Whats cost of living like over there? Software Test Engineers is a 6 figure job over hereMan I don't even make 35k in a year from my job
My title is "Software Test Engineer" and I feel like I got a really good contract at €2000/month net.
I’m in QA man. I’m looking for another job right now. No openings at my current job but I’ll legit give you a reference at my new job, once I get one, or at my old place once I leave, assuming they’ll have it open. You’re heavily underpaid my guy and it looks like you’ve got the skills to be paid a lot more. I’ll keep you posted and hopefully I can actually get a new job. Markets slow af here.Man I don't even make 35k in a year from my job

Congrats. That’s huge especially with the 8570/8140 finesse.Somehow someway I’ve finessed my way into another position that requires Security + which I still don’t have yet. Had the initial phone screen with recruiter at the beginning of the month, had a virtual interview with the operations director and program manager, follow up interview two days later with operations director, then today got the offer letter and that they want to start me without waiting for me to get the Security +.
Apparently they were extremely impressed during the interview because I answered every question perfectly. I’ll be honest, I’m terrible with interviews for the simple fact I can show you better than explaining it so I was surprised this process took less than 2 weeks.
35k increase along with a lead title now. Slightly further commute but it’ll workout since I’ll be going in at 6am which will let me beat traffic. They will maintain my TS clearance even though it only requires secret so that was another plus. They’ll also reimburse me for the security + voucher once I pass it.
I received the email while I’m in the office and dam near shed some tears man I’m so happy
Two different mindsets. 1) Take the test when you’re ready. Hopefully, you’re doing practice tests like Boson, etc. Or 2) YOLO and take the test to see where you are, use luck, or reconnaissance.Supposed to take the second half of my a+ this Saturday but I think I’m gonna reschedule it.. I’ve been slacking on studying I’m only halfway through the Mike Meyers course. I want to have at least a few days of practice tests/reviewing
I couldn’t get a voucher with a retake so I’m not trying to fail
Let’s see how the week goes..
Thanks man. I’m still trying to figure out how I keep finessing these jobs without my sec +Congrats. That’s huge especially with the 8570/8140 finesse.

I took the renewal test for my Azure Administrator cert. If it wasn’t the biggest attempt of trivia pursuit!! They literally pull the questions from the lower levels of hell. It’s not timed or require a secure browser. You’d likely need an active Azure account, luck or Dr Google.
Going to try to make my way through AZ700, Azure Networking Solutions. Trying to make my way up to architect so I can shift from standard networking to a growing and in demand IT segment.
Definitely willGet in where you can fit in. Especially if they’re willing to throw the bag.
I remember my old company found I was leaving indirectly because I was going through a gov clearance process. These fools basically said you can look at our current openings and see if you like anything and apply. They wanna do everything but give you a raise. Glad I dipped outta thereDefinitely will
I found it funny when I sent my resignation email to my subcontractor, they hit me saying “what is it we can do to keep you?” I told them the salary, they immediately came back “yeah we can’t match that, so sad to have you leave.”
The pay wasn’t the only issue. It was absolutely no incentives to staying further than 6 months and even that is being generous. This is the most I’ve been paying for insurance (which apparently isn’t even top tier), PTO days are absolutely horrible and there’s no type of advancement. This is a dead end position with no realistic career progress.I remember my old company found I was leaving indirectly because I was going through a gov clearance process.

Can you expand on the last 2? I don’t remember seeing them while studying? dinyc3stCongrats.
Heads up w Core 2 PBQ’s just in case:
-Disk partitioning
-3 workstations with a a bunch of fill in the blanks for “Hostname, GPO, IP and Domain.” you MUST click on the monitors on each of the workstation to open CMD. Then type help and the answers should be self explanatory
-live chat asking to adjust the IMAP ports
-two tickets w one being a printer issue with the wrong IP and BSOD
If you can perform well on those then you’ll do fine.
I highly suggest you get Jason Dion’s practice exams once you’re finished studying. If you have any questions you can DM or reply
Yea I’m taking my test either tmrw or Thursday. Gonna review tonight and take some practice tests and see what happens. I failed the my itf and first half of a+ the first time each but it’s not even that big of a deal, it tells you what you need to study. Only thing is for those I got vouchers with retakes but this time they didn’t have any so I gotta drop the $249 again if I failCongrats. That’s huge especially with the 8570/8140 finesse.

IMAP is designed for a specific port number 143/993 for sending and receiving emails. The PBQ basically mocks a chat stating that it’s not set. You’ll then fix it by correcting the IMAP port number.Can you expand on the last 2? I don’t remember seeing them while studying? dinyc3st
You hit it on the head. Your own management chain and direct reports are more of a headache than the work itself.Anyone ever get in to management in IT and realize that it's not for them? Started with the company in January and had a team of 1. Now it's a team of 5 and I feel like I got more done by myself than working with a team. Constantly repeating myself and guys just not getting it. My boss on my *** about guys who truly are overpaid for the work they fail to do. I'm transitioning to Sr Sys Admin from Helpdesk Manager. At first I thought it was a bad idea, but as the days go on I'm cool with it.
I swear!!You hit it on the head. Your own management chain and direct reports are more of a headache than the work itself.
