Anyone in Houston wanna explain why it's such a shyt tech city compared to ATX, Dallas, and SA? I have recruiters in those three cities blowing up my inbox but the one city I wanna move to I only get a few messages here and there and it's all for Azure even though I work with AWS.

And wassup with these Indian recruiters telling me to "Do the needful"? fukk does that even mean bruh? :mjlol:
A lot of companies (especially in security/cloud)and corps are in Dallas i hear because its cheaper than the Bay area....i stay getting calls from companies out there or in Austin too.

Is the network+ exam cram book worth buying?

I'm already reading the Mike Meyers network+ book along with watching his videos. I also have his practice tests.

I'm going to watch the Professor Messer network+ video Playlist.

I have the Jason Dion's network+ videos too.

Kind of stuck right now between leaving my current job or not. My current team has a great dynamic, and I know there is a great chance I will never find another team like my current one. But the projects I work on are undesirable, I literally come into work unmotivated and cruise everyday.

I been watching videos and learning about the 900 series and taking some random practice tests on here: CompTIA Practice Exams

I was watching most of the Messer videos but then switched to the 1001. The 900 expires in July. Should I just stick with the 900 and study that for the next 3 months and get that? I see someone posted the 900 course notes which i was about to buy the 1001 ones. so i might as well use those for now instead. I got most of the easy basics covered but I need more technical stuff like study more on ports and whatnot. I was taking notes while watching the videos but not the same as the official course notes.

Messer says if you've started the 900 series to take the 900 before it goes away (if you have time to complete both). I'm watching his 902 videos now and I'm almost half way done. I see he has moved his newer content to the 1000 series but I'm sticking with what this.

Yeah I feel ya. I was in the troubleshooting section of the 901, nearly done but had switched over to the 1001 series for a few videos. Think I'll just finish the 901 series. Wonder what the differences between the 2 series are. Hopefully he does a video showing what was new in the 1001 that way we won't be missing out. Might take the 901 and then do the 902 after to not have too much going on at once.

Probably can compare the exam objectives and get a summary of what’s new. I wouldn’t worry about it much though.
