Never heard of 'em. I’d say most of those things, while not necessarily “scams”, are probably not worth the time you would put into them. That said, if you have free time and they pay, then it is what it is. If you go down that path, make sure to report back!
Greed. Capitalism. AI speculation. Other stuff …
Big consulting firms (e.g. Accenture) and the like. Government jobs too if you’re close to where those are. Outside that, it’s very random which companies have such openings. The bigger the company the more likely it would have a higher diversity of roles and seniority openings.
Omg. I too have developed an “affinity” for coffee as of late. Have been thinking of cutting back. There’s always tomorrow right?
I’m a KubeNoob so gotta give you props regardless 😅
Y’all doin’ cool stuff. Rust, K8s, GH automation - 💪 @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
I always recommend Wild West Hack’n Fest. Cool location and the con is pretty good.
Pretty much everyone recommends this https://www.professormesser.com
Don’t know if this counts for what you were looking for but bluetooth headphones are a game changer for me. Cleaning around the house, at the gym, on a run, etc… Very freeing compared to having the wire running into my pocket.
What do you mean?
But really, certs don’t move the needle the way they once did imo. You may be better off documenting your experience on a website rather than just having letters. This has at least been my perspective (and I have a TON of certs so I wish they were worth more)

What are you trying to do with it?
@[email protected] dropped some great resources. I also typically direct people to this resource I wrote a few years back in terms of “getting into infosec” https://shellsharks.com/getting-into-information-security.

Great advice. Thanks!
Had not heard of this. Got some reading to do 👍
I wrote a bit about the pitfall(s) of “Certification Paths” - https://shellsharks.com/notes/2023/11/14/stop-worrying-about-certification-paths.
This is coming from someone who has A LOT of certs, and I’ve learned over this time that it’s just not the right way to think about progressing career-wise. You can read more though about certs and some thoughts on what you could take here too https://shellsharks.com/training-retrospective#what-certification-or-training-should-i-take.
