Took a city test that I had no confidence I'd pass. Ended up with the 3rd highest score and 4 years later I got the call.
Something I applied for via indeed. Not sure when, but they reached out to 11/1 and my first day was 11/13. Not six figures but mid $90’s, so enough for me.
My specialty is around business analysis, data and reporting. I kinda lucked into it. I started doing helpdesk for a company that also provided canned reporting apart of their software. Then moved into a Jr. database admin role, that included reporting/dashboards and that’s been my focus ever since.
I switched my major to M.I.S and was introduced to SQL and relational databases, which aligned with the DB admin role and that kind of started the degree plus related experience thing and eventually allowed me to command more. In 2016, I decided to focus solely on Sr. Level dat/reporting or Developer roles because I wanted six figures.
and two years later I landed the Sr. BI Developer role I’m at now. My next move it to obtain certifications so I can ask for more when this contract is over.

I found my position on a random Google search, applied, and the HR rep hit me back at like 10 at night. That was the start of a 2 month hiring process which then they gave me an offer letter which was

Recruiter married a guy I worked with at another company. She came to job and told me she was interested interviewing me. Interviewed 2 days later. Got job.

It’s money in this IT shyt and I’m just trying to get my little slice of it. At the same time, corporate life doesn’t suit me at all. I’m working on a military base now and it’s a lot more chill (surprisingly) than typical corporate life, so it’s doable...way more blacks in charge, black coworkers period, natural hair, etc. The seasonal role I took before I landed this contract was the worst though. I would have been fired eventually.
Hell yeah..a lot of insight on those reviews

Current - Systems Engineer for a commercial airline. I was laid off from my previous job due to company downsizing, applied with this company and started as a resource analyst. My manufacturing background, and six sigma green and black belts have helped me land my current position.
I got into my career by going to school for engineering, and got my start through nepotism. Pops got me on as a junior engineer at the company he works for, and since then it’s been on.
