Cybersecurity Lawyer /u/Common_Career1826 CSCQ protests reddit

I’ve done my associates at a community college in Computer Information Security and will be starting my Bachelors at WGU in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance and want to eventually go to Law school afterwards. I wanted to hear opinions on if this would be a good idea and if it would be worth spending the extra money on law school to become a cybersecurity lawyer. Would I make more money if i did that to make the extra costs justifiable? Or should I just get my bachelor’s at WGU and stop there?

which AWS cert (if any) should i get /u/1-800-EDC-STAN CSCQ protests reddit

i’m thinking of getting an AWS cert. either “Developer Associate” or “Solutions Architect Associate”.

my goal is to move the needle a bit when applying to SWE internships. Developer Associate sounds a little more relevant, but I see Solutions Architect recommended more frequently. that could just be because Developer is newer, though. i personally have no preference

should i get Developer or Solutions Architect—or would neither help at all?

Is TPM a good career to go into? /u/sam123345568 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m a uni student with a programming based internship already completed but I’ve got a technical program manager internship upcoming this summer and just wondering about it as a future actual career. I applied for the internship solely because I think I’ve got a good skill set for it and it seemed interesting with a good company too but I had never really looked into TPM as a future career.

Thinking of taking a masters relating to management (will complete my cs bachelors this year) but don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket if TPM or PM is a somewhat risky or tough to get work like software engineering is at the moment.

If you are looking for work this sub is your own worst enemy /u/No_Thing_4514 CSCQ protests reddit

I used to frequent this sub while looking for work over the past 3 months.

Rather than giving you insight and motivation the discourse on this sub is actively detrimental towards your mental health and confidence in your abilities.

All the negativity, all the “skill issue” tryhards all the “unless you have a masters in CS you are screwed now bro” people. All the doom and gloom is literal cancer.

For context I’ve been in the industry about 2 years now. Started learning around 3 years ago. Self taught. College degree unrelated.

Just landed my 3rd industry job after drowning out all the outside noise and once again betting on myself. ITS STILL POSSIBLE.

Just avoid these cesspools of negativity. Believe in your skill and keep plugging at it daily.

The only thing stopping you is you, but if you listen to outside noise like the doomers on here you will be permanently paralyzed.

Unemployable? /u/descent-into-cto CSCQ protests reddit

This past year, I have had two software engineering jobs and have been fired from both. I am currently unemployed and not bothering to look for a job (for now, at least). Before this, I had been a software engineer (and occasionally a CTO) for over 20 years.

I have a wife and two kids to support. I need a paycheck. Ideally, in the next few months.

I taught myself to program as a child. I got a degree in Computer Engineering. I had always loved programming. But, when I got my first job I discovered that I did not love programming nearly as much when I was being paid to do it. Sometimes it was good (or at least, good enough). Sometimes I did well. But, eventually I would get bored, then feel like a worthless failure, because my work wasn’t exciting. I would get (often severely) depressed. My work would suffer. I would get bad reviews. Or sometimes I would think I was doing well, but I would get a bad (or not entirely positive) review and that would trigger the depression — making it harder to work.

Over the years, the general theme of the feedback in my reviews has been: high quality, low quantity, lacking a sense of urgency. Although, these past two times I was fired, the reason given was more or less that I wasn’t engaged or learning what I needed to about the product/architecture — ie I was indifferent, bored and depressed.

Sometimes I think my managers perceive my depression as a lack of urgency. After all, when you want to die, it’s hard to act as if anything matters.

I first remember becoming suicidally depressed at 17. It’s been a lot of ups and downs since then. My mood swings are frequent and sometimes extreme. So, if I had a couple bad days, they would usually be followed by one or more good days. I would try to use good days to make up for bad days. Sometimes there are a lot of bad days in a row though.

I’ve been on psych meds in 2013. I’ve started a couple new ones though. I’m also in the middle of a two-week program of four hours of group therapy a days. I’m trying harder then ever to get better. I don’t really believe I every will. I feel defeated and hopeless.

But, even if I do: How can I recover from being fired twice in a year? Is it hopeless?

thanks

Impending crisis in tech recruitment /u/doobltroobl CSCQ protests reddit

As reported by several national news outlets, the last available binary tree has been in inverted today, at around 9:30 AM by an unnamed candidate. “This was a long time coming,” an industry expert commented, “but nobody cared to have candidates un-invert trees. So yeah, now we’ve ran out if it.”

Various solutions have already been proposed to provide tech recruiters with the same rigorous assessment process as binary tree inversion. Some have suggested televised championships of tic-tac-toe, while others cited lotteries as a more efficient use of recruiters’ time.

An industry insider quipped that these suggestions are in fact “just PR gimmicks,” while in reality recruiters are planning on organizing hunger games for the upcoming March recruitment season.

“Rest assured, these are just wild conspiracy theories,” assured us the representative of a monopolistic tech giant from the Blackrock portfolio of monopolistic tech giants.

Newly released information show that the candidate responsible for this crisis was unsuccessful. “Unfortunately, they just didn’t have the proper skills in the C family of languages for the junior JavaScript web scraper role he was a applying for,” commented an anonymous source close to the recruiter. The job involved 5 years experience in the Magento framework and 7 in the Scala scripting language.

The question on everybody’s mind is, was it worth it?

We will keep you update as this crisis unfolds.
