Do you use job sites like Clearancejobs.com?

And have you heard of this company before?

Advancing Data & Analytics Potential Together: Adapt

Through the Advancing Data & Analytics Potential Together (ADAPT) program, new graduates and unemployed data workers are granted access to free data science and analytics learning courses

No, I haven't used Clearance Jobs, but I will check it out. Yes, I did an interview with a company using Alteryx products, so I glanced the website, but I have not heard of the ADAPT program. Thank you so much for the information! The role I recently applied for is something I want to do. Straight from the description: Visualization and analysis of business process data, Workflow analyses, Defining business architecture design requirements, SQL query experience for pulling data, Tableau experience, etc.

And that's what I want to do, that combination of technical but also business.If I don't hear anything by Thursday, I'm going to sign up for that ADAPT program and get started by next week. It said it takes 4-6 business days to process and 1-3 months to complete it, plus it's free? Even if I land the role, I'm going to sign up, but after I get settled in.

Since ive had to come into the office twice a week since rona popped off i decided to work all day in here for the rest of the week. I should be able to get a lot done with it being so quiet.

Taking Friday off too, i need these 4 days to just relax

My company will likely have WFH until the end of the year. I'm thinking about doing a 2 days a week in the office and the rest from home.

Let us know if it's any good.

I start a new job next month. But if this one doesn't work out I'm switching fields away from Cybersecurity.

so...i thought maybe i'm not allocating enough RAM for the VM, pushed it to 4096 or something like that. My shyt was slower than dial-up, had to force restart my MBP


I'm determined to figure this out on my own
I got to. How can I aspire to become a security analyst and can't install a vm

 

[Secure Da Bag]

How can I aspire to become a security analyst and can't install a vm

Your job is to analyze the security. Not install it. Take heart in that.

I hope you aren't using VirtualBox? I always followed those tutorials on YouTube for VMware workstation.

aight. let's figure this out again. I know offrip vmware isn't free (right? ) i'll look at how much it is

good point. I guess I'm still in the "what do i really wanna do phase"

Will do.

I know you've probably mentioned it before, but what field are you in now and what's not working out, if you don't mind me asking? I like the data/visualization path I'm on, but I think I'll always struggle with company culture/politics, so ultimately I know I need to build something of my own. Preferably, I'd like to wait until I'm more solid financially. I want to "have fun" with it, not be stressed about paying bills and stuff like that. Even if I never start my own company, at least I know I can yield a "decent" salary.
