Looking to pass the RHCSA by 2018, a few goals I want to hit for my own business. Main Linux guru left and I was co-coordinator for a few of his sites, now management is all out of sorts. I'm a Windows Sys Admin, but I am quite familiar with Linux (enough to run those sites and backups) so I will try to finesse management for a salary re-adjustment. They say no, I will just gain the free cert they pay for and leave them with additional Linux XP....My departure for them would be tumultuous as I was very strong with AD, Project Management, Image Inventory, PBX, Firewall mgmnt, etc. and great with actual human beings.

Much easier to eat in Houston & Dallas than it was for me in Baton Rouge
Make your resume great & get it up on Dice, Indeed, and if you want Monster/Careerbuilder/Sologig/Ziprecruiter and your email/phone will stay blowing up.

Location also ties into competition level. And my advice to young cats getting in is think about the long money and not the instant assuming this is what you actually want to do with your career because many of the people in here more so seem concerned with pay and not actually making a career.
Dudes gotta make sure they take the steps to not hit a ceiling quick because there is money to be made out there but you also have to put in the work.

That's why I live in Austin Texas now.

I'm out here too, but I'm contemplating moving to either Richardson or Houston.
Oh really? Why one of those places?

One of Cisco's major hubs is in Richardson. It feels like they are trying to move everything up there. Honestly, if I get this CSE role that I'm going for, I might move back to Alabama (either Birmingham or Montgomery). That Grade 12 Salary (80/20) plus commission + Alabama property tax =

I feel you. Gotta think about the long run. Texas teems to be working good for me, though I miss all the seasons. Alabama though is a beautiful state and Montgomery and Birmingham is great for black folks.
I gotta ride this wave here and see what I can do things here. Stash some of my high salary up and invest better.

Yeah. I moved to Texas for this job and I have no real regrets. I like the state and the city, but I missed the train when it came to buying a house. Everybody started moving here and property value in Cedar Park went through the roof. Part of me is debating moving out to Georgetown but it's too many old folks out there.
Truth is, you can eat real good down here. I want to stay just for that.

What you looking at?
I have a cousin who is majoring in computer science would it be wise for him get some certs to be very attractive in the job market?
What do they want to do? Computer science is more geared to development and certs are not needed in development.

He honestly not sure what to do
He obsess with computers so I'm not sure what job he can do with a compsci degree
