women are retards and almost the 90% of them are there because some guy wants his peepee wet (but also fails because she don't want to bang him).
that's my experience, never trust women.

Did you hear about the tech drama this week?

For those working helpdesk, can you see your own/your team's metrics or is that only for managers?

>Help desk job tomorrow
I'm scared bros

what happened?

Bitch, I _AM_ the tech drama this week.

One wonders why there are so few women in the industry with colleagues like this. Really makes you think.

The vast majority of women have two options for getting into tech: diversity hiring, and failing by their own merits because their brains are made for empathy and not for critical thinking.
Very, very rarely you will meet a competent woman in tech but they always have man-like personalities.

How did you guys get your first proper jobs? Autist here trying to get my first but trying to get over the quintillion years of experience issue (even though I've been doing freelance shit for about a year).

>Very, very rarely you will meet a competent woman in tech but they always have man-like personalities.
Or more likely born a man. [spoiler]I got one of those freaks on my team[/spoiler]

First job? Help wanted.
First PROPER job? Nepotism into a small business gig into an embellished resume into a government job.

I mean biological women. Funnily enough the only one I've ever met was easier to get along with than the troons.

bachelors in IT and A+ got me a help desk job, studied for CCNA over the course of 6ish months and now work at a NOC making decent money

now debating whether I want to continue with networking and cloudshit or try and shift into the cybersecurity meme

Is job hopping determined per company or per position? I moved internally within my company. Considering moving companies after a year

Women are easy to talk to, but Ive never had a female team member as a dev. I like talking to the women in other teams after work.
I got scammed into a bootcamp that basically owned me, but the jobs they got me were with good companies and set me up.

Get really lucky, I got a 50k/year helpdesk job with zero experience, actually zero, never had a tax-paying job before. Now I'm studying for the Sec+ and am hoping to leave helpdesk in around a year for greener pastures.

Got a degree in computer engineering, just applied on their website in my senior year, did the interviews, and got the job.

Still no idea how it all worked out.

Remote part time PhD in cyber operations from Dakota state university, y/n? Finishing my master’s from SANS this year. The PhD would be more about low level programming and computer architecture, which is relatively my weakness (still more knowledgeable than 99% of Any Forums in it)

>3 months until graduation
I don't know if I'm ready bros

This is a random bot that goes around generals asking if they've seen the latest X drama

What are you optimizing for? If it's money then industry experience better than education in tech 100% of the time.

My current manager went insane when he saw my YouTube channel. I accepted the job offer for $130k and he gave me $20k more salary, without me asking. Video is the medium of the future

I haven't done a thing in months and I was just recommended for a promotion by my boss. It's all because I sound smart in meetings

military clearance, then tech bootcamp and its placement manager got me a 6 figure clearance job

I’m already working full time. I would be doing the PHD on top of that

Per company

The OP pics are so similar that I legitimately keep wondering whether I've stumbled into the archive.

We could see them at my previous job, down to the last detail and in real time.

Wait work can see what I'm doing on my computer and have it logged?
