Breh, you might as well just stay instate. Houston, Dallas, & Austin are great places for an IT career.

damn, the only reason I thought Miami might be a good choice too is cuz I seen a breh on YouTube who was a mechanic and got certs and he lives not necessarily in Miami but south Florida. and now he making bank. but good looking
appreciate the advice. I actually would add Dallas to the list of places I want to move. good looking breh.

Just got to subnetting my head hurts lol.
A dude I know has a BS in Electrical Engineering from a good school, went through a coding bootcamp, and still can't get a job (in New York). He's looking for advice, but I dunno what to tell him.
Look outside New York? Go to networking events and actually talk to people? Don't be so negative went the career people at the bootcamp are trying to help you?

I would tell him to leave NY and network as much as he can.
Just to give you an idea, my sister has over 10 years of experience in Marketing and recently was moved by her company to NY. Long story short, they ended up cutting jobs including hers and it has been months and she can't find shyt.
Those big cities are just something else, man
He's going to want to expand his search beyond New York. Applying to tech centers like Seattle or Austin is a good idea. More competition but more opportunity. If he doesn't have his projects on GitHub he's playing himself. If he doesn't mention his EE degree he's probably missing out. It takes a real effort to get an engineering degree so he should display it. If he's only doing like one or two applications per day then put your foot up his ass and kick him into gear. A job could have 50+ applicants after only a few minutes. Also peruse for typos, you'd be surprised. The best way is to print it and go over it with a pen to make sure.
Company hit me up for another interview after an initial phone call monday. I felt like I didnt do good so Im surprised they want to continue.
Im probably going to decline because the commute will suck and there are other jobs Im more interest in. The pay bump is legit but I didnt really hear anything that made me excited about the job and there werent any crazy perks.

I would finish the interview process. Interviewing is a skill just like any other job related task. Therefore, your interview skills improve the more you do it - If you eventually get an offer. You can use that offer letter to negotiate a better comp package at the company you want to work at.
Can you pm the material
I did, that's why I gave u my timeline
Unfortunately, it does not work like that for usWe have to start on the desk, and earn our stripes. While "other folks" get to start at mid level positions
Find a help desk job while u study for more advanced stuff - My career took off when I read this thread and stopped waiting for ppl to put me on.
Edit:
@MilesTailsPrower @50CentStan since both of u are in the H. I recommend u try craigslist, Reynolds and Reynolds, and Pomeroy for help desk, service desk, and desktop support positions.
At least can you tell us what we should learn to be sys admin
