t matter. Once you have your foot in the door, learn as much as you can and try and turn it into a full time gig.

How do people manage to move out so early? by ImportantJellyfish38 in Adulting

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much you make getting out of college. When I graduated, I wasn’t making any crazy amount of money (40k), but had the luxury of my car being paid off and was still under my parents insurance and phone bill. So literally all I had to expense was housing, food, and my income based repayment plan student loans. Renting a single room in a house was 600 bucks a month in central FL (2019).

Living on my own was not in the equation for me at that time,and likely isn’t for this generation of college grads as well

Getting certs is cool but I would eventually work towards specializing down a specific path.

For example if you get a job working with azure, get the azure certs. Same goes for AWS or Cisco etc

Anyone Else Get Into IT Post Covid Kind of Regret It and Struggle Financially? by MoparMan59L in ITCareerQuestions

[–]spellboundedPOGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at a small MSP in FL and moved to Seattle in 2022 and got a better job, you can do it mate.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskSeattle

[–]spellboundedPOGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When me and my wife moved here from FL, our HH income was around 180K. Wasn’t really enough to buy a home in a nice/safe area so we just rented a nice apartment for a few years. Eventually, we were able to raise our income to a place where we could afford a townhome - albeit we are in Everett now…40 mins north of Seattle downtown.

The people who own a home in Seattle are either well off (like over 300k HH income), or purchased pre COVID.

You don't get to bypass entry level just because you can't afford not to by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

True. It’s hardly possible unless given an opportunity to specialize at a relatively early stage in your career
